I-25 & Mesa Del Sol Interchange Albuquerque, NM 87105

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, six fields are established in the 180-acre complex, along with New Mexico United’s practice facility, which held a preseason match in March 2022. The University of New Mexico holds classes for its Film & Digital Arts Department in the Mesa del Sol Aperture Center, which includes a 100-seat theater for film screenings and instruction, as well as a flex space, computer labs, and project rooms designed for creative work and research.
