$275 Million Dollar Toronto Film & Media Complex
December, 2005.

Construction is cleared to begin the $275 million dollar project for the construction of a 1.2 million-square-foot film and media complex in Toronto.

The megastudio will be developed on land owned by the Toronto Economic Development Corporation and will begin next summer (2006).

The media studio has been dubbed the “filmport” because it is being built in Toronto's port area.

The first phase of Filmport will include six soundstages, with a 45,000-square-foot stage and production support facilities totaling 232,000 square feet.

Filmport is expected to house more than a dozen soundstages totaling 550,000 square feet of production space.
