🏢✨ Then & Now: The Circuit
It's always fun to see how our member buildings have transformed over the years—and The Circuit at 851 DuPortail Road is a great example.

Originally built in 1980 as a build-to-suit facility for General Motors, this property has evolved into a modern workplace experience featuring conference space, a fitness center, a full-service café, and amenities designed for today's tenants.
