The Qube, also known asChase Tower,^[1] is a 14-storyhigh-riseoffice building indowntownDetroit, Michigan.^[2] It is located onCampus Martius at the northeast corner of theDetroit Financial District. Designed byAlbert Kahn Associates in themodern architectural style, it includes a great deal ofmarble, similar to other buildings in the nearby Civic Center.

The building was originally known as theNational Bank of Detroit Building, and later as theBank One Center.^[3]

The Qube stands on the site of Detroit's first skyscraper, theHammond Building. The ground floor of this building is a massive 1.5-story glass sheathed,banking hall. The building was known as 'Chase Tower' from 2006 to 2011 to reflectChase Bank's buyout ofBank One. In March 2007, the Sterling Group purchased the tower from JP Morgan Chase. Occupancy was approximately 50 percent at the time of sale. The building has had 3 official names now, for each of the 3 successive banks that have owned it: National Bank of Detroit (NBD), succeeded by Bank One, and lastly Chase.The building has gone by several names in the past, most notably: Bank One Center,National Bank of Detroit Building, Bank One Building and Chase Tower.^[4]

In April 2011,Quicken Loans bought the building, renamed it the Qube and relocated 4,000 of the company's employees to the facility. The company plans to fill remaining space with retail.^[5]

In August 2014, the Detroit bureau ofSouthfield-basedABC affiliateWXYZ-TV moved into the Qube after spending several decades across from the headquarters of theDetroit Police Department; its new location now includes satellite studio and newsroom facilities.^[6]
