New Jersey officials on Tuesday held a groundbreaking ceremony at the future site of 1888 Studios<\/a>, a massive film and television production campus planned for Bayonne.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Paramount Pictures, 1888 Studios will be a 1.6-million-square-foot development containing 23 sound stages in Hudson County less than 30 minutes from Manhattan.<\/p>\n

1888 Studios is designed to place the Garden State at the forefront of the global entertainment industry, officials said at the ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncredible morning breaking ground on 1888 Studios in Bayonne. Once completed, the 58-acre campus will be the largest film and TV facility in the Northeast,\u201d Murphy said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

Paramount recently signed a 10-year lease agreement<\/a> with 1888 Studios, committing to establishing a major production hub in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Why is the studio called 1888?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the year Thomas Edison<\/a> filed a preliminary patent for an early motion picture camera.<\/p>\n

1888 Studios is designed to attract industry leaders, generating significant revenue and cementing New Jersey\u2019s reputation in film and TV production, Murphy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the birthplace of the motion picture industry, we couldn\u2019t be more excited to celebrate the 1888 Studios in Bayonne \u2013 a project that represents another chapter in world-class film and television production here in the Garden State,\u201d Murphy said.<\/p>\n

Once completed, 1888 Studios is expected to join at least two other major studio projects planned for New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Other projects include Netflix Studios\u2019 multi-phase, billion-dollar East Coast production hub with several sound stages in Fort Monmouth and Lionsgate Newark Studios.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s Fort Monmouth studio<\/a> has been years in the making, requiring approvals from officials in Oceanport and Eatontown. The 289-acre complex will span both boroughs.<\/p>\n

Lionsgate Newark Studios<\/a>, an anchor project with multiple sound stages and production facilities, is also in the works.<\/p>\n

The Lionsgate project is a $125 million film and television studio planned for the former site of the Seth Boyden Court public housing complex in Newark\u2019s industrial South Ward.<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority announced in 2022 that it had granted Lionsgate \u201cstudio partner\u201d status under the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act<\/a>, allowing the company to seek tax credits.<\/p>\n
