As Saab continues its journey down the long road to brand-redemption and hopefully profitability, it prepares to set up camp in an industrial section of a Detroit suburb. Looking to come out from underneath the GM umbrella and into  its own, it is now leaving GM Tower for a much cozier home in Royal Oak.

Saab is able to make the transition due to, parent company, Spyker Cars being awarded $1.2 million in tax credits by Michigan. Saab will add 25 new employees to its workforce, and will place the majority of these people in marketing and management positions paying between $60,000 and $80,000. More jobs are said to be in the works as Saab creates more space between itself and GM. The Royal Oak headquarters will focus on sales and marketing, leaving engineering and manufacturing to the Trolhatter, Sweden arm of the brand. At some point, Saab’s new US headquarters could also house a call center as well Canadian and Mexican distribution.
