DOWNTOWN PONTIAC 2.0
28N is located in the heart of Oakland County
Pontiac is quietly emerging as a premier city center in Metro Detroit, with significant investments from the State & County, Amazon, United Wholesale Mortgage, Williams International, three major hospitals and other businesses. Situated at the nexus of major roads like M-59, Woodward Avenue, and I-75, Pontiac is a vital hub of connectivity. As the seat of Oakland County, one of the nation's wealthiest, it hosts key institutions such as the Oakland County Circuit Court. With a nearby airport and Amtrak station, Pontiac offers convenient access to Detroit and Chicago. Close proximity to affluent cities like Birmingham and Troy underscores its resurgence as a central and vibrant urban destination.
