Land Development
Studios, Theaters and Sound Stages
The design and construction of studios, theaters, and sound stages continues unabated in New York City and around the country.
AKRF has an extensive portfolio of planned, designed, and constructed sound stages for television, film, and streaming production; radio and television broadcast rooms; recording studios; theaters, auditoriums, and performing arts spaces; and private theaters.
Our projects employ many acoustical design considerations, such as acoustical separation from adjacent studios and nearby noise sources, low-noise ventilation systems, and careful control of reverberation for purposes of clear soundtrack.
Recent Milestones
Two sound stage projects opened in recent years—Sunset Pier 94 Studios in Manhattan in 2026 and East End Studios in Queens in 2025—while financing closed for Echelon Studios in Brooklyn in 2025.
