As one of Michigan’s top advocacy organizations, Michigan Realtors represents a base of over 30,000 members throughout the state. Responding to a desire to improve physical space and support brand momentum, the association partnered with Progressive AE to vision a future Headquarters facility that reflects their strong reputation and brand promise. Together we established an understanding of existing conditions, explored future possibilities, and aligned around a strategic direction for Michigan Realtors’ future headquarters.
