Welcome to The Armory.
A Transformational Redevelopment Project
of the Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce
The Armory will be 100 years old in 2015 and is about to be
repurposed into one of the most exciting redevelopments in
mid-Michigan! While preserving its historic exterior, interior
renovations will offer a fresh and forward-looking perspective
that will stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit, and embrace
and nurture collaborative growth. Get in on the ground-floor
opportunity of Shiawassee County’s first class-A office space.
The Armory’s Next Chapter
Located in downtown Owosso, The Armory was constructed
in 1915. For nearly 90 years it served as home for the
Michigan National Guard 144th Military Police Company,
as well as Civil, First and Second World War infantries.
Throughout the years, it was used by the community as an
entertainment venue for concerts, prize fights, proms, trade
shows and other special events. Legend has it The Armory
has seen the likes of Alice Cooper, Grand Funk Railroad,
Jerry Lee Lewis and The Kingsmen.
Today, through the vision of the Shiawassee Regional
Chamber of Commerce, The Armory is on its way to
writing a creative and collaborative next chapter.
Redevelopment of The Armory offers new and exciting
opportunities you won’t find anywhere else in the region –
including the county’s first-ever class-A office space in
a downtown. Let’s start with the location. Your staff
will enjoy the benefits of working in an urban setting
that’s experiencing exciting revitalization. Owosso and
the surrounding communities are filled with great
schools, wonderful neighborhoods and lots of family
friendly activities.
Imagine being able to walk to Curwood Castle or the
Shiawassee Arts Center for lunch, or sitting next door at
the new brew pub on the river after work with a cold
Michigan craft beer in your hand. You could watch
a local band play right outside your office door at
the nearby ampitheater. Walk to a great dinner
and show after work. The area has 15 restaurants
within walking distance. The Armory will also
serve as the head for the Clinton-IoniaShiawassee Trailway, connecting you with
groomed, scenic nature and bike trails.
Revitalization of The Armory includes fresh, state-ofthe-art décor, high ceilings with open floor plans, and
36,000 sq. ft. of leasable office space with shared
amenities that include conference, break, training
and community rooms. An exceptional 1G of Internet
speed will make technology use a breeze.
Networking will be a daily event over coffee in the
common areas or in group meetings. Do business with
the attorney, accountant or other professionals located
in the same building. Host the best holiday party in
town in one of the most historical – yet most modern
– facilities in the region. When it’s time to take a break,
get out of the office and sit by the river on a bench
surrounded by beautiful landscape. You’ll have an
inviting natural setting – just outside the door. What
a great place to work!
