Studio City Toronto Inc.

In 2018, R.E. Millward+Associates was retained by Studio City Toronto Inc. to assist with the planning approvals for the development of three new sound stages used for film andtelevision production purposes in the municipally recognized creative industries cluster within the Port Lands.

The development at 945 Lake Shore Boulevard East responds to the planning policy framework and existing context as it complements the existing studio facility on the adjacent 915 Lake Shore Boulevard East and is similar to nearby film studio uses. Further, the project involved replicating the former “JumboStage” located at 75 Commissioners Street. The well-utilized and iconic Jumbo Stage was demolished to accommodate the Don River realignment and on-going Port Lands Flood Proofing project.  The structure was doubled in size to house 3 studios with associated staff facilities. The construction was very cost-effective using a bold graphic pattern over a series of simple pre-engineered steel sheds.

This project was completed in consultation with a variety of stakeholders including CreateTO, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Waterfront Toronto, and the City of Toronto.
