Netflix is already in the construction phase at Fort Monmouth, and the latest public update says the next phase of construction is set to start next week after site work finished. A June 2026 report also says Phase 1-B is already partly underway, with earlier project activity beginning in May 2025.

Timing

  • The project began with a multi-year construction kickoff in May 2025.
  • By late June 2026, the site had completed preliminary grading and demolition, and vertical construction for the next phase was about to begin.
  • Earlier reporting also described Netflix as already building on the former base in spring 2026.

What that means

If you mean β€œwhen will construction actually start,” the best answer is: it already has, and the next major construction push was reported to begin in late June or early July 2026. If you mean when the full studio will be finished, the current timeline points to 2027 for the first phase and 2028 for broader buildout.

I can also turn this into a cleaner one-paragraph blurb for posting if that helps.
