Lionsgate, NJPAC and Great Point Studios will build a 300,000-square-foot facility with six production stages on the South Ward site of the former Seth Boyden housing project, which was abandoned in 2015 and demolished last February.
What was once a decrepit public housing project in Newark will soon be a massive film and TV production studio, following a $100 million deal announced Tuesday by a consortium of film companies and media investors.
Great Point, whose founder Robert Halmi previously created the Hallmark Channel, will own and operate the studio. Lionsgate will be the anchor tenant and hold naming rights. NJPAC will manage public affairs and create programming for local students.Stay informed about local news and weather. Get the NBC 4 New York app for
