Manhattan is set to become a new hub for the film and content industry with plans for a massive 266,000 square-foot studio at Pier 94 on the Hudson River’s West Side. This project is a joint venture between Blackstone and Vornado.

Additionally, there’s a significant 11-soundstage studio in Queens, located in the old Steinway Piano Factory, in a partnership involving Wildflower and Robert DeNiro’s Wildflower Studios. This expansion is part of a larger trend, with over 130 new production facilities added in New York over the past 5 years.

The question now is, where will they place the iconic Hollywood-style sign?
