Movie studios and production companies that need space in Chicago to shoot their next show will soon have a new option: the Fields Studios on the Northwest Side. Construction of the $250 million project at a former Marshall Field’s warehouse is underway, and its developer, New York-based Knickpoint Ventures, said today that the studios should open in the first quarter of 2024. The studios, which will include nine sound stages, will eventually employ 600 to 800 people and will improve Chicago’s standing as a destination for movie studies and production companies, said Zain Kolta, founder and managing partner of Knickpoint.
