Challenge
Warner Music Group sought to consolidate three Los Angeles office locations and six business groups into a single West Coast headquarters. The new workplace needed to support the distinct needs of its record labels and music publishing operations, providing spaces for collaboration, creative production and live performance while creating an environment that would attract and retain talent.
Solution
G&T provided Project Management and Cost Management for the headquarters, designed by Rockwell Group. The project incorporated approximately 200,000 sq ft of creative office space and 30,000 sq ft of shared collaboration areas, including Center Stage, a fully functioning live performance venue. Specialist facilities included recording studios, critical listening rooms with custom-designed sound systems and bespoke office interiors. The building also features an original Shepard Fairey artwork and a refurbished, Warner Music-branded water tower.
Outcome
The new headquarters brought Warner Music Group's West Coast teams together in the Arts District, connecting its labels, publishing operations and creative functions within one workplace. Purpose-built studios, performance facilities and shared spaces support collaboration between employees and artists, while the building's distinctive design establishes a recognizable presence for Warner Music in Downtown Los Angeles.
