The Century Towers, Twin residential skyscrapers in Century City, Los Angeles, United States

The Century Towers are two 28-story residential buildings in Century City with geometric layouts and extensive glass surfaces. These structures create a clean, modern profile that allows light to move across the buildings throughout the day, changing their appearance based on the sun's position.

Built in 1964 by Alcoa, William Zeckendorf and Welton Becket Associates, Century Towers was designed by I. M. Pei as the first residential project in Century City. S. Jon Kreedman & Company converted the apartments to condominiums in 1973.

Century Towers has housed actors, musicians and executives, among them Michael Douglas, Diana Ross, Jack Benny and Ruth Handler, founder of Mattel. Karen Carpenter bought two condos in 1976 and joined them into a duplex. David Janssen's widow Dani holds an annual Oscar party in her penthouse, and the buildings have appeared in episodes of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.

The Century Towers is a private condominium complex, not a public attraction; the grounds and towers are for residents and their guests. The site covers 6 acres along Avenue of the Stars, the largest luxury condominium property in Los Angeles. Visitors can view the twin 28-story towers from the public sidewalk on Avenue of the Stars.

The 6-acre site is described as the largest luxury condominium property in Los Angeles. Karen Carpenter bought two condos in 1976 and combined them into a duplex, and David Janssen's widow Dani holds an annual Oscar party in her penthouse.
