Rio Bravo studios greenlighted in Albuquerque

Movie Studios Advancing in Albuquerque

Rio Bravo Studios will build a commercial soundstage facility with four 20,000 square feet sound stages, which are planned to be operational by 2025. The site will include office areas for each sound stage, two complete mill shops and ample parking for 450 cars, leaving over 10 acres available for backlot use. 

The facility will be built on an 18.46-acre parcel near the intersection of Rio Bravo and 2nd Street, adjacent to the Bernalillo County NMRX Station just south of town.

The finished facility will be close to I-25 and Albuquerque International Sunport. 

Rio Bravo’s Daniel Chavez added. “The New Mexico film community has created an amazing infrastructure for film production. We have the opportunity to be the best in the world, and this development moves us one more step in that direction.”

Trevor Hatchell and Matt Butkus of CBRE represented Schwartzman, Inc., the seller, in the sale, while Scott Whitefield and Shona Martinez represented the buyer.
