The twin towered office complex with triangular footprints standing 571 feet, 44 floors. Born 1975.

The towers were completed in 1975 and designed by Minoru Yamasaki. The towers resemble his World Trade Center in their horizontal black and gray lines, but rather than having granite exteriors the Century Plaza Towers have aluminum ones. The towers have a somewhat unique triangular footprint and are landmarks that are clearly seen around the Los Angeles Westside.

  • Way back in the 1950s up till the land was sold, this is approximately where the Slygon castle exterior set was located which was constructed for the 1954 Cinemascope film, PRINCE VALIANT.
