The Ealing Studios redevelopment, a multi-million pound project at the London film production venue which made films such as Bridget Jones, Shaun of the Dead and Last Night in Soho, will be produced by Glencar
Glencar has announced that it will undertake the Ealing Studios redevelopment, due to arrive in Summer 2024.
The comprehensive makeover will transform the studios, which has been making films since 1902, into one of ‘the most advanced studios in the world’.
Supporting actors in the production include Pella Real Estate Partners and Christopher Smith Associates.
The West London studios are some of the oldest in the world and have made movies such as Bridget Jones, St. Trinians’ and The Theory of Everything.
Sustainability and heritage have been balanced in the studio’s design
The works will see the installation of a new 14,000-sq-ft stage (1300 sq m), which will take 18 months to build, as well as new workshops, additional office space, a new entrance reception, security, and site hub which will serve as the new face of Ealing Studios.
The new white Ibstock Engobe brick building has been designed to honour the distinctive Art Deco aesthetic of the original 1930’s Grade II listed stages that still exist at the studio.
The studios also want to play their part in preserving the planet, as the development will aim to make Ealing Studios the first Net Zero Carbon stage in the UK and will be built to BREEAM Outstanding certification.
The Easling Studio redevelopment project is a star feature of Glencar’s London division
Glencar managing director London and South Roy Jones said: “We are seeing exponential growth in the requirements coming through for new TV/Film/Streaming studio production space and with our extensive knowledge and understanding of that sector, Glencar is responding to that need.
“We are naturally delighted to have been instructed to undertake the redevelopment of such an iconic and famous venue. The works will be transformational and will turn the venue into one of most advanced and sustainable studios in the industry.
“This instruction comes quickly after we recently secured the refurbishment works at Soho Studios. Our newly established London division will be delivering these projects as we continue to expand our offering in this growing sector.”
