Mediapro North America, a leader in the world of media and entertainment, held a groundbreaking ceremony on November 6, 2023 for the Mediapro Studios at Great Point Studios project. The event took place at 1500 North Broadway in Yonkers, NY with Mayor Mike Spano in attendance, as well as key executives and stakeholders from Mediapro and Great Point Studios.
The new Mediapro Studios at Great Point Studios facility will offer cutting-edge production space complete with soundstages, post-production facilities and other amenities that will attract filmmakers, content creators, and production companies from around the world. The facility will feature three stages encompassing 20,000 total square feet. While two of them have space to accommodate large-scale productions, the third will cater to more intimate projects, ensuring that a wide variety of clients can be served.
Mediapro’s collaboration with Robert Halmi’s Great Point Studios will add another world-class hub for film and television production in the heart of Yonkers, further strengthening the region’s role as a premier destination for the entertainment industry, city officials stated. Great Point Studios, already one of the country’s largest owners of television and film production facilities in the Northeast, has existing long-term partnerships with Lionsgate and Syracuse University.
Mayor Spano said, “The addition of Mediapro to Yonkers’ growing film and production landscape further demonstrates our city’s reimagined approach to redevelopment, creating local jobs and economic vitality. We are thankful to Mediapro at Great Point Studios for investing in Yonkers and expanding its footprint here, truly making us Hollywood on Hudson.”
“This groundbreaking is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in the world of media and entertainment,” said Irantzu Diez-Gamboa CEO, MEDIAPRO North America. “We are excited to be part of this expansion that will not only bolster our industry but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of Yonkers and the entire region.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Mediapro and expand our production facility footprint in Yonkers. Mayor Spano and the entire Yonkers community has been incredibly supportive and welcoming as they share in our vision for regional economic growth,” said Robert Halmi, Founder & CEO of Great Point Studios.
Mediapro Studios at Great Point Studios is projected to be complete in the fall of 2024.
