Production Central Studio

Production Central Studio is a plan to build a film and television production studio complex in South Florida. This plan reduces the initial capital requirement by 50-75% over similar proposed projects. We project a $2.4 million dollars gross profit by the end of the second year of operation.

Some highlights of the plan are:

The 30 acre property and existing 160,000 sq. ft building was appraised in 1987 for $15 million. It can be purchased for approximately $5 million.

KPMG conducted a feasibility study for the city of Miami. They determined that it would take 50 million dollars to build four sound stages, would be profitable, and recommended to proceed. In comparison, this plan will consist of five sound stages at a cost of $10 million.

A recent study has determined that Dade County is a BILLION dollar media industry. This did NOT include economic multipliers, companies without headquarters here, nor the rest of South Florida, Broward & Palm Beach counties.

South Florida is the 3rd largest market for film & television production in the USA, after Los Angeles and New York. While many studio complexes operate in both these and many smaller markets, no such facilities currently exist in south Florida.

There is a severe lack of available studio space in North America and the few in this area are unsuitable for major production.
