Office furniture liquidation in Ann Arbor
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Ann Arbor, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor's office market covers downtown around Main Street and State Street next to the University of Michigan, plus suburban office and research areas along Plymouth Road, State Street south toward I-94 and the US-23 corridor. Technology and software firms, automotive research, healthcare, university spinoffs and professional services firms are the main tenants.
Downtown has low-rise and mid-rise office buildings, many with retail below and limited loading, while the outlying areas have one- and two-story office, research and flex buildings with surface parking. Downtown clear-outs hinge on curb and alley access, while research and flex buildings may have docks or roll-up doors but can include lab equipment that needs separate handling.

Planning a Ann Arbor move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.
- Never schedule a move on a University of Michigan home football Saturday, when roads around Michigan Stadium and downtown are jammed.
- Avoid late August student move-in and graduation weekends, when downtown curbs and streets near campus fill up.
- Coordinate downtown loading with ground-floor shops and restaurants that share alleys and service doors along Main Street and State Street.
- Separate lab benches, test rigs and research equipment from office furniture early in tech and research buildings, since they often need their own removal path.
- Plan around US-23 and I-94 congestion and winter storms when routing trucks in and out of the city.
