SoCal has no shortage of massive projects reshaping the region, from the world’s largest wildlife crossing over the 101 Freeway to Irvine’s 1,300-acre Great Park. Now, the West Valley is getting its own enormous transformation: Rams Village at Warner Center, a proposed $10 billion neighborhood centered around the Los Angeles Rams’ future permanent headquarters.
From a struggling mall to Rams Village
The project is rising on roughly 52 acres in Warner Center in Woodland Hills, bordered by Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Erwin Street, Owensmouth Avenue and Oxnard Street. The site was once home to The Promenade, a shopping mall that opened in 1973 and eventually became one of the Valley’s most visible struggling retail properties.
Demolition of the old mall began in January and was completed in August, leaving the site cleared for its next chapter. Permanent construction is currently targeted for 2027, with the broader neighborhood expected to take roughly a decade to build out in phases.
A $10 billion sports-anchored neighborhood
Rams Village is planned to contain more than 5.2 million square feet of development, making the scale considerably larger than a typical shopping-center replacement. The project is expected to cost upward of $10 billion.
At the center will be the Rams’ permanent headquarters and training complex, covering more than 350,000 square feet. It will retain the two existing full-size outdoor practice fields and add a roughly 150,000-square-foot indoor practice facility with seating for up to 2,500 people.
The wider development is planned to include:
- 3,100+ homes, including apartments and live-work units.
- Two indoor entertainment venues seating 5,000 and 2,500 people.
- Nearly 2 million square feet of office, retail and hotel space.
- A 182-room hotel.
- A 65,000-square-foot public park with a bandshell.
- More than 9 acres of public space.
- Restaurants, shops, and additional community amenities.
- Office and medical-office space, including a planned 19-story tower.
The project will also rise vertically, with plans calling for several high-rise buildings across the site. One 29-story tower would include more than 500 homes, while a 32-story building would add more than 400 residences alongside commercial space.
