BIG's Wildflower Production Studio has received its building permit from the Department of Buildings, indicating that the project's construction will now commence. In late 2019, American actor, producer, and director Robert De Niro's Wildflower Development Group and BIG revealed the first images of their 650,000 square foot (approx. 60,400 sqm) production studio design proposal, located in the Astoria neighborhood of northwest Queens, New York. Once complete, the project is set to become the first vertical commercial film, television, and creative studio in the world.
