Grumman Studios

What Grumman Studios does

Grumman Studios operates a 30-acre film and television production studio facility in Bethpage, New York (Nassau County, Long Island), providing sound stages, production offices, and production-support services to feature film productions, episodic television series, live televised events, commercial advertisers, and live performance/fashion show clients. The studio markets proximity to Manhattan (45 minutes by car or LIRR), eligibility under the New York State Empire State Film Production Tax Credit Program as a Qualified Production Facility, and a high-profile client roster that includes productions for Sony/Marvel, NBCUniversal live events (The Sound of Music Live!, Peter Pan Live!, The Wiz Live!), Netflix (The Get Down, Julie's Greenroom), Warner Bros. (Person of Interest), and major brands (BMW, Sony, L'Oreal, IKEA), plus live-performance clients such as Cirque du Soleil and Kanye West.

The facility comprises approximately 400,000 square feet of total infrastructure on the historic former Grumman Corporation site (known as the birthplace of the Apollo Lunar Module). Core production assets include eight sound stages totaling approximately 155,000 square feet, ranging from 8,036 to 38,841 square feet with stage heights of 23 to 38 feet. Stages are equipped with heavy load-bearing trusses, grid systems and catwalks, electrical infrastructure supporting 400 to 7,200 amps, and interconnecting doors between adjacent stages for combined large-set builds; Stage 6 includes a 100 ft. x 100 ft. two-wall cyclorama. The campus supports these stages with over 250,000 square feet of ancillary space — mill shops, hair and make-up rooms, wardrobe rooms, prop storage, production offices, and rehearsal halls — plus acres of outdoor space for set construction, exterior filming, and parking.

The business runs as a B2B studio-facility rental on a quote-based, per-project pricing model with no published rates. Revenue derives from two streams: studio facility rental (sound stages, offices, storage, outdoor space) and production support services (mill shop work, dressing-wardrobe facilities, prop storage). All bookings are made by phone or a website contact form. The firm is privately held with a 1-10 employee team per firmographic data, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent entity, no M&A activity, and operations limited to the New York / Long Island region.

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Perry Studios: Vertically integrated 330-acre production campus in Atlanta, Georgia benefiting from Georgia's 30% transferable film tax credit. Comparable as a large-scale studio campus operator; competes for US production work but is anchored in a different (and higher-incentive) state.
• Sunset Las Palmas Studios: Large Hollywood studio complex operated by Hudson Pacific Properties, hosting streaming and feature productions in Los Angeles. Comparable as a major multi-stage production facility but located on the West Coast rather than the East Coast.
• Pinewood Group: Owner-operator of Pinewood Studios (UK) and Shepperton Studios with global film and TV production infrastructure. Comparable as a large established stage operator and industry incumbent, but UK-anchored rather than East Coast US-focused.
• Warner Bros. Discovery Studios: Owns and operates major studio facilities including Warner Bros. Burbank and the company's New York offices/production facilities. Comparable as a major incumbent with in-house production infrastructure that sometimes competes with or partners with independent facilities like Grumman.

Direct peers

• Steiner Studios: Operates the largest purpose-built film and TV studio complex at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Directly comparable to Grumman as a NYC-metro, large-scale soundstage and production-support facility competing for the same feature film, episodic, and commercial productions under the NY tax-credit umbrella.
• Broadway Stages: Multi-site Brooklyn-based soundstage and production-support operator with stages in Greenpoint, Bushwick, and Sunset Park. Comparable as a fast-growing NYC-area competitor expanding stage capacity and competing for the same feature/TV/commercial work.
• Kaufman Astoria Studios: Historic Queens studio complex originally built in the 1920s that has hosted Sesame Street, NBC productions, and major features. Comparable as an established NYC-metro soundstage operator competing for the same pool of NY tax-credit productions.
• Silvercup Studios: Long Island City, Queens studio complex (originally built on the former Silvercup bread factory site) with multiple sound stages and a long-standing track record hosting HBO series, feature films, and commercials. Closely comparable NYC-area competitor with similar tax-credit access and large-stage infrastructure.

Regional players

• EUE Screen Gems Studios: Operates major stages in Atlanta and Wilmington (EUE/Screen Gems), historically a key East Coast competitor. Comparable in scale and stage offerings but primarily serves the Southeastern US production market under Georgia/North Carolina incentive regimes.
• Caesars Atlantic City Studios: Atlantic City-based stage operator leveraging New Jersey's Film Tax Credit program. Comparable as a regional East Coast studio facility competing for productions that could otherwise go to Grumman; serves a different state incentive regime within driving distance of NYC.
