FaciliNet sees 40 percent growth, plans to add 3-4 people

Firms in the midst of moving or expanding their space usually don't want their business to suffer while they transition.

Gordon Sommerville and Robert Nagle recognized this a little more than three years ago and started FaciliNet Services. Today the Troy-based firm takes the lead for companies looking for new space so they can focus on their core business.

It serves companies both near (Metro Detroit) and far (Victoria, British Colombia) and has watched it business grow to mirror it. Its revenue averages about 40 percent growth each year. The four-person firm (which also has another 2-3 sub contractors) expects to double its staff within the next year to keep up with its work.

"We're finally starting to see some growth in Michigan," Sommerville says.

The credit unions and life sciences industries are the two biggest in need of new space. It's a trend Sommerville expects to continue for the foreseeable future.

"We see these two areas consistently growing," Sommerville says.
