Rooftop — Manhattan Skyline Location

1,600 square feet of open-air possibility at Hudson Yards Loft Studios.

Make the city part of your production. Shoot fashion, portraits, music videos and branded content against views of the Empire State Building, the New Yorker and the surrounding Manhattan skyline—from natural daylight to dusk and illuminated night scenes.

Plan your rooftop shoot

The rooftop is an outdoor shooting space, separate from our two indoor studios. Expect open-air sound conditions, including wind and city noise. Confirm the current views, shooting platforms, rooftop load-in route and weather arrangements for your production.

Pair with Loft 6

Combine the rooftop with Loft 6 for distinctive interiors and an indoor base alongside your skyline shoot. Ask about availability and scheduling for both spaces.
