This is a unique community that needs specialized offerings to thrive, and we are honored to bring our passion and learnings from the last decade to support Nashville’s strong live entertainment industry.

The Team closed on the 82-acre property in February this year, which is located less than 10 miles from Downtown Nashville. The planned Rock Nashville campus will consist of 515,000 sq. ft. of sound stages up to 95 ft tall, creative offices, and production facilities of various sizes to accommodate the varying production specifications for live shows.
“As a full-service developer, we’re thrilled to be involved in the design, construction, and development of the future of Music City and live entertainment. As we continue to invest in the growing market of Nashville, this is our first foray into the entertainment world. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect operating partner to bring a new offering to the Nashville market alongside,”
Patrick Poole, Nashville Market Leader for Al. Neyer.
Rock Nashville looks to enrich the local community with a collaborative campus that will serve both artists and the behind-the-scenes professionals supporting all genres of music and live entertainment. This includes everyone from up-and-coming local acts to globally recognized performers. The Rock Lititz campus will become a hub for production and innovation. The facility will serve the live event industry by offering resources such as:
- Sound & lighting design and engineering.
- Production manufacturing.
- Touring artist and crew wellness support services.
The team plans to replicate this collaborative campus in Nashville with an even greater emphasis on community and support for local and visiting artists and their crews alike. Confirmed future tenants include Soundcheck Nashville and Clair Global as the first of over 30 industry vendors and entertainment groups to utilize the live music and event production space.
“As a member of the Nashville entertainment community for over 30 years, we couldn’t be more excited to make Rock Nashville our new home,” said Soundcheck GM Kindal Jumper. “As Music City continues to grow as a premier destination for all genres of music, the campus’s state-of-the-art facilities will allow Soundcheck to meet the growing needs of today’s acts, ensuring the highest caliber production experience for artists from Broadway to Bridgestone.”
Construction is set to begin in May 2024. Further details regarding the project timeline, design concepts, and partnership opportunities will be announced in the coming months.
