EDC Reveals Plans: $136M investment in Bush Terminal
Film studios, Pier 6 rehab, garment manufacturing hub
A new film and TV studio and a renovation of the deteriorated Pier 6 are in the works for the North Campus of Bush Terminal, a representative of the city’s Economic Development Corp. said at a Zoom meeting of Community Board 7 on Monday.
Julie Stein, senior vice president of EDC, gave the presentation on the new developments: the lease to Eastern Effects, which already owns a sound stage facility in Gowanus, for the film and television studio, and the Pier 6 project.
The pier and the film and TV studio will both be part of the Bush Terminal’s Made in NY Campus, described as “the city’s $136 million investment to create a center for fashion, film, and television in Sunset Park’s Bush Terminal,”
