**Hollywood’s Historic Raleigh Studios Secures $165M Refinancing**
Newmark has successfully arranged a $165 million loan on behalf of Hackman Capital Partners, Affinius Capital, and Raleigh Enterprises to refinance Raleigh Studios, the iconic 314,940-square-foot production campus located in Hollywood, California.
Originally established in 1915, Raleigh Studios holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating film and television production facility in the United States. Today, the campus is fully leased to Netflix, continuing its legacy as a vital hub for entertainment production.
The financing was secured by Newmark’s Co-President of Global Debt & Structured Finance, Jonathan Firestone, working in collaboration with Vice Chairman Blake Thompson and Director Peter Mavredakis. Jordan Roeschlaub, also Co-President of Global Debt & Structured Finance, supported the transaction. Wells Fargo served as the lead lender, with Barclays acting as co-lender.
“Raleigh Studios is more than a real estate asset—it is a pillar of entertainment history and a critical engine for storytelling in Hollywood,” said Firestone. “We are honored to support Hackman Capital Partners, Affinius Capital and Raleigh Enterprises in advancing the future of this legendary facility.”
This refinancing marks a significant milestone in the ongoing development and preservation of one of Hollywood’s most storied landmarks.
