Cadillac Place, formerly the General Motors Building, is a landmark high-rise office complex located at 3044 West Grand Boulevard (between Casa and Second Streets), in the New Center area alongside the Detroit River, of downtown Detroit, Michigan, in the Great Lakes region of the Midwestern United States.

It was renamed for the Royal French founder of the earlier French / British settlements of the Fort Detroit and subsequent City of Detroit, by Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac (1658-1730). It is a National Historic Landmark in Michigan, listed in 1985.[4][5]
