Southwest Value Partners, AEG, and L-Acoustics, a leading global creator of professional sound technology, announce that L-Acoustics is the latest entertainment industry company 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,” says 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 4th level, along with AEG Presents. Anchored by CAA, the creative office building at Nashville Yards showcases 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 state-of-the-art indoor live music and event venue, the building rises eleven stories above Church Street with large 40,000+ square foot 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 is the industry leader in premium sound technology, and their innovative equipment elevates the experience at venues across the globe,” says 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 company’s announcement states, “L-Acoustics technology is installed in over 10,000 premium venues around the globe and used by a majority of top music festivals and tours worldwide. Its technologies power the most demanding live events and memorable sound experiences, from Adele’s Las Vegas residency to the Philharmonie de Paris Concert Hall and the world’s largest sports events.”
The Pinnacle, the state-of-the-art music and event venue at Nashville Yards, will feature an L-Acoustics K2 professional sound system installed by Clair Global. The Pinnacle is set to open in March 2025, and a list of already-announced shows is available on pinnaclenashville.com.
“We are thrilled that L-Acoustics has selected Nashville Yards as its southeastern US home and showcase,” says 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 organizations.”
“L-Acoustics has been a valued partner of AEG Presents, providing sound equipment, technology, and consultation for numerous 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 concludes.
