With construction led by **Turner Construction Company** and financially powered by **Wallace MacDonald Holdings**, this $350 million phase-one build marks the beginning of a cultural and technological transformation. Designed from the ground up to merge cinema, artificial intelligence, volumetric research, and executive-level hospitality, HigherKey Studios is more than a studio - it's a self-contained innovation ecosystem. 6 Purpose-Built LED Volumes Designed for Every Medium HigherKey's facility will house **six distinct LED volume stages**, each engineered for different creative applications: - **Interior scenes and narrative filmmaking** - **Automotive and motion-controlled XR production** - **Commercials, music videos, and branded content** - **Full-scale, in-camera VFX feature film production** Each stage is paired with its own green screen zone and live camera tracking system (Mo-Sys).
