F.H. Paschen Triples Detroit Office Space With Move to New Riverfront Headquarters

DETROIT, MI — F.H. Paschen, an infrastructure construction company, announces a major expansion with a ribbon-cutting for a new Downtown Detroit office along the river at the Talon Center to support its rapid growth in the Michigan market. The new office space triples the size of the company’s previous downtown footprint.

With more than $300 million in new regional business growth, the construction firm is scaling up its office space to keep pace with demand. By staying in downtown, F.H. Paschen reinforces its identity as a Detroit-based business dedicated to the city's ongoing economic development.

“Moving to the Talon Center allows us to better serve our clients while staying rooted in the heart of Detroit,” said Ken Swartz, Vice President at F.H. Paschen and leader of the Detroit office. “Our team has been leading infrastructure projects in this region for over 30 years. This larger space ensures we have the resources to manage our increasing workload and continue hiring local talent.”

F.H. Paschen’s Detroit portfolio includes major utility and infrastructure work. The firm is currently executing multiple projects for their largest client, the Great Lakes Water Authority, facility renovations at the City of East Lansing’s Water Resource Recovery Facility, and has recently broken ground on the $110 million City of Warren Waste Water Treatment Plant Dewatering and Incineration improvement project.

The Paschen Detroit office is led by Swartz, a 45-year infrastructure construction veteran. Joining him in leadership roles are other long-time Detroit-area construction executives, including water treatment industry expert Bob Costa and Project Executive Mike Mancik.

With the expansion of Paschen’s Detroit presence, the company aims to build better water and public infrastructure in Michigan. F.H. Paschen’s local leadership has decades of experience navigating the specific needs of Detroit’s built environment, from complex water systems to transportation hubs.

“Detroit is a key market for our company’s future,” said Jim Blair, CEO of F.H. Paschen. “The growth we are seeing here is a result of our team’s hard work and the strong relationships they have built with local partners. We are invested in Detroit and southeastern Michigan’s success and look forward to contributing to the city's growth for years to come.”
