USA - Southwest Value Partners, AEG, and L-Acoustics have announced that L-Acoustics is the latest entertainment industry leader to open office space at Nashville Yards. Expected to launch in the summer of 2025, it will become the company’s major operations and creative hub for the Americas, joining its global hubs in Paris, Los Angeles, London, and Singapore.
“The opening of our Americas headquarters in Nashville, the Music City, marks a significant milestone for L-Acoustics globally and reinforces our commitment to serving our partners throughout North America from a central location, said Laurent Vaissié, co-CEO of L-Acoustics.
"Being part of this dynamic creative hub perfectly aligns with our ambition to connect people through the best-shared sound experience, building a vibrant community with the most creative artists and entertainment professionals alongside industry leaders like AEG Presents and CAA."
L-Acoustics will be located in the development’s creative office building on the fourth level, along with AEG Presents. Anchored by CAA, the creative office building at Nashville Yards is the first of its kind in the city. Showcasing an articulated metal façade with ultra-clear glazing, the layered floor plates allow outdoor private terraces on every floor.
Adjacent to The Pinnacle, the development’s indoor live music and event venue, the building rises 11 stories above Church Street with large 40,000sq.ft floorplates, soaring ceiling heights, three levels of curated retail, dining, and entertainment along with best-in-class private amenities including meeting hubs, entertainment spaces, and a large outdoor vegetated deck overlooking Nashville Yards.
L-Acoustics will maintain a strong presence on the West Coast with global business, product management, communication, and application leadership functions based in Westlake Village, California.
“L-Acoustics’ innovative equipment elevates the experience at venues across the globe,” said Cary Mack, managing partner of Southwest Value Partners. “They are the perfect embodiment of our vision for Nashville Yards as a dynamic and unique environment where the entertainment, tech, finance, and creative classes intersect. We are excited to have them join the other world-class tenants calling Nashville Yards home.”
The Pinnacle will feature an L-Acoustics K2 professional sound system installed by Clair Global. The Pinnacle is set to open in March 2025.
“We are thrilled that L-Acoustics has selected Nashville Yards as its southeastern US home and showcase,” said Ted Tanner, executive vice-president of real estate development for AEG. “Joining companies such as AEG Presents and CAA as anchors of our creative office building in the heart of our vibrant new entertainment district, will further establish Nashville Yards as the City’s newest hub for innovative organisations.
“L-Acoustics has been a valued partner of AEG Presents, providing sound equipment, technology, and consultation for many of their business units, including global touring, festivals, venues, and The Pinnacle. This new headquarters location will enable further collaboration and innovation, benefiting the sound experience for our artists and fans worldwide,” Tanner added.
