Versatile 2100 sq ft Industrial Studio Space for Rent.
tl;dr
- Space
- A 195 sqm (2,100 sq ft) industrial basement studio for rent in Port Jefferson Station, New York, sitting in the low rise commercial pocket off the Route 112 corridor in Suffolk County. The character is a blank, dressable industrial shell with an installed lighting and camera rig, built for controlled production rather than street facing retail.
- Best For
- Campaign and lookbook photography days, video production and live streamed content including green screen and interview formats, wholesale appointments and buyer previews using the stock room and rails, press day or influencer content days with same day load out, and creative workshops or choreography sessions. Brands book by the day here, with a four day ceiling on any single run.
- Standout Features
- Multiple high definition cameras positioned floor to ceiling with live streaming and recording capability, a Hue colour lighting system plus Martin DJ equipment, and surround sound with wireless microphone hookups and high speed internet. Fitting rooms, garment rack, stock room and counters are already installed, and elevator access with a dedicated parking area means rails and kit move in without a freight booking, a combination vetted by Fashion Week Venues as move in ready for full crew days.
- Location
- Arrival is car led, with a parking area on site and LIRR Port Jefferson station roughly five minutes by road, plus Grumpy Jack's and Hana around five minutes on foot and Ideal Food Basket about six minutes for supply runs. The immediate street is a quiet Suffolk County commercial block with no walk by audience, which makes load in private and unhurried for teams who hire the space for closed set work.
- Availability
- Minimum rental is one day and maximum is four consecutive days, at a published day rate of $720 (approximately EUR 627) with no charge until confirmed. Allow three to four weeks lead time across the New York metro, and longer around the September and February fashion week production windows when studios of this type across the region typically book out first.
- How to Book
- Send a brief with your shoot dates and crew size and we reply within 24h with confirmed availability and a held date. Permit paperwork, on site staffing and fit out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf, so enquire now to request availability and lock your production days.

activation ideas
Campaign and Editorial Photo Shoot
This is the format the space was built to serve, because the installed lighting rig, fitting rooms and garment rack remove the three line items that normally inflate a shoot day budget. At 195 sqm you can run two set builds simultaneously and still keep a styling and steaming zone clear, which in practice means a 6 to 12 person crew works without tripping over rails. Being below grade, treat daylight as supplementary and let the Hue system and your own strobes do the work. Parking and elevator access mean a rail-heavy load-in takes under an hour.
E-commerce and Catalogue Shoot
For high-volume product days this space earns its rate faster than any other format, because the stock room, counters and fitting rooms let you cycle 80 to 200 SKUs through a single lighting setup without repacking between blocks. Brands running e-commerce shoots in studios like this typically set one fixed cyclorama or backdrop station and a second flat-lay bay on the counters, then rotate a two-person styling team against a single photographer. The four day booking ceiling comfortably covers a full season of product. Budget your day count against volume using the budget calculator before you commit.
Video Production and Live Stream
Few spaces at this rate arrive with multiple high-definition cameras already positioned floor to ceiling, surround sound, wireless microphone hookups and high-speed internet as standard, which makes this a genuine production studio rather than a room you have to rig from zero. Green screen work, founder interviews, testimonial capture and choreography-led campaign films are all directly supported. A basement floor is an advantage here: no street noise bleeding into audio, and no daylight shifting mid-take. Plan on a 4 to 15 person crew for a full production day.
Content Creation Day
What makes this work for content days specifically is that a small team can produce a month of assets in one booking without hiring separate studio, equipment and crew room. The Martin DJ equipment and colour-changing Hue system let you shift the mood of a corner in minutes, so a single day yields multiple visual worlds. Bring 6 to 20 people comfortably, including creators shooting in parallel. The kitchen keeps a long day self-sufficient, and CCTV plus the security system means kit can stay in place across consecutive days.
Wholesale Appointments and Buyer Preview
This works adequately for wholesale appointments provided your buyer base is regional rather than international, because the privacy and rail capacity are strong but the location will not pull editors or overseas buyers making a day of appointments. The stock room, garment rack and counters give you a proper collection preview setup, and 195 sqm holds a full season on rails with a seated writing area for two to four buyers at a time. Teams comparing this against city-centre showroom rental options should also browse spaces in New York closer to the Garment District.
Seasonal Showroom (SS/AW)
A credible option for a low-key seasonal showroom aimed at Long Island and Connecticut accounts, particularly with the Bridgeport ferry a five minute drive away. The fitting rooms and garment rack handle sample management without additional build, and the four day maximum lease suits a concentrated appointment block rather than a three week open showroom. Realistically this holds 40 to 60 rails of product with room to move, and works best when appointments are scheduled rather than open-door. Fit out and rail configuration can be scoped through production and build.
Creative Workshop or Masterclass
Strong fit, because the sound system with wireless microphone hookups plus live streaming capability means you can teach 20 to 40 people in the room and broadcast simultaneously without hiring an AV supplier. Counters function as work benches for hands-on sessions, and the kitchen covers refreshments for a half or full day format. Parking on site matters more than it sounds for a paid workshop audience arriving by car, which in this part of Suffolk County is effectively all of them. Set the room in clusters rather than rows to protect sightlines.
Influencer and Creator Event
This suits an invited creator event well because the space already delivers the two things creators need, which are controlled lighting and clean audio, without you shipping in a rig. The Hue system, DJ equipment and surround sound turn the industrial shell into an evening environment quickly, and 195 sqm handles 60 to 90 guests standing with a content corner kept separate from the bar area. Be honest internally that guests will travel, so build the invite around a genuine reason to make the drive rather than expecting spontaneous attendance.
Product Launch and Brand Activation
Workable for a regional product launch or brand activation where the guest list is controlled and the priority is content capture rather than public footfall. The blank industrial shell takes a full set build, and the installed camera positions mean the launch films itself while it happens, which is rare at this price point. Plan for 60 to 100 guests in a standing format, with the stock room doubling as back of house and the fitting rooms as talent holding. Elevator and parking access keep supplier load-in off the street entirely.
Controlled Sample Sale
This functions as a sample sale space for an existing local customer list, not for walk-in trade, since the block generates no passing traffic and the room sits below grade. Where it does deliver is operations: counters for a till line, fitting rooms already installed, a stock room for replenishment, and parking for customers carrying bags to the car. Four days is enough for a focused weekend event. Expect 100 to 150 shoppers in the room at once at the upper end, and staff the fitting rooms accordingly.

the neighbourhood
Photographers, e-commerce sellers, video production crews, dance and fitness instructors, and Long Island direct-to-consumer labels are the working population of Port Jefferson Station, and they are the people you will pass loading kit on any given weekday. The Route 112 corridor and Terryville Road carry the practical end of that ecosystem: print and embroidery shops, sign makers, framing and fabrication trades, martial arts and choreography studios, and small contractors with roll-up doors who rent their yards out as backdrops. Five minutes north, the character changes at Port Jefferson village, where Main Street and East Main hold galleries, independent boutiques, the Theatre Three audience, and the Bridgeport ferry terminal that feeds Connecticut clients straight into the harbour. Stony Brook sits just west and supplies a steady pool of crew, stylists and editors willing to travel for a day rate. In our experience placing brands across the wider metro, this is catalogue and content territory rather than press week territory, and teams who arrive understanding that get more out of it than those comparing it against spaces in New York on prestige alone.
Cost per production day is the honest reason brands choose Suffolk County over Manhattan, Brooklyn or Long Island City. An equivalent equipped studio in Bushwick, Greenpoint, Gowanus or the Garment District will cost several times this rate before you add freight elevator windows, certificate of insurance administration, load-in fees and parking you cannot actually get. Here you get 2,100 square feet, an installed lighting and camera rig, fitting rooms, garment racks, a stock room, a kitchen and your own parking area at a price a growing brand can repeat monthly rather than once a season. The tradeoff is real and should be priced in before you enquire. There is no editorial audience walking past, no buyer dropping in between Manhattan appointments, and international press flying into JFK will not add ninety minutes each way for one viewing. What this location gives you is a full crew, a full rail and a long day with almost no logistical friction. What it does not give you is reach. Teams weighing travel time against savings usually settle the question with our city compare tool.
Arrival is quiet, private and entirely functional, which is precisely what a closed set benefits from. The block sits in a low-rise commercial pocket just off the Route 112 spine, with parking directly on site and elevator access down to the basement floor, so rails and cases move without anyone negotiating a shared lobby. Mornings carry the local rhythm of trade vans, deliveries and school run traffic until around ten, after which the street settles into low, steady commercial movement. Afternoons are calmer, and evening strikes are unproblematic because nobody is competing for kerb space. Grumpy Jack's and Hana handle crew lunch within a few minutes, Ideal Food Basket and Speedway cover the inevitable last-minute run. Being below grade means light is controlled rather than ambient at floor level, so build your plan around the installed rig or budget for production and build. Honest note: this neighbourhood is not suited to high-volume retail, walk-in traffic or any brand needing street visibility, and the four day booking ceiling rules out extended public runs.

frequently asked
Yes, this 2,100 sq ft industrial studio in Port Jefferson Station is available for a short pop-up shop, but you should treat it as a destination event rather than a walk-in retail space. The block sits in a quiet Suffolk County commercial pocket off the Route 112 corridor with no passing press or shopper traffic, so every visitor will be someone you invited or advertised to. The installed counters, fitting rooms, garment rack and stock room mean the retail infrastructure is already in place for a one to four day sample sale or member event. In our experience handling bookings at addresses like this, brands that pair the space with a local email list, paid social within a twenty mile radius and a clear appointment window fill the room comfortably. If your priority is street visibility instead, you will get more from a city location.
who it suits
Brand Scale
This studio suits a brand with a 3 to 25 person team, roughly 1 to 8 years of trading, and a content output schedule that has outgrown rented hotel rooms and borrowed apartments. At 195 sqm on a single basement floor with parking, an elevator, a kitchen, fitting rooms, a stock room and a garment rack already in place, it is built for production days rather than public trading days, which is why it works for DTC labels shooting seasonal lookbooks, wholesale brands recording line sheets and buyer walkthroughs, and creator-led labels running a monthly content cycle. In our experience the profile that gets the most from this space is a team producing four to twelve shoot days a year who currently pays separately for studio, crew room and equipment hire. Where we see mismatches is when a heritage house wants a New York fashion week venue with public address and street presence, or when a solo founder with a two-look capsule books the full footprint and uses a fifth of it. Brands at that early stage should look at smaller spaces in New York instead.
Aesthetic Fit
Industrial, neutral and infinitely dressable is the honest read here, so this space works best for brands whose identity is built in post and on set rather than in the architecture. Streetwear, activewear, denim, swim, footwear, accessories and beauty all sit well against a blank industrial shell with abundant natural light, a Hue lighting system and floor-to-ceiling camera positions that let you build a set and strike it in a day. Green screen work, choreography-led campaign films and interview or testimonial formats are all directly supported. What does not work is a brand that needs inherited atmosphere: couture, fine jewellery and heritage leather goods that rely on period cornicing, gallery ceilings or a prestigious address will read as underdressed here unless you commit real budget to production and build. Equally, minimalist Scandinavian brands wanting soft daylight throughout a raised ground floor will find a basement level restrictive.
Best Use Cases
First choice is campaign and lookbook photography, because the natural light, professional lighting rig, sound and video equipment, fitting rooms and garment rack remove almost every line item a shoot day normally carries. Second is video production and live streaming, supported by multiple high-definition cameras, surround sound, wireless microphone hookups and high-speed internet built into the room. Third is a wholesale appointment and collection preview setup, where the stock room, counters and 200 person capacity let you rail a full season and rotate buyers through privately. Fourth is a press day or influencer content day, with parking and elevator access making load-in and same-day turnaround realistic for teams arriving with rails and kit. Fifth is a creative workshop or masterclass, given the DJ equipment and sound system. Sixth is a controlled sample sale for local and regional customers, though the one to four day booking window keeps that tight. Brands running several of these back to back should scope them together through our activation service.
Budget Signal
This sits in the mid tier for the Long Island and greater New York metro market and represents strong value per square foot compared with equivalent studio hire in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The reason is bundling: a Manhattan content studio at a similar headline rate typically charges separately for lighting, sound, cameras, crew space and parking, while here those are included alongside air conditioning, heating, CCTV, a kitchen and a stock room. Against a hotel event space you gain technical infrastructure and lose central footfall. Against a co-working venue or shared pop-up format you gain exclusive use and production capability but should not expect walk-in retail traffic, since the immediate area is light on commercial neighbours. Brands at this stage typically find the maths works when the space replaces three separate suppliers rather than one, and the budget calculator is the fastest way to test that against your own shoot schedule.
