ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) announced in 2021 that it intended to sell the facility as part of a corporate effort to focus on content. In November 2021, ViacomCBS announced that the studio would be sold to Hackman Capital Partners and Square Mile Capital Management for $1.85 billion. This would leave the Paramount Pictures lot as the only studio facilities in Los Angeles owned by the company. Backlot Radford Studio Center has three backlot areas. The first is the New York Street. During the shooting of Seinfeld in the mid-1990s, a New York Street was built to facilitate the filming of exterior shots. The second area is the Central Park area. The area features grass, trees, paths, and can also be filled with water to create a pond or swamp. The third area is the Residential Street. Actually made up of two streets, this area features a number of houses which can be used for a variety of productions.
