Landmark Construction Milestone: Kali Hotel Tops Out in Inglewood
Kali Hotel and Rooftop has achieved a major construction milestone, as announced by the KPC Development Company. The topping-out ceremony was held on September 10, 2025, to mark the milestone. The $300 million Autograph Collection hotel in Hollywood Park is now ready to take the next step. With its 12-floor structural frame complete, the building is entering the next phase of construction.
A topping-out ceremony recognized the completion of the structural frame. Local dignitaries and community leaders attended to honor those involved in the project. Builder Clayco, Hollywood Park, and the Founder of KPC Development Company attended the event.
“Kali Hotel represents KPC’s inaugural luxury project in Los Angeles, with more developments planned for the market,” said Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, Chairman and Founder of KPC Development Company. “We broke ground less than 11 months ago on this project driven by vision and passion. Today’s ceremony demonstrates substantial progress on what is the only hospitality destination of its kind in Greater Los Angeles. The hotel has already received great interest ahead of premier sporting events in 2027 and beyond.”
$300 Million Project is One-of-a-Kind Within Hollywood Park Specific Plan
Located next to SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theatre, the hotel is a one-of-a-kind project. It is the only hotel permitted within the Hollywood Park Specific Plan. It is within walking distance of the Intuit Dome, Kia Forum, and the NFL Los Angeles West Coast headquarters. It is also within walking distance of the forthcoming Hollywood Park Studios.
The 12th-floor restaurant and bar is set to bring the best of entertainment. The expansive rooftop is soon to become a signature destination, offering spectacular views.
Construction Progress and Future Plans
The topping-out ceremony marks the completion of the building’s structural frame. This marks the end of a major construction phase, with additional work underway across the site. Windows are already installed on the third floor and will be advancing to higher levels. Concrete has also been poured on the hotel’s 12th floor and helistop.
Kali Hotel and Rooftop will comprise 300 guest rooms, which include 34 suites. It offers a signature all-day dining concept, lobby bar, and pool. The yoga deck, spa, and fitness center satisfy the relaxation and fitness needs of guests. The hotel also includes nearly 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, supporting its mixed-use hospitality concept.
The hotel will join Marriott Bonvoy’s Autograph Collection Hotels, which is a premium brand of independent hotels. Crescent Hotels & Resorts, an elite management company, will manage the hotel. The award-winning operator is approved to manage upper-upscale and luxury properties.
Builder Clayco continues to lead the construction of this hotel building. Construction continues in collaboration with architect Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC) and Sixteenfifty Creative Intelligence. Together, they are now focusing on the exterior, interior buildout, and design installation.
The hotel complements the thriving Hollywood Park development, operated by Los Angeles Rams Owner/Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke. Hollywood Park is the largest urban mixed-use development currently under construction in the Western U.S.
