If you are bringing a tech team into Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics, Playa Vista is one of the first places I walk clients through.
Not because it sounds good on paper, but because it actually works once you get here and start operating.
I had a conversation recently with a production tech group planning ahead for Olympic support.
They assumed they would figure out office space closer to their start date.
Once we talked through headcount, equipment, and how their team would function day to day, it became clear they needed something more intentional.
Playa Vista came up quickly.
You are close to LAX, within reach of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, and surrounded by companies that understand how tech teams operate under pressure.
That makes a difference when you are setting up something temporary but critical.
What I am seeing right now is a mix of options that are not always obvious online.
Some companies are offering short term subleases.
Others are open to flexible deals if the use case makes sense.
There are also furnished offices where teams can move in and start working without buildout or delays.
Here is what tends to work best for Olympic tech teams in Playa Vista
โข Private suites that are already built out so your team can walk in and get set up quickly
โข Flexible lease terms that match production schedules instead of locking you into long commitments
โข Strong internet infrastructure that can handle large data needs and constant usage
โข Conference rooms and collaboration areas so your team is not spread across multiple locations
โข Parking for staff and vendors which becomes more important than people expect
One thing I always point out is that coworking is not the only option.
It can work for smaller teams, but once you grow past a certain size, having your own space makes everything easier.
You have more control, fewer distractions, and the ability to run your operation the way you need to.
I recently helped a team secure a short term office in Playa Vista that checked all their boxes. It was furnished, had the right layout, and aligned with their timeline.
They had originally planned to piece something together last minute, but this gave them clarity and a much smoother setup.

Iโve 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.

Itโs not about pushing space, itโs about understanding people. When someone tells me they need an office, what they mean is:

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