Nashville, Tennessee – Bridgestone Americas has announced plans to relocate its headquarters to downtown Nashville in a newly constructed facility slated for completion in mid-to-late 2017.
In a press conference on 11 Nov, the company’s CEO Gary Garfield said the new HQ would house more than 1,700 employees – 1,100 currently based in Nashville and 600 more jobs from three out-ofstate business units that are being relocated to the city.
Garfield welcomed the unification of Bridgestone staff in America, and said: “Under one roof, we will increase collaboration, innovation and growth across our lines of business.
The planned 514,000-square-foot, 30-story headquarters building is located at 4th Avenue S. and Demonbreun Street and is expected to break ground in early 2015, with planned occupancy in the third quarter of 2017.
