The studio was designed by architect firm BOTO Design Inc, of Santa Monica, California, and was completed in 1988. It contains a recording and stage complex, and covers 55,000 sq ft.

Warner Bros. helped to pay for the recording studio built in Chanhassen, a $10 million world-class recording facility that also was a soundstage. When Prince fell out with Warner Bros., Warner executives insisted on a return on their investment, which resulted in several major artists recording their albums at Paisley Park Studios, at times even against Prince’s wishes.
