Office furniture liquidation in Southfield
Corporate move-outs, consolidations and lease exits in Southfield, planned around the district's buildings and logistics, starting with a free walkthrough.
Clearing an office in Southfield
Southfield sits just north of Detroit's Eight Mile Road, with its office core along Northwestern Highway, Telegraph Road and the Lodge Freeway (M-10) near I-696, extending into Bingham Farms. Automotive suppliers, insurance and financial firms, healthcare companies, law firms and corporate headquarters make up most of the tenant base.
The market is dominated by 1970s and 1980s suburban office towers and mid-rise buildings, including the Southfield Town Center complex, plus office parks along Northwestern Highway. Most buildings have docks, freight elevators and large surface lots or decks, and the area's high vacancy means many jobs involve emptying whole floors or entire buildings.
District snapshot: The Southfield/Bingham Farms submarket had 29.3% office vacancy in Q3 2026, yet it led metro Detroit with 433,000 square feet of leasing year to date, 30.6% of the total, according to Cushman & Wakefield. Source

Planning a Southfield move-out
What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.

- Route trucks around Northwestern Highway, Telegraph Road and the I-696 and Lodge Freeway interchange during the morning and evening rush.
- Check parking deck clearances at Southfield Town Center and similar towers before sending box trucks below grade.
- Get the landlord's certificate of insurance wording and dock booking rules in writing before scheduling crews.
