When the Olympics come to Los Angeles in 2028, millions of people, and thousands of businesses will arrive to be part of the action. From global brands and broadcasters to sports agencies and production teams, many will need a local base of operations. Finding short-term office space in L.A. may sound simple, but demand is already starting to heat up in the city’s most desirable areas.

Whether you need a private suite for your team or a flexible, ready-to-use office for a few months, planning early will save you time, stress, and money.

Here’s how companies can prepare to secure short-term workspace for the world’s biggest event.

Why the Olympics Will Drive Demand for Short-Term Offices

Every Olympic Games transforms its host city, and Los Angeles will be no exception. With events spread across the Westside, Downtown, and the Valley, temporary office demand will spike in multiple submarkets. International organizations, sponsors, and service providers will all compete for space near key venues.

 Key drivers of demand include:

• Broadcasting and media hubs: Global networks and streaming platforms will need editing and production offices close to the action.
• Event logistics and hospitality firms: Many will set up temporary headquarters to manage on-the-ground operations.
• Corporate partners and sponsors: Expect short-term leases from brands seeking proximity to venues and clients.
• Creative agencies and marketing teams: Campaigns will be managed locally with teams rotating through the city.

The Best Los Angeles Areas for Temporary Offices

L.A. is a big city, and proximity to Olympic venues will matter. Choosing the right submarket depends on your type of work, your team’s size, and your need for access to transportation, hotels, or production facilities.

 Top areas for short-term workspace:

• Santa Monica: Coastal, walkable, and close to beach volleyball and other events. High demand for media, PR, and tech companies.
• Culver City: Central access to both the Westside and Downtown with modern offices and creative flex space.
• Downtown L.A.: Perfect for logistics, sponsors, and corporate partners seeking a recognizable address and transit access.
• El Segundo and Playa Vista: Excellent for production companies and sports media teams needing proximity to LAX and studio campuses.
• Burbank: Ideal for broadcasters and entertainment firms operating near studios.

What Counts as a “Short-Term” Office Lease?

Traditional office leases can run three to five years , but short-term office solutions are far more flexible. For companies involved in the 2028 Games, a three-month to one-year term is typical. These spaces can be fully furnished, serviced, and ready to occupy within days.

 Short-term options include:

• Flexible managed offices: Move-in ready private offices with all-inclusive pricing and short contracts.
• Subleases: Companies exiting early often sublet furnished suites for six to twelve months.
• Coworking or executive suites: Ideal for individuals or small teams needing instant access.
• Custom temporary spaces: For larger groups, landlords may offer build-outs on flexible terms.

How to Budget for Short-Term Office Space

Short-term doesn’t always mean cheap, especially during an event as large as the Olympics. Rents may rise temporarily in high-demand areas, but knowing what to expect helps you plan strategically. Most flexible offices include furnishings, utilities, Wi-Fi, and maintenance, making total costs predictable.

Typical short-term pricing ranges in West L.A. (2025 estimates):

• 1–2 person private office: $1,200–$1,800/month
• Team office for 5–10 people: $3,000–$6,000/month
• Larger furnished suite (20+ people): $8,000–$15,000/month
• Coworking desk or shared space: $300–$500/month

 Additional costs to consider:

• Parking (typically $150–$300 per stall/month)
• Temporary signage or branding
• Insurance, cleaning, or security needs
• Move-in/out logistics

Timing: When to Start Looking

It may seem early to think about office space for 2028, but smart companies plan ahead. As Los Angeles ramps up for the Games, the most desirable properties, especially near key venues, will go first. Starting early means you can compare submarkets, negotiate better terms, and reserve move-in flexibility.

 Recommended timeline:

• 2025–2026: Research and identify likely office needs and preferred neighborhoods.
• 2026–2027: Tour properties and explore short-term options with your broker.
• Early 2028: Finalize the lease or license agreement to lock in rates and availability.
• Post-Games: Reassess whether to extend or relocate as long-term demand shifts.

Benefits of Working with a Tenant Rep Broker

The Olympics will bring an unprecedented wave of demand to Los Angeles, and the right tenant representative can be your competitive edge. A tenant rep works exclusively for you, not the landlord, to find, negotiate, and secure the right space for your team’s short-term goals.

What a tenant rep broker can help you do:

• Identify off-market or flexible opportunities before they’re widely advertised.
• Negotiate short-term or license agreements that match your exact timeline.
• Coordinate tours, proposals, and lease reviews across multiple landlords.
• Connect you with furniture vendors, telecom providers, and relocation resources.
• Save time by filtering only properties that meet your operational needs.

For companies unfamiliar with the Los Angeles office market, having local representation ensures no detail gets overlooked — from zoning and parking to building amenities and proximity to venues.

After the Games: What Happens to the Office Market?

Short-term office users often decide to stay longer than planned once they see how productive their team can be in Los Angeles. After the Games, some companies will transition from temporary to long-term leases, while others will continue using flexible workspace models that support hybrid teams.

 Post-Olympic trends to expect:

• Continued demand from media and production companies that expand locally.
• Sublease opportunities from companies that vacate temporary space.
• A steady increase in managed and flexible office solutions citywide.
• Redevelopment of Olympic-adjacent properties for long-term commercial use.

Final Thoughts

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will bring new energy, opportunity, and competition to the local office market. Whether you’re an international sponsor, a production team, or a logistics firm setting up shop for a few months, now is the time to start planning your short-term office strategy.

Finding the right space doesn’t have to be overwhelming, but timing, local insight, and flexibility are key.

I’ve always been someone who reads the room.

It started in live television, where timing was everything and silence usually meant something was on fire. With years of experience behind the scenes in TV production, I learned how to stay calm, think creatively, and resolve issues before they become problems.

Now, 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘅𝘂𝗺 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁, I bring that same mindset to commercial real estate.

It’s not about pushing space, it’s about understanding people. When someone tells me they need an office, what they mean is:
“𝙒𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨, 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙣.”

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻.

I don’t just lease office space. I help you get the right space at the right price!
