The ribbon is cut and the workers are moved in at Saab Cars North America's new headquarters in Royal Oak.

The Swedish automaker took over the former home of Ronnisch Construction Group on the north side of the inner-ring suburb. The construction firm had taken an old industrial building by the railroad tracks between 14 Mile and Normandy Roads and turned it into edgy office space.

The 13,300-square-foot building now has all of the modern, contemporary amenities that people normally find in downtown Royal Oak or Metro Detroit's other vibrant city centers. Saab has invested another $2.4 million to move 60 jobs from its marketing, sales, and product evaluation arms into that office.

The Michigan Economic Development Corp approved a $1.2 million tax break over five years to make the deal happen.
