Pier 94

The long-blighted Pier 94, which once berthed Cunard Line’s 1,000-foot ocean liners, is being transformed by Blackstone and Vornado into Manhattan’s first purpose-built studio. The 266,000 square foot Sunset Pier 94 will have six soundstages along with open riverfront areas and other community amenities when it is completed at the end of 2025. Several stages will be equipped with technological infrastructure capable of handling virtual production. The project will create more than 1,300 construction jobs and 400 permanent jobs, contributing $6.4 billion to the local economy over the next 30 years.
