The New Movie Studious in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, is benefiting the neighborhood financially, and will bring a new Chasunah and Bar Mitzvah halls and a large 200-seat cafe.

The new $118 million Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard overlooks the East River at the Brooklyn waterfront.

The 280,000-square-foot studio with its five stages will not even be finished until the winter but it is 90 percent complete. Still under construction are a 100-seat screening room, a 200-seat cafe and Stage Six, a third-floor special-events space for wrap parties, weddings and Bar Mitzvahs that can accommodate 500 people. An open-air fourth-floor rooftop space with an enclosed glass pavilion is also planned.

And the neighbors are benefiting Ernie Rodriquez, the owner of Bear Security Locksmiths, at 24th Street and Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn, said he had already benefited from Steiner's presence. Since October, his 25-year-old business has supplied more than 100 locks, 150 cylinders and thousands of keys to Steiner to supplement its security system.

Mr. Steiner also wants to expand, "We aren't done," he said. "We want to build additional stages and support buildings."
