Detroit, Michigan – October 23, 2025
LuxWall is proceeding with the construction of its advanced factory in Detroit, despite the recent cancellation of a $31.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
The facility, located on Bedrock’s Industrial Campus in Detroit’s Delray neighborhood, is set to open in late 2026. It will manufacture LuxWall’s Enthermal™ product line, which enables windows and facades to insulate like walls, helping buildings achieve step-change performance to significantly reduce building energy demand and improve grid resilience.
At full capacity, the Detroit facility will create 277 new jobs, with at least half of its workforce sourced directly from Detroit neighborhoods such as Springwells, Delray, and Mexicantown. Each position will offer wages above prevailing levels with comprehensive benefits designed to attract and retain long-term talent.
Despite the grant cancellation, LuxWall is committed to advancing its manufacturing capabilities in Michigan. The company has previously secured significant investments, including a $51 million funding round led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Prelude Ventures, and Baruch Future Ventures, which supports the scaling of production at its Litchfield, Michigan facility and the expansion of its Detroit plant.
The Detroit factory is designed to meet modern performance and efficiency standards, featuring highly automated production lines, on-site training facilities, and integrated office and quality control spaces. The site has been carefully planned to enhance the surrounding community, with truck routes that avoid residential areas and several urban design improvements that demonstrate LuxWall’s commitment to responsible, future-ready development.
LuxWall’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing in Michigan underscores its dedication to advancing green building technologies and supporting local economic growth.
