Century Plaza Towers, Twin towers in Century City, Los Angeles, United States.
Century Plaza Towers are two office buildings in Century City, Los Angeles, rising 174 meters above the city. Each tower contains 44 floors and displays a distinctive design with vertical lines and black and gray aluminum facades.
Construction of the towers began in April 1972 under architect Minoru Yamasaki. The twin buildings marked a significant development that shaped the growth of Century City as a major business center.
The towers appear regularly in television shows like Remington Steele and Moonlighting, which helped make them part of the city's visual culture. This visibility in entertainment shaped how many people recognize and remember Los Angeles itself.
The complex houses one of the world's largest underground parking facilities beneath the two office buildings, accommodating 5,000 vehicles. This extensive parking makes the site highly accessible for both visitors and workers.
The two buildings feature triangular footprints and a design approach similar to Yamasaki's earlier World Trade Center in New York. This geometric quality is less obvious at street level but becomes apparent when viewed from above.
