Media Company TV Labs Takes 7,500 SF in Industry City

Industry City is making a name for itself as a hub for film, TV, and other creative content production. 

TV Labs, a digital platform that helps streaming services and app developers test and deliver smart TV apps, has signed a three-year, 7,500-square-foot lease at Industry City’s Building 6, located at 220 36th Street in Brooklyn. 

The lease was signed Sept. 1, according to a source close to the deal. The asking rent was not disclosed, however the average asking rent for space in Industry City has ranged between $23 and $39 per square foot, Commercial Observer previously reported. 

TV Labs did not work with a broker on this deal, the source noted. Industry City was represented by Matt Stewart, vice president of leasing at Industry City. 

“TV Labs is transforming the way streaming platforms test and deliver content.  Their move to Industry City underscores the campus’s strength as a media and production hub,” Stewart told Commercial Observer via email. “With more than 65 tenants on campus across this sector, Industry City has become a true hub where innovative companies like TV Labs can scale their operations and connect with partners across the creative production landscape.”

TV Labs is joining an extensive roster of media and production companies that have moved into Industry City. Other such tenants include Buck, a creative studio that has produced campaigns for brands including Apple, Nike, and Google; and the meal kit company Hello Fresh, which operates a studio on the campus that produces content including cooking videos and advertising campaigns.
