The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce is set to relocate its headquarters to the U.S. Bank Tower, a move that underscores its commitment to the revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles. This decision, announced on October 21, 2026, marks a significant step in the Chamber’s modernization efforts and aligns with the city’s broader economic development goals, according to the LA Chamber News Articles.
The Chamber has secured a long-term lease for 11,411 square feet on the 32nd floor of the iconic tower, with plans to relocate by mid-2027. This move is seen as a strategic investment in both the future of the organization and the downtown area. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass emphasized the importance of this relocation, highlighting it as a catalyst for economic opportunity and a vital component of efforts to position Downtown Los Angeles as the civic, cultural, and economic heart of the city.
Maria S. Salinas, President and CEO of the Chamber, stated that the new headquarters would reflect the Chamber’s modern, connected, and globally focused vision. The relocation is part of a broader initiative to prepare Los Angeles for upcoming global events, including the 2027 Super Bowl and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. These events are expected to bring significant economic activity to the region, and the Chamber is actively working to ensure local businesses are ready to seize these opportunities through initiatives like Rally LA.
