Blending New Jersey’s cinematic legacy with state-of-the-art facilities, 1888 Studios will be a sprawling 1.6 million square-foot film and television studio development in Bayonne, poised to be the Northeast’s premier production campus.
Uniquely located in Bayonne, NJ, less than 30 minutes from downtown Manhattan and accessible by train, car, helicopter, and water ferry, 1888 Studios is within the Union mandated 25-mile studio zone centered on Columbus Circle. The facility is in the core of one of the largest studio markets in the world. By designing the largest purpose-built studio campus in the Northeast with superior infrastructure and support facilities, the world’s premier content creators will be able to benefit from cost saving operational efficiencies resulting in a near limitless canvas for creativity.
Furthermore 1888 Studios’ tenants will be able to access New Jersey’s Film and TV incentives, which are some of the most attractive in the world, offering a 35% rebate on all in-state spend, and a 40% rebate on all labor costs including above-the-line expenses through 2039.
1888 Studios’ campus is uniquely equipped to cater to all sizes of film and TV production including the ability to power large scale film making technologies such as LED volume capture. The campus will be home to 23 state-of-the-art “Smart” Stages ranging from 18,000 sf to 60,000 sf. Each stage is powered by 6,000-10,000 amps and has a clear height of 40-50 foot to the grid and catwalks. Further features include over 10 acres of basecamp parking, dedicated on-site 5-story parking garage, in addition to a massive 22-acre water back lot privately owned by the studio, and conveniently located on-site industry vendors, including a dedicated lighting and grip facility.
