We are pleased to showcase Boundary Studios, our original Bridge Studios facility and the first studio in Vancouver British Columbia.

1-604-482-2000

The Bridge Studios, Vancouver’s first dedicated studio facility, is located on 15 acres of land on what was formerly part of the Dominion Bridge bridge-building plant. In 1987, the site was renovated to create a permanent studio facility to ensure British Columbia had a stable base of operations for film production.

In late 2026, one additional 10,000 sf stage will open with ample mill shops and support spaces which will make a total of 14 world class sound stages.

Any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.
