Fantasy Studios Sold for Less Than Half Its Value | San Jose News
Description
A legendary Bay Area music and film icon, Fantasy Studios — birthplace of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Green Day, Santana, and Oscar-winning soundtracks — has just been bought for $9.6 million by East Bay real estate exec Steven Meckfessel, a stunning 64% discount from its 2026 assessed value of $27 million. The 121,000-square-foot complex, nicknamed “The House That Creedence Built,” has hosted generations of creatives since its 1971 opening — even after the studio shut down in 2018, it’s remained a hub for indie filmmakers. With the sale, a new chapter begins for this historic cultural landmark.
