Developed by leading New York real estate investment and operating firm Innovo Property Group and managed by The MBS Group, Borden Studios offers 233,000 square feet of best-in-class production space minutes from Manhattan.
The world-class production facility is located on the top floors of The Borden Complex at 23-30 Borden Avenue in Long Island City, New York and is minutes from Manhattan, Brooklyn And Queens.
The multistory Borden Studios offers all the features and conveniences of a ground level studio, including direct, drive-up access to stages, abundant parking and generous space for base camps and crew. It also offers 233,000 square feet of best-in-class production space, including four NC-25 sound-rated stages, 70,351 square feet of creative office space, 41,283 square feet of support space and more than 7,800 square feet of outdoor space, with a private 5,805-square-foot rooftop terrace.
“Borden Studios represents a significant milestone, offering a modern and purpose-built space that combines the convenience of a prime location and advanced capabilities for productions of all sizes. We are proud to bring this vision to life and are confident that it will be a game-changer for the industry,” said Andrew Chung, Founder and CEO of IPG.
“We are equally pleased to have engaged The MBS Group. Its onsite management team is operating the studio, and with our doors officially open, the team is committed to ensuring that tenants receive stellar service and comprehensive support at every phase of their productions,” Chung added.
The MBS Group, the world’s premier studio operator and production services company, is also leading the leasing of the studio space, and MBS Equipment Company, a division of The MBS group, will provide tenants with lighting and grip equipment and other services.
The MBS Group operates some of the industry’s most well-known independent studios and supports more than 600 sound stages across North America, the UK and Europe.
“We are proud to be part of Borden Studios’ story,“ said Irene Phan, executive at The MBS Group and Senior Vice President of Borden Studios.
”IPG created a thoughtfully designed and extremely functional multistory complex that made brand new studio space possible in Metropolitan New York City, where land is scarce. The studio is completely self-contained, and its features and amenities offer production companies the best of the best,” said Phan.
Phan is already well known in the local film and television industry for her breakthrough leadership of The MBS Group’s Illumination Training Program and for bringing the initiative from California to the East Coast. Working in the community to establish partnerships with studios, non-profits, government agencies and unions, Irene spearheaded intensive, skill-based lighting, grip and mock-set workshops that engaged more than 330 students from underserved groups in the area.
