DreamWorks Leases in Carroll Camden Park

BALTIMORE, MD-Hollywood’s DreamWorks SKG finds a temporary, 40,000-sf home at the 500-acre Carroll Camden Industrial Park. The movie production company will occupy the space for six months during the local filming of the movie, “Head of State.” Trammell Crow Co. and the Maryland Film Commission played a role in helping the company find temporary office and production space at the park, which is city-owned and in a state-designated empowerment zone. The financial terms of the lease are not available.

“Typically, when any feature decides to come into Maryland, one of our tasks is to find office and warehouse space,” Maryland Film Commission director Jack Gerbes tells GlobeSt.com. “With the past four shows shot in Maryland, we’ve had good success in finding appropriate space.”

The challenge in finding space is elevated because these companies are seeking short-term leases. Gerbes would not comment specifically on DreamWorks, but did add that while the market for short-term leases is tight, it is not as tight as it has been in the past.
