- The TeamLab museum will anchor OCVIBE, a $5 billion development transforming 100 acres near the Honda Center with housing, offices, and hotels.
- The permanent TeamLab museum adds cultural and destination value, enhancing OCVIBE's mixed-use appeal and likely supporting greater regional foot traffic and investment.
Museum project ties into OCVIBE buildout
As first reported by Bloomberg, the Samueli Family, owners of the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks, struck a deal worth more than $100 million with digital art collective TeamLab to open its first permanent U.S. museum.The venue is set to become part of OCVIBE, the family's $5 billion real estate development centered on the Honda Center in Anaheim. The arena, about 30 miles south of Los Angeles, is home to the Ducks.
Entertainment district expands regional draw
OCVIBE is planned to transform roughly 100 acres of parking lots into a larger entertainment district with housing, offices and hotels. Adding a permanent TeamLab location gives the project a cultural component that broadens its appeal beyond sports and conventional live events.For Anaheim and the wider Southern California real estate market, the museum adds another destination use to a development designed to increase activity around the arena district. The combination of residential, commercial and hospitality space points to a long-term mixed-use strategy for the site.

We noted projections for rapid expansion through FY29, driven by increasing digital listings and shifting traveler behavior toward shorter booking windows and more price-sensitive, selective planning.
