Samueli Family Signs Over $100M Deal for TeamLab's First U.S. Home

The Samueli family, owners of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, has agreed to a deal exceeding $100 million with Japanese digital art collective TeamLab. The agreement secures a location for the group’s first permanent exhibition space in the United States, scheduled to open in 2030.

The new gallery will serve as a central feature of OCVIBE, a planned $5 billion development. This project will convert approximately 100 acres of land surrounding the Honda Center into a mixed-use district. The area will include housing, office spaces, hotels, and an entertainment zone.

Bloomberg reported that the Samueli family will fully fund the construction of the TeamLab venue. The building will be designed by Smith-Clementi, an architecture firm based in California. The site is located 30 miles south of Los Angeles and sits roughly a 10-minute drive from Disneyland.

TeamLab was founded in Tokyo in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko. The collective consists of artists, programmers, engineers, animators, mathematicians, and architects. They create immersive works that blend art, science, technology, and nature. The group currently operates permanent sites in Macao, Shanghai, Beijing, Jeddah, and Hamburg.

Developers aim to replicate the popularity of the collective’s existing international venues. According to TeamLab, its two Tokyo locations attracted more than 4.2 million visitors in 2025. The developers released a series of visual renderings of the Anaheim space alongside the announcement of the deal.
