777 Kipling Avenue is the principal street address of a 30 acres (0.12 km²) industrial property in Etobicoke, a former city now part of Toronto, Ontario.^[1] For many decades Consumers Glass operated a large glass factory on the property. In December 2009 Cinespace Studios, a large film development company acquired the site, and announced plans to convert it to a park of film studios.

Site of a large glass factory

Consumers Glass is being held liable for industrial pollution on the site.

Site of a film studio complex

A month after the purchase a three-alarm fire struck the site, on January 15, 2010.^[2] The fire was attributed to renovations associated with the purchase.

In 2013 the Toronto Star reported that the opening of the studio complex had helped Toronto and Ontario reclaim first place in Canadian film and television production, from Vancouver and British Columbia.^[3] The largest film production at the studio that year was the popular science fiction film Pacific Rim.

During the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival Mayor of Toronto John Tory joined with Cinespace officials to announce plans to build two very large new studios n the site, with a combined footprint of 50,000 square feet (4,600 m²).^[4]^[5]^[6] One of the large studios will be permanently devoted to underwater filming.
