Japanese digital art collective TeamLab is opening its first permanent space in the United States in Anaheim, California. The facility is slated to open in 2030. Bloomberg reported on Thursday that the Samueli family, who own the Anaheim Ducks hockey team, agreed to a deal worth more than $100 million for the project. The new site will be part of a larger $5 billion development of the land surrounding the Honda Center.
The Samueli family is fully funding the construction of the TeamLab Anaheim facility. The building will be designed by Smith-Clementi, an architecture firm based in California. This project forms a key component of the OCVIBE development. That initiative is converting approximately 100 acres of land into a multiuse area. The development plan includes housing, offices, hotels, and an entertainment district.
TeamLab was founded in Tokyo in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko. The group consists of artists, programmers, engineers, and other specialists. They create immersive works that blend art, science, and technology. The collective already operates permanent exhibition spaces in Macao, Shanghai, Beijing, Jeddah, and Hamburg.
The new Anaheim location will sit 30 miles south of Los Angeles. It is approximately a 10-minute drive from Disneyland. TeamLab’s two current locations in Tokyo hosted more than 4.2 million visitors in 2025. Developers hope the California space achieves similar cultural relevance and attendance numbers.
Developers released a series of architectural renders alongside the announcement. These images depict the interior and exterior of the future facility. No specific opening date within 2030 has been announced yet.
