For three decades, PIER59 Studios has been a constant presence behind some of the world’s most recognizable images, performances, and cultural moments.
Throughout 2026, we celebrate 30 years of creative evolution.
Film → Digital → Motion → Virtual → AI
Founded in 1995 on Manhattan’s Chelsea waterfront, PIER59 Studios has never stood still. As creative industries transformed, technologically, culturally, and economically, we evolved in step.
Each chapter brought new tools.
Each shift demanded new thinking.
Each era raised the bar.
Today, PIER59 stands as a fully integrated creative campus, where production, technology, and hospitality converge to support modern workflows at the highest level.
This anniversary is not a look back.
It’s a statement of intent.
Over 110,000 square feet of customizable space of eleven versatile, column-free, options, including stunning natural daylight and customizable blackout studios.
