BAB Associates assisted the start-up biotechnology company in planning for a move from leased space to an owner occupied, state-of-the-art laboratory and office space. Babiarz engaged the services of Synergy Group to assist Molecular Innovations in the planning for its new building, the design and construction. We also assisted with tax breaks, SBA loan acquisition and other ways for the firm to leverage itself as a key player in Oakland County’s emerging sectors program.
BAB Associates organized the ground-breaking event that was attended by nearly 100 dignitaries and well wishers of the firm. The CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Jim Epolito, gave a keynote address. Oakland County Deputy Executive Dennis Toffolo also addressed the group along with Novi elected officials. The groundbreaking event drew coverage in The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, Oakland Press, Novi News, WJR, WWJ and other media. Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who could not attend due to her travel schedule, surprised Owner Duane Day with a personal call of congratulations.
In terms of integrated planning and execution, Molecular Innovations represents the full scale of services of BAB Associates in helping clients from concept to completion on the wide ranging issues of design and construction, business expansion and marketing and public relations services.
