Porsche opent in 2014 een nieuw HQ voor Noord-Amerika, genaamd One Porsche Drive. Het pand vergt een investering van 100 miljoen dollar en ligt pal naast de Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport op een terrein waar in 2006 nog een Ford-fabriek stond.

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. celebrated a landmark groundbreaking of its new headquarters, which is being designed by HOK and will be known as One Porsche Drive. Located adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the 26.4-acre site is the first complex to be built in the “Aerotropolis Atlanta” business district.
Most of Porsche’s North American operations will be consolidated here after the new facility opens in the second half of 2014.

One Porsche Drive will house 400 employees. In addition to corporate offices, it will feature a technical service and training center, a conference center and a museum. The Porsche headquarters campus will feature a customer experience center including a 1.6-mile test track and handling road course to showcase the capabilities of Porsche’s industry-leading vehicles.
“This world-class facility underscores our commitment to customers and dealers in the United States, which remains the single largest market for Porsche vehicles,” said Detlev von Platen, president and CEO, Porsche Cars North America.
