Los Angeles, CA, August 9, 2026 —

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The city of Inglewood is utilizing eminent domain to acquire a shopping center located at the intersection of Market Street and Florence Avenue. The property currently houses over 20 businesses and is slated to be redeveloped into a transit hub.

This new transit hub is intended to serve as a key component of a shuttle bus system designed to connect the Metro K Line station to the city’s stadium district. The district includes major venues such as SoFi Stadium, which hosts numerous large-scale events throughout the year.

City officials state that the project’s primary goal is to improve crowd management during major events and to facilitate smoother transportation for attendees. The development of the transit hub is also part of a larger strategic plan for the redevelopment of the Market Street corridor.

While the city emphasizes the project’s benefits for the community and its alignment with the “greater good,” business owners operating within the targeted shopping center have voiced significant concerns. They are worried about the potential disruption to their businesses and their livelihoods during the acquisition and construction phases.

Specific details regarding the timeline for the eminent domain process, relocation assistance for the affected businesses, or the projected completion date of the transit hub were not immediately available. The contractor’s name for the transit hub construction was also not provided.
