Cinelease Studios–Caven Point, or Caven Point Studio, is a film studio/soundstage complex in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Background
The building, located in the Greenville section of the city, had earlier been a 'last mile' warehouse-distribution center. It is east of Garfield Avenue and west of the Hudson County Extension of the New Jersey Turnpike at the southern end of the Canal Crossing redevelopment area.
In September 2019 the Criterion Group announced would convert the warehouse complex into the what would be state's largest film studio named Caven Point Studio. In 2020, Criterion Group partnered with One Stop Properties to purchase two nearby warehouse properties to create three soundstages and an offsite “support space” called "Fold and Hold".
The project received tax credits and other incentives offered by the state through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission
The complex opened in August 2021. It has three soundstages totaling 112,400 square feet (10,440 m2) that are 40 feet (12 m) high to the grid and 50 feet (15 m) to the ceiling. In August 2023 it was announced that the complex would further expand.
