Sparks Practice Facility
The three-time WNBA Champion Los Angeles Sparks announced plans to build a 55,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art training and practice facility in El Segundo, opening in 2027. At $150 million, it marks the largest investment to date in the history of women’s sports for a single team.
Designed in partnership with global architecture firm Gensler, the facility will feature:
- WNBA’s first-ever indoor-outdoor player sanctuary, featuring:
- Outdoor spa pool for recovery and pre-hab/rehab
- Dedicated nap rooms
- Flexible wellness spaces for yoga, meditation, and quiet reflection
- Hydrotherapy & Spa Suites
- Two WNBA regulation basketball courts
- Circular locker room designed to foster team unity
- State-of-the-art weight room and training spaces bathed in daylight to support energy and recovery
- Extensive use of natural light and fully retractable doors that bring the outdoors in
- Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby mountains
Transwestern’s Sports & Entertainment Group advised on the land acquisition and is serving as development manager and owner representative for the project. Studio Blitz, a women-run commercial design firm, designed the Sparks’ new business headquarters inside the facility.
