Universal Music Group is set to create a groundbreaking $250 million entertainment and education campus in the Berry Hill suburb of Nashville. The proposed campus will feature four zones including music studios, education/office space, retail space, restaurants, and a community building, as well as more than 400 parking spaces to accommodate the diverse needs of the campus.
Nashville Metro Councilwoman Courtney Johnston praised the design, stating “The way that it’s being designed is really community focused. They’re expanding the green space, they’re offering retail and restaurants and outdoor music venues.” Berry Hill City manager Joe Baker confirmed that Universal Music Group has already purchased some buildings, including East Iris Studios, and that commissioners have voted to approve the plan, but are also looking at alternatives.
The City of Berry Hill has designated the specific design and development standards for the four distinct zones, and a completed traffic analysis impact to analyze six intersections around the new development. As part of the educational initiative, UMG will designate the west side of Columbine Park for higher education music school programs to be led by industry professionals.
According to the development document submitted to the City of Berry Hill, “The proposed mixed-use development is for an entertainment industry production and education campus centered around a vibrant public space bordered by a mix of restaurant and retail uses.”
