Each creative suite maximizes acoustic performance and is equipped with cutting-edge systems and production gear. The creative suites are alongside collaborative office and social areas to promote engagement between creators and staff.

Sony Music Publishing Chairman and CEO Jon Platt said, “Our focus has been on creating environments that nurture the talent, vision, and goals of our songwriters and people. Our aim was to build a space that supports songwriters every step of the way, welcomes creators, and supports their needs. I am exceptionally proud of what we have built as a team.”

The landmark expansion is part of SMP's ongoing efforts to extend support for songwriters worldwide. Recent developments and enhancements have also been accomplished across multiple territories, including the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Canada, Nashville, Spain, Colombia, Sweden, South Africa, India, and more.
