Highlights will include a village office complex overlooking a large, man-made lake, the newspaper added.
The Detroit News said that Visteon, now based in Dearborn, plans to consolidate 4,000 employees from 14 separate locations at the new site, which will feature a series of individual buildings overlooking landscaped courtyards.
The complex would have a central “town square” with cafeteria, shops and service outlets such as a bank and dry cleaners, the newspaper added.
Construction is scheduled to start this summer, the Detroit News said, and finish by 2005.
“We have not made a final decision on the project, but we hope to make an announcement on whether we move forward (by July),” Visteon public affairs manager Tammera Hallums told the Detroit News.
More than one million square feet of space is scheduled to be built, including areas for administrative offices, laboratories, research and development, support staff and amenities such as a fitness centre and library, the newspaper added.
