Innovo Property Group has released renderings for Borden Studios, its purpose-built film and television studio that will occupy the top floors of The Borden Complex. Located at 23-30 Borden Ave. in Long Island City, Queens, New York, the studio will offer the convenience of a ground-level facility with direct, drive-up access and abundant parking. The complex also offers plus 220,000 square feet of production space minutes from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The space is expected to be delivered in Spring 2024.
Borden Studios touts four NC-25 sound-rated sound stages, 43,000 square feet of offices, 56,000 square feet of support space, and more than 8,800 square feet of outdoor space, including a nearly 7,000-square-foot, private rooftop terrace.
Sound stages range in size from 11,800 to 16,200 square feet, and feature 40-foot ceilings and fully retractable, STC-53-rated walls, which allow the four stages to open to two double-sized spaces. Production offices and mill space are situated next to the stages on Level 4, while executive suites and flex space are located on the level above.
In addition to 220,000 square feet of studio space, 110,000 square feet of warehouse space is located on Level 3, and is available to service studio tenants, as well as ancillary businesses.
Borden Studios is set to be operated by The MBS Group, the world’s largest studio operating and production services company, and serviced by the MBS Equipment Company, a division of The MBS Group. The MBS Group operates some of the industry’s most iconic studio lots, services over 500 sound stages and supports more than 900 productions per year across North America, the UK and Europe.
“Borden Studios offers a fulsome leasing opportunity for content creators who want to film in New York City,” said Michael Newport, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for The MBS Group. “The facility is innovative and completely self-contained, and it’s only minutes from Manhattan.”
All levels of the studio are fully accessible from the attached, multistory parking structure, while a 32-foot-wide parking ramp allows easy ingress and egress for trucks and trailers. Approximately 28,000 square feet of dedicated studio parking provides abundant space for base camps and crew.
“By delivering a multistory facility, we’re able to address the needs of next-generation users in the dense metropolitan market of New York City, all while enhancing convenience and flexibility with direct, drive-up access and plentiful parking right outside the doors,” said Andrew Chung, founder and CEO of IPG.
