Exclusive: Major Ontario film, TV production studio in the works
A giant film studio comprising six studio soundstages over 150,000 square feet is planned for Hamilton, Ontario, an hour from a booming Toronto film and TV production sector and the U.S. border.
ASG, through its affiliate Hamilton Studios Ltd., and the city of Hamilton have signed a memorandum of understanding that includes the purchase the city-owned Barton-Tiffany lands, on around 15 acres, for the studio development to include office buildings, retail space and two residential buildings. Plans for the proposed Hamilton Studio District development will be unveiled in Hamilton on Tuesday at a press conference to be attended by city mayor Fred Eisenberger, local city councillor Jason Farr and ASG partners Jeff Anders, Mike Bruce, Robbie David and Mark Sakomoto.
ASG partner Mike Bruce in a statement said, “Hamilton is the perfect place for a production hub in the west-end greater Toronto and Hamilton area because of its proximity to diverse filming locations, thriving arts and culture workforce, limited traffic congestion, supply of industrial buildings ripe for conversion into lower cost studio space, and because productions that film there qualify for additional provincial tax credits.
