New Film Studio Campus in Bayonne Signs Paramount as Tenant
1888 Studios, a 1.6-million-square-foot film and television production campus under development by Togus Urban Renewal in Bayonne, NJ, announced that Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, has signed a minimum 10-year lease agreement. Paramount has committed to more than 285,000 square feet of the facility, establishing a major production hub in New Jersey.
“With 1888 Studios, we set out to build a cutting-edge facility that would attract the world’s most ambitious storytellers – giving New Jersey true scale and a home for every facet of film and television production under one roof,” said Arpad Busson, chairman, Togus Urban Renewal.
Named for the year Thomas Edison patented the motion picture camera, 1888 Studios is set to become the largest campus-style production facility in the Northeast and one of the largest in the nation. The 58-acre facility will offer 23 smart sound stages with a minimum of 40-foot clear ceilings; production support space; flexible post-production space; offices; mills; base camp and backlot; and lighting and grip facilities for every phase of production.
