A modern adaptive reuse renovation of a complex of adjacent industrial buildings totaling 180,000 sq ft. The oldest sections were constructed in Olde Kensington in the early 1900s as a lumber facility. We have multiple spaces / sets that can be used for filming. During the past year we have hosted numerous shoots ranging from big NYC and LA production companies, to small local filmmakers. The building is named after former occupant the Billy Penn Corporation, operator of an an aluminum facility in Olde Kensington for many years. ​ The property has been renovated into into modern business and retail spaces for lease as well as event and production spaces. Our building features a stunning lobby with original old growth yellow pine beams, and a one of a kind 3 story atrium.

I would absolutely return to this location in a heart-beat if another shoot arose in the Philadelphia area. Joe and the team at Billy Penn was fantastic and more accommodating than many other locations I've used. They were very communicative, helpful, and responsive to any and all requests and needs we had on-hand, and went out of their way to make the experience as pleasant and positive as possible. Moreover, the location itself was clean, gorgeous, provided all power, internet, AC/Heat, and privacy we needed, and is within close distance to a handful of restaurants and stores for food and supply runs. There was an onsite cafe, which was fantastic for quick coffee runs, and onsite community of businesses in the building that came in handy when we were missing a few pieces of equipment for our shoot (one of the businesses was a video rental house). Would absolutely recommend using this location, and look forward to using the location again for future shoots in the Philadelphia area.
