Anaheim Development: Digital Art Collective to Build $100 Million Venue

Residents of southern California will gain access to a new permanent digital art destination in 2030. The project is part of a major land redevelopment planned for Anaheim, located 30 miles south of Los Angeles.

Bloomberg reported that the Samueli family, owners of the Anaheim Ducks, agreed to a deal worth more than $100 million with TeamLab. This arrangement will cover the full cost of the new exhibition space. The venue will occupy a building designed by the local architecture firm Smith-Clementi.

The art installation serves as a central feature of the OCVIBE project. This initiative converts roughly 100 acres of land surrounding the Honda Center into a mixed-use zone. The development will include residential units, office spaces, hotels, and an entertainment district.

TeamLab was established in Tokyo in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko. The group consists of artists, programmers, engineers, animators, mathematicians, and architects who work together on immersive projects. The collective currently operates permanent sites in Macao, Shanghai, Beijing, Jeddah, and Hamburg.

The developers aim to replicate the cultural impact seen at existing locations. TeamLab stated that its two venues in Tokyo attracted over 4.2 million visitors in 2025. The new Anaheim site will sit about a 10-minute drive from Disneyland.

The announcement included a series of visual renders for the upcoming space. The project marks the first permanent U.S. location for the Japanese collective.
