Paramount Seeks Nashville Space as Its Los Angeles Lot Is Considered for a Data Center

Paramount is seeking roughly 400,000 square feet of office space in Nashville that it could occupy within two to three years, amid the antitrust fight over its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. It remains uncertain whether the company will leave Los Angeles or retain more operations there.

The company’s 29-sound-stage Los Angeles lot has been discussed as a possible data-center site if it becomes vacant. Current power would support only roughly a couple thousand GPUs—not 50,000 or 100,000—but the site could potentially reach 100 megawatts through a more substantial LADWP transmission connection. The main constraint is described as utility interconnection rather than real estate, while on-site natural-gas generation remains speculative.

A Nashville headquarters is viewed as potentially having independent regional momentum, while the relocation threat could also serve as leverage in negotiations with Los Angeles. Converting the lot into a data center is considered a possible source of new opportunity for the city, though it is unclear whether it would create significant employment.
