Hans Zimmer, Working Title Chairs Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner Buy Historic Maida Vale Studios
variety.comNaman Ramachandran The historic Maida Vale Studios in London has been sold by the BBC to a four-way partnership between Working Title chairs Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and his business partner Steven Kofsky.
The partnership has multi-million pound refurbishment plans to upgrade the studio’s facilities. The original facade of the building will be maintained and there will also be the creation of a not-for-profit educational facility, and a long-term commitment to providing local jobs, innovation and investment.
Maida Vale Studios was bought by the BBC in 1933 and David Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Dusty Springfield have recorded in the building.
In 2018 the BBC decided to move its music studios and performing groups from its Maida Vale location to a new, purpose-built recording and studio space in Stratford’s cultural quarter of East Bank, residing in East London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
