UWM headed for new HQ
Wholesale lender United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) has announced that it will move to new headquarters in Pontiac, Mich., following a move by its parent firm United Shore to the new location. The move will be completed by summer of 2018.

The firm will be among the companies that will occupy a 600,000-square-foot office at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise building on South Boulevard. The facility sits in the middle of a 60-acre campus.
“We want to continue to be a magnet for top talent in the area…” United Shore and UWM president and chief executive Mat Ishbia said in a company statement.

The new offices will have conventional facilities, such as an innovation laboratory and collaboration spaces, and some novelty amenities in a bid to retain the company’s mostly millennial workforce. These include a Starbucks with indoor and outdoor seating, massage rooms with full-time therapists, putting greens, basketball and volleyball courts, and even a game room and dance floor with a DJ booth for the company’s well-known 3 o’clock parties.

UWM processed more than $23 billion in loan volume in 2016 and is on track to surpass the $30 billion mark this year, the company said.
