Another bust-era project is alive and well and passed the City Council today: the long-planned redevelopment of Century City’s crescent-shaped Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel won unanimous approval this very morning. Developer Next Century Associates plans to put up two residential towers designed by Pei Cobb Freed, add a 100,000-square-foot retail and restaurant plaza, renovate the 1966 hotel, and create more than two acres of public open space on the six-acre site. The hotel will end up with 394 rooms and suites and 63 “luxury” condos (Marmol Radziner is handling preservation work). The towers–a late-in-the-game addition to prevent demolition of the Minoru Yamasaki-designed hotel–will each be 46 stories and have a combined 290 units. The compromise that saved the hotel was so successful that the project “received universal support with no public opposition,” according to a press release.
i think Century City Plaza Is One Of my interesting favorite places although i never been there but the Century Plaza Twin Towers (the Triangle ones) are one of my favorites because they are designed by minoru yamasaki the One Behind The World Trade Center
The twin towers are rad as hell. Because of their triangular footprint, you’re always getting a surprising juxtaposition of angles.
I was lucky to have a little work on that campus recently (on “Suits LA”, Century Plaza and the CAA building served as our lobby and exterior locations). I’m not normally a fan of “towers in the park” planning, but the park in the middle of the complex is genuinely lovely and full of activity.
Im A Huge Fan Of These Iconic Buildings but to me these are icons to me and im amazed by the Design of These Twin Towers and These were Used in Fight Club at the End Of The Movie
This Area in Los Angeles Is Pretty Cool but All the same The City Actually Once Had a Hotel Named The St. Regis Hotel But Was Unfortunately Demolished Somewhere in 2007 But The Century Plaza Towers Still Stood There For a While so I Hope That The City Continues to Evolve OverTime But Im Still a Fan Of This Beautiful City
