Steiner Studios Expands Its Soundstages at Brooklyn Navy Yard

NEW YORK CITY-A production studio synonymous with national TV hits like Sex & the City, Damages and Boardwalk Empire furthered its commitment to Brooklyn’s industrial sector after agreeing to double its amount of soundstage space along the borough’s waterfront. Locally-based Steiner Studios joined city officials on Monday morning to announce that the company will add five new soundstages totaling 45,000 square feet at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

“A little over a decade ago, New York City struggled to attract the lucrative production industry to film here,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said during the conference. “Now the city is such a popular and prosperous home to hundreds of films and television shows, we have to work hard to keep up with the demand for stages and production facilities. These new soundstages at Steiner Studios will create jobs, and expanding our workforce development programs with new grants will help the next generation of production professionals start their careers on the right track.”
