Built on handshakes. Still standing on them.

Kemp Building & Development Co. has been a trusted name in industrial development across Metro Detroit since 1971. Three generations of Kemps. One standard of quality.

Kemp Building & Development Co. was founded in 1971 by William T. Kemp with a simple idea: build quality industrial spaces and treat people right. What started as one man's vision has grown into a multi generational family business, now led by brothers Tom and Russ Kemp.

We focus on developing customer selected sites, industrial parks, and leasing industrial and commercial spaces across Metro Detroit. Our strong relationships with local municipalities allow us to navigate the complexities of development while keeping every project aligned with community growth and business needs.

We pride ourselves on making the development process straightforward and collaborative. Whether you're a developer, a business owner, or just exploring your options, we're here to guide you through it. That approach has earned us the trust of repeat customers and local partners for over five decades.
