Brothers Alan and Stuart Suna, and their father Harry, opened the first Silvercup Studios location in 1983 on the site of what was originally Silvercup Bread Bakery. Since then, Silvercup Studios has become one of the most sought-after production facilities in New York. With two lots in Long Island City and one in The Bronx, Silvercup Studios touts 23 world-class sound stages, 133,380 square feet of turnkey production office space and 157,400 of support space, including dressing rooms, hair and make-up rooms, scenic shops, and set, prop and wardrobe storage.
What’s more, all three New York City lots offer quick and easy access to Manhattan and the surrounding tri-state area. That means, when you film at Silvercup Studios, you’ll be able to leverage the benefits of an enormous and diverse talent and labor pool. Not to mention endless options for on-location filming throughout the city, plus the state’s generous tax incentives.
In short, Silvercup Studios offers everything and everyone you need for seamless film, television and commercial production. Which is why hundreds of movies and shows have been filmed here—Succession, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Gossip Girl, 30 Rock, Pose, The Devil Wears Prada, When Harry Met Sally, to name just a few.
In 2020, Silvercup Studios was acquired by an affiliate of Hackman Capital Partners, the world’s largest owner and operator of independent film and television studios. The company, along with the Sunas, are proudly carrying forward the studio’s rich legacy and storied history.
