Chargers Set to Build HQ on 14-Acre Site in El Segundo

The Los Angeles Chargers have reached an agreement with Continental Development Corporation and Mar Ventures Inc. to construct its new corporate headquarters and training facility on a 14-acre site in El Segundo. Designed by Gensler Sports, the project south of El Segundo Boulevard and east of Pacific Coast Highway on Nash Street is centrally located less than 3 miles from Los Angeles International Airport and 7 miles from SoFi Stadium.

“When searching for a location to establish our hub of football and business operations, we didn’t leave a single stone unturned,” said Dean Spanos, Chargers owner and chairman of the board. “This process played out for more than four years because we weren’t willing to settle. Good enough wasn’t going to cut it. We wanted great and we finally found it. To be able to develop 14 acres of prime real estate with the proximity to LAX, SoFi Stadium, Silicon Beach, more Fortune 500 companies in the state than anywhere except San Francisco, and of course neighbors like the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings, it’s another major step toward building a perennial contender and further rooting ourselves in the community we serve.”

With an emphasis on player efficiency, direct access to the fields from all player and coaching spaces, and direct connection between team meeting rooms and exterior walk-though space, the new team headquarters include a rooftop hospitality club, full e-Sports gaming and content studios, and a 3,100-square-foot media center.

Outside the main building that spans 145,000 square feet, three natural grass fields with an artificial turf perimeter can be taken in from 7,600 square feet of elevated outdoor terrace space. An additional 3,400-square-foot elevated outdoor turf area and two-lane lap pool for player rehabilitation are among the various outdoor amenities set for construction.
