Heliport info
I work for a company that is based in LA and we are currently looking in to buying a helicopter. Can anyone give me information of the costs of a heliport spot in the city? How much will the rent cost and what are the additional expanses?
I don't need exact figures of course but I only want to get a general idea of the costs.

LA Heliports
As amazing as this sounds the LA area has only one public use heliport, which is at LAX, nowhere near downtown LA. And, it's only for transient traffic. Most of the corporate helicopters based in LA are based at Van Nuys airport. Hangar space may be a little hard to come by, but you might try:
Rotorcraft Support: (818) 997-7667
Raytheon: (818) 756-2100
or
Clay Lacy: (818) 989-2900
Hope this helps

heliport
I understand that Robinson is sponsoring construction of light heliports for any new R-44 owner in the LA area. You might also try looking at the FAA publications. I believe there is a good one on heliport design and requirements

Why would you want a heliport somewhere else then at your prime location/locations? You probably need to get the Heliport regulations of the City and then ask a contractor for the price to build it right there. Sometimes it is enough to fence of a corner of an existing parking lot. That's how it worked for several businesses that I know over here in the Eastern US.
