I-25 & Mesa Del Sol Interchange Albuquerque, NM

Located in Albuquerque's southeast corner, Mesa del Sol is a 16,000-acre mixed-use, master-planned community experiencing commercial and residential growth and development progress. Situated south of the Albuquerque Sunport, Mesa del Sol is home to Netflix ABQ Studios, the University of New Mexico’s Film & Digital Arts Department, the Isleta Amphitheater, and the New Mexico United multi-sport facilities. Netflix, which purchased the former Albuquerque Studios in 2018, plans to expand its existing campus by an additional 300 acres, establishing its North American headquarters in Albuquerque as one of the largest high-tech and sustainable film production facilities globally. This expansion is projected to create approximately 1,000 new jobs and more than double production capacity with the addition of 10 new sound stages to supplement the existing 8 stages. New Mexico United has a long-term plan for a 32-field multi-sport facility. Currently, the 180-acre complex includes six established fields and New Mexico United’s practice facility. The University of New Mexico holds classes for its Film & Digital Arts Department in the Mesa del Sol Aperture Center, which houses a 100-seat theatre for film screenings and instruction, as well as a flex space, computer labs, and project rooms designed for faculty and students.
