Nashville Yards is getting a new tenant soon, as the global architecture firm Gensler secures a spot in the mixed-use development. The firm’s new workplace is a destination that provides it with space, experience, and a way to build relationships. The new workspace also gives the firm a chance to showcase its design philosophy to the community.
Gensler Secures Prime Spot in Downtown Nashville’s Mixed-Use Development
On December 22, 2025, Southwest Value Partners and Gensler announced that the latter has leased an office space at Nashville Yards. The mixed-use development in Downtown Nashville is a walkable, urban community that features only the best of living. The new workspace will be located on the ground level within the main entrance of the development.
It is a significant move for Gensler as it gets the opportunity to showcase its unique design philosophy. Within this space, Gensler receives the freedom to express its creativity, which will act as a magnet for design professionals, business partners, and clients. Moreover, the firm aims to create an environment that balances cost-efficiency, cultural alignment, and flexibility.
Gensler is expected to move into its new office in the summer of 2026. Meanwhile, the retail and office space of The Emory and The Everett residential towers at Nashville Yards is fully leased.
What’s in the New Workplace
Spread over 12,500 square feet at 10th and Commerce in the base of The Everett residential tower, the new workspace has a lot to offer. Gensler’s new local office is a destination that provides a space to work alone, collaborate with others, and build relationships. Its flexibility is such that it differs from a traditional corporate office space and delivers hospitality like none other.
The new space will create an immersive, tailored work environment. The design is such that it also includes a cafe visible from the street. This cafe can easily be converted into a bar or event venue to accommodate the needs of the firm.
