May 13, 2025 – Hollywood Park, the largest urban mixed-use development under construction in the Western United States being built by Los Angeles Rams Owner/Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke, will develop a state-of-the-art movie studio and production facility as part of the 300-acre mixed-use destination in Inglewood, California, it was announced today.
Hollywood Park Studios (HPS) will initially serve as the host site of the International Broadcast Center (IBC) for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28), which will house hundreds of media rights holders from around the world who have acquired the exclusive rights to distribute the coverage of the Games. The IBC will offer broadcasters ample space for offices, studios and control rooms, as well as other services, as they work around the clock to deliver seamless broadcast and digital coverage to the world when this historic event comes to Los Angeles. Following the Games in 2028, HPS will be available for use for studio production and operations.
HPS is part of Hollywood Park's master development plan, focusing on media, entertainment, and technology (MET), anchored by SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, and the NFL Media office building. All MET facilities, including HPS, have on campus access to retail stores, restaurants, and a hotel.
"The vision for Hollywood Park has always been to build a city within a city combining media, entertainment and technology that will transform the greater Los Angeles area," said Los Angeles Rams Chairman/Owner E. Stanley Kroenke. "We are thrilled to expand the role we will play in the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games by hosting the International Broadcast Center and the global media outlets who will call it home during that summer. Beyond 2028, Hollywood Park Studios will be open to welcome a new industry to our live, work, play destination and bring a little bit of Hollywood to Hollywood Park."
The IBC is the latest element of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games which will take place at Hollywood Park. It was previously announced that SoFi Stadium (The Stadium in Inglewood) will be converted into the largest Olympic Swimming venue in history during the Olympic Games and will host the Olympic Opening Ceremony together with the LA Memorial Coliseum, as well as the Opening Ceremony for LA's first ever Paralympic Games in 2028.
"LA28 is proud to be the inaugural tenant of this new state-of-the-art studio in the heart of Inglewood, a key Venue City for the 2028 Games," said LA28 Chief Executive Officer Reynold Hoover. "The International Broadcast Center will serve as one of our first fully operational facilities for the Games, capturing every inspiring moment of the LA28 Games. We're excited to collaborate with our valued partners at Hollywood Park, the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS), International Olympic Committee (IOC), and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to create a world-class broadcast hub that will showcase the best of Los Angeles to billions of viewers."
The first phase of Hollywood Park Studios will occupy 12 acres and will consist of five sound stages, each 18,000 square feet, two of which open to a single 36,000 square foot stage. In addition, HPS will have a three-story 80,000 square foot office building to support stage, production, and post-production activities. HPS will have a dedicated open base camp area, and a parking structure that can accommodate 1,100 cars. In addition, the ground level of the garage features a 20' high bay area to accommodate sixty trailers with power to support movie production activities. Finally, HPS will have mill facilities and will provide full equipment rental services.
The Hollywood Park campus provides for additional phased development of up to 20 build-to-suit stages and an additional 200,000 square feet of related office space with additional structured parking. The first phase and future development will be connected to the campus-wide fiber ring and power centers, delivering the highest level of service to ensure technology scaling, including current and future AI applications.
Global Architecture and Design Firm Gensler spearheaded the design for HPS, Clayco will serve as the general contractor, and Pacific Edge as project manager, with financing arranged by Guggenheim Investments. Construction will begin later this month.
