City of Allen Park says Unity Studios defaults on lease contract

By Daniel Duggan

The city of Allen Park has issued a notice which may start the eviction process for film company Unity Studios to be forced out of the Allen Park Studio Complex for not paying its rent.

In a statement released by the city, Mayor Gary Burtka said the studio operation has defaulted on its lease contract for space.

The city issued the studio a “Notice to Quit,� which could lead — if a resolution is not reached — to the eviction of Unity Studios from the complex.

Burtka said Unity has been late in rent and other payments to the city, that it defaulted on the lease contract by failing to file financial documents, such as balance sheets, profit and loss statements and payroll records. Burtka also said Unity did not demonstrate the financial condition of the company.

Unity Studios is majority owned and operated by a group of investors from Los Angeles and Michigan, including Hollywood executive Jimmy Lifton. Originally from Southfield, Lifton has been in the entertainment business for 30 years.

Unity denies that it is behind in rent...

Lots of hype on these studios. It will be interesting to how many will actually come to be.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Some people think there's a saviour out there. Better keep praying.

Shocker.

Although I never could figure out what these people were after.

Apparently, these are all scams. Nothing is materializing from any of these. I drive past their "studio site" every single day. The only "progress" made in the area was a bunch of trees were cut down. Nothing was built like what was promised. There is very little traffic activity there. I didn't even think there was actually anyone there yet. But the big complex is not meant to be. We need to quit believing the film industry can be established here & create jobs here.
