Steiner Studios, which already leases 16 acres of space at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, would more than double its presence if a plan to convert the deserted Naval Hospital at the southeast corner of the Yard to a back lot and media campus comes to fruition. The Hospital (which we got to tour last month, hence the pics on the jump) is home to several historic buildings that would be restored under the plan: In addition to the hospital building (top), there’s also the Surgeon’s House as well as the morgue and several other smaller structures. (Also check out Alexis Robie‘s interior photos.) While the article definitely gives the impression that Steiner will be in the driver’s seat on the project, it also says that other top production companies like Imagine Filims and Warner Bros. “could compete for control of the back lot.” Steiner is also in the process of spending $50 million to convert the 280,000-square-foot building at Washington and Flushing Avenues (see photo on jump) in to pre- and post-production space.
