Stan Kroenke, owner of the Los Angeles Rams, is set to expand his Hollywood Park development in Inglewood with the creation of Hollywood Park Studios, a new movie and production facility that will also serve as the international broadcast center for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Construction is expected to begin this summer. During the Olympics, the state-of-the-art facility will host hundreds of broadcasters from around the world. After the Games, it will transition into a permanent production hub for movies, television shows, streaming content, and live broadcasts.
The studio will be part of the broader Hollywood Park development, a massive 300-acre complex anchored by SoFi Stadium, YouTube Theater, and the NFL Media headquarters. The multi-billion-dollar project also includes apartments, retail, offices, theaters, restaurants, and a luxury hotel currently under construction.
According to Jason Gannon, managing director of Hollywood Park, the new studio will strengthen the site’s position as a hub where sports, media, and entertainment converge. The first phase of the project will cover 12 acres, featuring:
- Five soundstages (18,000 sq. ft. each, with two combinable into 36,000 sq. ft.)
- A three-story, 80,000-sq.-ft. office building for production and postproduction
- A dedicated base camp for trucks, trailers, and equipment
- A parking facility for 1,100 vehicles
Future expansion could bring up to 20 stages and 200,000 sq. ft. of office space, depending on demand.
Although film and TV production in Los Angeles has slowed in recent years — with regional soundstage occupancy dropping to 63% in 2024, according to FilmLA — Kroenke’s team believes the Olympics will boost Hollywood Park Studios’ profile as a premier entertainment production destination.
Kroenke, a billionaire sports and real estate mogul, owns a global sports empire that includes the Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids, Colorado Mammoth, and Premier League club Arsenal. His $5 billion SoFi Stadium will also host the Olympic Opening Ceremony (alongside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) and be converted into the largest Olympic swimming venue in history.
Hollywood Park Studios is being designed by architecture firm Gensler, with Clayco as general contractor, Pacific Edge Projects as project manager, and Guggenheim Investments arranging financing.
This expansion underscores Kroenke’s ambition to merge sports, media, and entertainment into a world-class destination, further solidifying Inglewood’s role as a global hub.
