Togus Urban Renewal has contracted Turner Construction Company to build a 1.5-million-square-foot motion picture and television studio in Bayonne, New Jersey.
The name of the new facility, 1888 Studios, recognizes the year the motion picture camera was invented. The 17-building campus will include studio sound stage buildings, flexible support/office spaces and workshop/mill buildings in which the stage sets will be constructed and stored.
It is expected that more than 2,000 construction workers will contribute to building the studio, which will have approximately 2,000-3,000 full-time employees working in the studio when complete.
Environmental sustainability and resiliency will be built into the project and the site will be increased in elevation to address potential flooding now and in the future.
Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2023.
