Los Angeles County has been at the forefront of growing pushback against the construction of new data centers, with Monterey Park residents recently voting to ban such projects citywide. But in a rarity for the State of California, one such development appears headed to the South Bay community of El Segundo.

The project, which would replace a Hyatt Place hotel built less than 15 years ago at 750 N. Nash Street, calls for the construction of a new five-story, approximately 160-foot-tall building with 230,000 square feet of space, as well as a new electrical substation.

Plans from engineering firm Arup and development firm Eight Form show the new building with a contemporary design and an exterior composed of metal and glass.

Property records list the owner of the site as Welcome Group, which typically focuses on hotel developments, such as the neighboring AC Hotel. Welcome Group reportedly acquired the Hyatt Place site in 2022 for $49 million.

The project will require an amendment to a previously adopted environmental impact report for the El Segundo Corporate Campus which studied the redevelopment of area bounded by Nash Street to the west, Mariposa Avenue to the south, Douglas Street to the east, and the C Line's right-of-way to the north. The property is otherwise developed with hotels, offices, sports fields, and the practice facility of the Los Angeles Lakers.
