Inglewood has spent the last decade transforming from a quiet residential city into one of the most-watched development stories in the Western United States. If you have driven past Prairie Avenue lately, you already know the signs: cranes, new storefronts and freshly paved streets are everywhere. Here is a clear, up-to-date guide to what is being built, what has already opened and when the rest is expected to arrive.
Hollywood Park: a new downtown around SoFi
At nearly 300 acres, Hollywood Park is the largest urban mixed-use development under construction in the Western U.S. Anchored by SoFi Stadium and the YouTube Theater, the project is steadily layering in retail, dining, offices, parks and thousands of homes. The retail district has surpassed 75% occupancy and is coming online, with new shops and restaurants opening in phases. On the residential side, The Residences at Hollywood Park — the Crosby, a 214-unit building, and the Wesley — have opened for leasing, with more than 2,000 additional units planned for later phases.
The Kali Hotel
The headline new arrival is the Kali Hotel and Rooftop, Autograph Collection — a 13-story, 300-room lifestyle hotel at 3737 Stadium Drive and the only hotel permitted within the Hollywood Park Specific Plan. The roughly $300 million project topped out in September 2025 and is expected to open in 2026. Plans call for 34 suites, multiple dining concepts, a pool, spa and fitness center, a rooftop restaurant overlooking the park and nearly 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Operated under Marriott Bonvoy's Autograph Collection, it sits steps from SoFi Stadium and within walking distance of the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum.
The Intuit Dome
Not everything here is still "coming soon." The Intuit Dome — the $2 billion, roughly 18,000-seat home of the NBA's LA Clippers — opened on August 15, 2024 with back-to-back Bruno Mars concerts. It joins SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum to give Inglewood three major venues within a short walk of one another.
Rebuilding Downtown and Market Street
Inglewood's historic core is getting its own revitalization. Through the Destination Market Street Program, the city is offering grants to help existing and new businesses with facade and tenant improvements. Market Street, Manchester Boulevard and Queen Street are set to be rebuilt block by block — each block taking roughly two months — with new landscaping, sidewalks, traffic controls, wayfinding, street furniture and pedestrian lighting.
A reimagined transit plan
The most-discussed change is the Inglewood Transit Connector. Originally envisioned as a 1.6-mile elevated, automated people mover, the plan was reimagined in April 2025 into a smaller-scale, community-centered project. The new approach centers on dedicated bus lanes and three mobility hubs — adding more than 1,000 parking stalls — plus a pedestrian bridge over Florence Avenue linking downtown to the Metro K Line's Downtown Inglewood Station. The first phase has broken ground, and the design preserves the right-of-way so a high-capacity people mover remains possible in the future.

Taken together, it is a remarkable amount of change for one city — and for residents and visitors alike, the best way to keep up is simply to come see it.
