If you’re part of a National Olympic Committee planning for Los Angeles in 2028, here’s what becomes clear fast.
You don’t just need a place to stay. You need a place to run your entire operation.
And in a city like Los Angeles, that decision isn’t as simple as picking a neighborhood.
- Your athletes may be based at UCLA.
- Your events could be spread across the region.
- Your partners might be staying near LAX or the coast.

ToggleSo where does your team actually work each day?
Here’s what I’m seeing work best for delegations setting up a temporary headquarters:
West Los Angeles near UCLA
This is the closest option to the Olympic Village, which makes it ideal for delegations prioritizing daily access to athletes and training facilities. It tends to be quieter and more residential, but there are still pockets of office space that can support focused operations and leadership teams.
Culver City for central access
Culver City sits in the middle of a lot of Olympic activity, which makes it one of the most practical choices. You get access to multiple freeways, strong amenities, and a growing inventory of creative office spaces that can flex for media, meetings, and coordination.
El Segundo for LAX proximity
El Segundo is the move for delegations with constant international arrivals and departures. Being minutes from LAX can make a big difference when you’re coordinating athletes, staff, and equipment on tight schedules.
What most delegations don’t realize early enough is how quickly the right kind of space disappears.
You’re not just competing with other countries. You’re up against broadcasters, sponsors, production teams, and tech groups all locking in space at the same time.
And everyone is looking for the same setup

- plug and play offices
- conference rooms for daily briefings
- secure access
- flexible lease terms that match the Olympic window
I recently worked with a group that assumed they could wait.
They ended up splitting their team across two buildings. It got the job done, but it slowed everything down.
The delegations that have the smoothest experience usually approach this differently.
They start earlier than feels necessary.
Not to commit right away, but to understand what’s actually out there, how pricing moves, and what tradeoffs make sense for their team.
- Some choose to stay close to UCLA.
- Others prioritize being near LAX.
There isn’t one perfect location. But there is a smarter way to approach it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should an Olympic delegation start looking for office space in Los Angeles?
Most groups should begin exploring options 18 to 24 months in advance. Not to sign immediately, but to understand availability, pricing, and how quickly inventory is being absorbed.
What type of office setup works best for a National Olympic Committee?
Furnished, plug and play office space tends to work best. It allows teams to move in quickly, hold daily briefings, and operate without dealing with buildouts or long setup timelines.
Is it better to be close to the Olympic Village or the airport?
It depends on how your team operates. If your focus is athlete coordination, being near UCLA can be more efficient. If you have constant travel and logistics, proximity to LAX often becomes more valuable.

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.”

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