L.A. Rams Announce $10B Warner Center Development in Woodland Hills

The Los Angeles Rams have been busy with development plans, but not another new stadium. The Kroenke Organization, owner of the NFL franchise, has unveiled a proposal for a 52-acre mixed-use development at the Warner Center in Woodland Hills, including practice space and a permanent headquarters for the Rams.

The Rams Village project would include more than 350,000 square feet of facilities. This includes two grass fields at full size that are already in place, plus another proposed 150,000 square feet for an indoor practice facility, which could seat as many as 2,500 fans. The neighborhood project also calls for retail, office, hotel, entertainment, and residential space.

Additionally, the development would include a permanent headquarters for the Rams. The project would be a part of the already almost 100 acres Kroenke owns in the area, which the investment firm originally acquired in 2022.

A Los Angeles Times report estimated that the development could cost over $10 billion and take a decade to complete.

"As we embark on our tenth season back in Los Angeles, we remain committed to helping shape the future of this great city," Rams owner and chairman E. Stanley Kroenke said in a statement.

"Rams Village at Warner Center will continue to transform Woodland Hills by providing a vibrant gathering place for the community through publicly accessible open spaces, new entertainment venues, a retail village, and residential offerings. This is a tremendous opportunity to develop a dynamic destination and create the Rams permanent headquarters within the City of Los Angeles and we look forward to working with the City to turn this vision into a reality."

The move comes five years after the Rams' new home, SoFi Stadium, opened in Inglewood. The stadium reportedly cost about $5.5 billion and also serves as the home of the Los Angeles Chargers.
