The site–noted for its historic structures and rich landscaping–offers a production environment radically different from anything available in New York City today, officials say. With buildings preserved from the Civil War and both World Wars, the open campus environment features winding drives, expansive fields and park-like grounds. The 20-acre site is adjacent to Steiner Studios existing space at the Navy Yard.

The nonprofit Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. is partnering with private developer Steiner to convert multiple structures and buildings at the Brooklyn Navy Yard into Steiner Studios Media Campus III. The project will include the construction of a gas, water, sewer, electric and teledata infrastructure loop on the 20-acre Naval Annex that will allow for over 300,000 square feet of new space for media and tech companies, together with academic partners, in nine historic structures and five new buildings. Other key infrastructure investments include construction of the Kent avenue vehicular entrance, a campus pedestrian passage, and a grand stair plaza which will connect the Naval Annex to Steiner Studios. Also included in this phase will be the renovation of the 46,000 square-foot officers' club and the construction of approximately 177,000 square feet of new soundstages.

“For decades, we have been preserving the hospital campus site for the best possible re-use, says David Ehrenberg, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. Steiner Studios' continued commitment to the Navy Yard ensures the future vitality of this site and thousands of new employment opportunities,” “Thanks to the state's and city's crucial funding, we can now begin the necessary infrastructure work and further solidify New York as a destination for film and television production.”
