Brent Lang Executive Editor Vornado Realty Trust has lined up partners in both the private and public sector for its plans to redevelop Pier 94 on Manhattan’s West Side as a film and TV studio. The company announced that Hudson Pacific Properties and Blackstone will back the project, as well as the City of New York, and New York City Economic Development Corporation. Vornado, which has struggled for years to demolish the old pier and to transform it into various different venues such as a giant trade show facility, contributed its long-term leasehold to the venture.
In return, it will own 49.9% of the studio. According to a press release announcing the venture, Hudson Pacific will own 25.6% and Blackstone’s institutional Core+ Real Estate strategy will own 24.5%. Vornado will be responsible for developing the property, while Hudson Pacific will provide design oversight and manage the facility’s leasing and operations.
The project comes as New York has become a major destination for film and television production thanks to its generous tax incentives, and this will be the only studio on the island of Manhattan. Though shooting has slowed substantially due to the writers and actors strikes, when labor disputes aren’t taking place, many producers and media companies are hard-pressed to find space. Pier 94 isn’t the only project in the works.
