Nashville, TN – September 13, 2022 – Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world’s leading management consulting firms, and WeWork (NYSE: WE), one of the leading global flexible space providers, today announced the recent opening of BCG’s first-ever office in Nashville. In this deal, BCG occupies approximately 6,550 square feet of dedicated space at WeWork One Nashville Place, providing more than 100 employees with access to flexible workspace.
Founded in 1963 by Nashville native Bruce Henderson, BCG’s entry into the market is a move that builds on the firm’s local roots and supports its vision for the future. The turnkey WeWork space enables BCG to quickly join Nashville’s rapidly growing business community, while strategically navigating the uncertainty of entering a new market with WeWork’s flexible membership plans. With the ability to scale their footprint as their workforce evolves, BCG is now able to meet top talent where they are located by offering a world-class, flexible workspace right in the heart of Music City.
In today’s changing workplace environment, companies are looking for workspaces that can both accommodate business needs and satisfy employee demand for flexibility. With panoramic views of downtown Nashville, BCG’s WeWork office features a variety of workspace solutions, from lounge seating for group work to phone booths for private calls, designed to help support collaboration and boost productivity for diverse workstyles. BCG employees will also have access to WeWork’s common areas and shared amenities within the building, including stocked kitchens and networking events.
“BCG is thrilled to announce that we’ve officially opened our doors in Nashville,” said Luke Pototschnik, Managing Director and Senior Partner, Nashville Office Lead at the Boston Consulting Group. “Nashville is home to some of the brightest talent in the country and we’re excited to be part of this community and look forward to being an active participant in the years ahead. This expansion is also sentimental, representing a return to the company’s roots. Bruce Henderson, our founder, was born and raised here in Nashville and dreamed of opening a BCG office in his hometown. Over 60 years later, we’ve seen Bruce’s dream spring to life.”
Nashville has emerged as a leading market for WeWork as companies, like BCG, prioritize flexible workspace and desirable locations to attract and retain talent. Demand for flexible access to workspace is a trend that has gained momentum in the city, supported by a 51% increase in WeWork All Access bookings and 50% increase in WeWork On Demand bookings between January and July 2022.
“We’re excited to welcome BCG to the WeWork community in Nashville with a workspace that fosters collaboration and growth,” said Suzie Russell, Territory Vice President of Atlantic, WeWork. “WeWork’s flexible membership plans afford companies greater optionality and less risk when entering new markets. Nashville continues to prove itself as a market primed for innovation and we’re thrilled to see more companies recognizing the opportunities that the city has to offer.”
