Caven Point Studio Explained

Cinelease Studios–Caven Point, or Caven Point Studio, is a film studio/soundstage complex in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Background

The building, located in the Greenville section of the city, had earlier been a 'last mile' warehouse-distribution center.[1] It is east of Garfield Avenue and west of the Hudson County Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike at the southern end of the Canal Crossing redevelopment area.[2]

In September 2019 the Criterion Group announced would convert the warehouse complex into the what would be state's largest film studio named Caven Point Studio.[3] [4] [5] In 2020, Criterion Group partnered with One Stop Properties to purchase two nearby warehouse properties to create three soundstages and an offsite “support space”[6] called "Fold and Hold".[7]

The project received tax credits and other incentives offered by the state through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission[8]

The complex opened in August 2021.[4] [9] It has three soundstages totaling 112400square feet that are 40feet high to the grid and 50feet to the ceiling.[10] In August 2023 it was announced that the complex would further expand.[11]
