Netflix Transforms Fort Monmouth into East Coast Production Powerhouse here in New Jersey

Netflix is revitalizing the former Fort Monmouth U.S. Army base in Monmouth County, New Jersey, into a state-of-the-art East Coast production hub. This ambitious $900 million project, Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth, is set to span 292 acres and is expected to open in phases, with the first phase slated for completion in 2027 and the second in 2028.

A Hub of Creativity and Innovation

The facility will feature 12 advanced soundstages totaling nearly 500,000 square feet, along with a backlot, post-production suites, offices, and community amenities. Plans also include a hotel, visitor attractions, and retail spaces, aiming to create a vibrant ecosystem for the entertainment industry.

Economic Impact and Job Creation

Netflix's investment is poised to significantly boost the local economy. The project is expected to generate approximately 3,500 construction jobs and 1,400 permanent positions upon completion. These roles will span various sectors, including set design, lighting, post-production, and administrative support.

Community and Cultural Benefits

Local officials have expressed enthusiasm about the project's potential to revitalize the area. Oceanport Mayor Thomas Tvrdik described the development as a "very sunny day" for the community, highlighting the positive impact on local businesses and the broader region.

Looking Ahead

As demolition progresses and construction begins, Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth is set to become a cornerstone of New Jersey's film and television production landscape. The project not only promises to bring world-class facilities to the state but also underscores Netflix's commitment to expanding its production capabilities on the East Coast.
