NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December 19, 2024) – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, is proud to announce that construction is complete on FlexEtc Nashville, an office/industrial co-warehousing location. Ware Malcomb provided interior design and branding services for the 91,380 square foot tenant improvement project, located just southeast of downtown Nashville at 1133 Polk Avenue.
From content creation
studios to warehousing and logistics, FlexEtc offers a collection of
contemporary warehouse spaces for businesses of all sizes with seamlessly
scalable solutions in a community-centered hub. The company currently offers
locations in Los Angeles, Denver, Salt Lake City, Plano TX, in addition to its
Nashville location.
“Nashville presented an ideal location to realize
FlexEtc’s innovative concept, and our team focused on incorporating our
client’s extensive amenity program into the 7,000 square foot office component
in keeping with its brand and established design language” said Rebecca
Moore, Director, Interior Architecture & Design.
FlexEtc Nashville
embraces the new trends of co-warehousing and coworking by offering a variety
of shared features. Its front area office design incorporates both private and
shared office spaces, a reception, conference room, lounge, break room and
common areas, as well as a kitchen and coffee bar. The design further caters to
creative professionals by offering a photo and podcast studio, as well as a
dark room for photographers.
The warehouse interior is
configured in modular units ranging from 300 to 2,300 square feet separated by
prefabricated Janus walls. The warehouse features common loading docks, ramped
drive-in doors, a forklift, pallet jacks, and push carts. There is also premium
units that have private loading.
Ware Malcomb’s design
team incorporated some of the existing building features in the new space,
including large metal doors that were part of a kiln used by a previous tenant,
while as much of the pre-existing lighting was re-used where possible. The
building has energy efficient LED lighting throughout, and EV charging stations
were added to the exterior parking area.
“This project allowed us
to push creative boundaries, crafting a visual identity and wayfinding system
that celebrated the FlexEtc brand’s individuality while delivering clarity,
consistency and a sense of place across all environments” said Andrew
Capeluto, Studio Manager, Branding.
DWC Construction handled general contracting services for the project and
Colliers was the client manager.
