Edit sorry the story is from 2015 but there was never any more information put out on the project that I could find even though phases 1 & 2 are complete, perhaps they didn't want to let anyone know how plain looking they were making the buildings.
I got one it's right down the street from me considering I see it every day figured i'd add it in. Back in 2015 Google signed a lease at an office building on the s.w. corner of 12 mile and Farmington for a call center. At the same time on the opposite side of Farmington Road the city was apparently about to condemn the h.q. of a former insurance. The site it was subsequently torn down and has already been replaced by a Courtyard Marriott and a Holiday Inn which just opened. Site prep for the 3rd hotel unnamed as of 2015 is progressing with construction to most likely start soon.
BTW there have been new 7 hotels counting this 3rd which work is starting on now that have been built in or on the border of F.H. in the past 2-3 years there is one at 14 mile and Orchard Lake in West Bloomfield and one at 14 and Haggerty in Commerce Twp.

Blueprints of the three proposed hotels. The far right hotel would be a Courtyard by Marriott and built first. The middle hotel would be a Holiday Inn and built second. The third hotel may then follow. (Photo: Provided by City of Farmington Hills)
The former Farmington Hills headquarters of what was Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance...
The Hamilton building had a handful of office tenants after the insurance workers left and was eventually condemned by the city. Today six weathered statues of lions stand sentinel over its former entrance gates.
