Hollywood Park officials announced plans Tuesday to construct a movie studio and production facility at the mixed-used development in the shadow of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with the facility expected to house the International Broadcast Center for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“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,” Los Angeles Rams Chairman/Owner and Hollywood Park developer E. Stanley Kroenke said in a statement. “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 initial phase of the Hollywood Park Studios project will cover 12 acres and include five 18,000-square-foot sound stages, two of which will be able to open into a single 36,000-square-foot space. It will also include a three-story, 80,000-square-foot office building, along with an 1,100-vehicle parking structure that will include a 20-foot-high bay on the ground level to accommodate up to 60 trailers to support movie production.
“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,” LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said in a statement. “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, International Olympic Committee, and International Paralympic Committee to create a world-class broadcast hub that will showcase the best of Los Angeles to billions of viewers.”
The project could ultimately include up to 20 stages and another 200,000 square feet of office space.
