History
The first business at the current location of East of Hollywood NY was S&S Machinery, a machine tools distributorship that opened in 1938. In 1997,

First commissioned by Thomas Jefferson and employing 70,000 workers during World War II, the Brooklyn Navy Yard remained dormant, finally sold to New York City by the federal government in 1967 for $24,000,000. New York City reopened the Brooklyn Navy Yard as an industrial park in 1971. 28 years later, David S. Steiner and his son, Douglas C. Steiner began development of what has become New York City's largest television and movie production facility sitting on 20 of the Navy Yard's nearly 300 acres.

Expansion
An expansion of the facility through renovation of a seven-story building in the Navy Yard, was announced by its chairman, Douglas C. Steiner, on February 15, 2007.

In March 2012, Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled five new sound stages (a total of 30500 sqft) at Steiner Studios. The new sound stages all feature two or three wall cycloramas.

Brooklyn College is planning to open a Graduate School of Cinema on Steiner Studios’ production lot in time for the fall 2013 semester. The school is expected to offer five to seven academic degrees, including film production, musical composition and business management. It will be the first public graduate school of film in New York and is thought to be the only film school in the country located on a working film lot. In November 2013, Carnegie Mellon University announced the creation of the Integrative Media Program at Steiner Studios.
