A movie studio on the outskirts of Niverville, Man., is up for sale, with the current owner open to the opportunity of a partnership. Keller Williams has listed Jette Studios’ 25,000-square-foot building for $9.5 million. According to the listing, the brand-new facility can serve as a film studio, sound stage, storage space, or processing facility. The building features a 40-foot clear-span ceiling, radiant heat concrete floors and precast concrete walls. The listing also mentions the facility can be purchased outright; however, there is also the option to partner with the existing owner to finish launching the film studio. “It is a request for a couple of things. One is that [the owner] is looking for a partner to be able to come alongside to help move this studio forward,” explained Niverville Mayor Myron Dyck. “Part of the ad is also to find someone that might want to run it as a studio, perhaps without [the current owner] as a partner.” Dyck said Jette Studios originally partnered with a U.S.-based company to provide a virtual production large-format LED screen wall. However, the company has since rescinded the partnership. The mayor added Jette Studios has also had to deal with proposed U.S. tariffs on the film industry and the end to WestJet’s direct flights between Winnipeg and Los Angeles. Despite these setbacks, Dyck is hopeful for the future of the Niverville facility. “I have every reason to believe that it will operate as it’s been intended to operate, and I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen,” he said. CTV News previously reported about the opening of Jette Studios in April 2025. At the time, owner Juliette Hagopian said she’d been working on the project for five years and that the studio would be able to accommodate all types of movie productions. Jette Studios’ website currently says its advanced LED virtual production system will be ready for fall 2026. CTV News has reached out to Jette Studios for more information.
