Pinewood Toronto Studios expands purpose-built campus

TORONTO — Pinewood Toronto Studios has expanded its production footprint in Toronto’s Port Lands with a new approximately 27,500 square foot film and television support facility.
Building on last year’s announcement that Pinewood has exercised its option to lease 1.75 acres of additional land from its landlord, the Toronto Port Lands Company, this new approximately 27,500 square foot facility-under construction, complements its existing 300,000 square foot ‘purpose-built’ studio campus on Toronto’s waterfront, states a release issued by Pinewood, which is responsible for hosting Suicide Squad, Room and IT.
The new facility is slated to open in May 2018.
This expansion is a key step in achieving Pinewood Toronto Studios’ plans to grow its purpose-built facility — more than doubling its current size to 700,000 square feet, adds the release.
The new support facility consists of approximately an 11,000 square foot sound stage, a 7,000 square foot production office and 9,500 square feet of workshop area for services like costume design and set construction.
According to the release, expansion plans include upgrades and improvements to the studios’ film and television studios, flexible spaces for media and innovation and complementary uses, such as culture, retail, hotel and long-term stay apartments.
Blake Steels, president of Pinewood Toronto Studios said, “This development will increase production space and continue to support high-paying skilled jobs in the City of Toronto. The expansion will go a long way in meeting the needs of our clients and allow us to host major film productions and TV series concurrently on the lot, something that has been challenging in the past.”
Following the completion of this immediate next phase, Pinewood will accommodate 11 purpose-built stages, including one of the largest soundstages in North America at 46,000 square feet, offices that can house multiple productions at a time, teaching facilities and a variety of support facilities to service a growing roster of domestic and international film and television clients, indicates the release.
