Century City

On their first visit to Los Angeles, many visitors mistakenly think Century City is Downtown Los Angeles.  In fact, Downtown is located ten miles to the east.  The multitude of high-rise towers in Century City causes the confusion. When viewing the area from afar, even locals sometimes confuse the area with the Wilshire Corridor because the towers of Century City blend in seemlessly with the high-rise buildings along the Corridor.

A City Within a City

What is Century City?  It is a district of Los Angeles that occupies approximately 176 acres on the Westside.  It is very much a city within a city, an upscale mini-metropolis that is home to some of Los Angeles's finest restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues. 

Since it was founded 50 years ago, Century City has become an prestigious address for businesses, shopping, luxury living, dining, and guest accommodations. Today, it's home to nearly 2,500 businesses and 40,000 employees, including attorneys, investment bankers, CPA's, real estate firms, doctors, and technology and media firms.  Many major law firms and talent agencies that serve the film, television, and music industries are headquartered there.  The presence of these firms have given Century City a well-earned reputation as being an upscale business center.

A major advantage for businesses located in Century City over Downtown Los Angeles is its proximity to Beverly Hills, Westwood and the Wilshire Corridor, Santa Monica, and the Olympic corridor.  A good number of residents from the surrounding communities work in Century City. 

Because of its central location, easy accessibility, and abundant office space, Century City is primarily a commercial district.  However, there is also a sizeable residential community, numbering approximately 5,000.  Century City is located on the westside of Los Angeles, on the border of Beverly Hills.  It was once the backlot to Twentieth Century Fox, from which Century City derived its name.  Fox was forced to sell off its backlot after the massive losses it incurred after releasing the Elizabeth Taylor epic "Cleopatra".

Many locals are familiar with Century City because of the newly renovated outdoor Westfield Mall, formerly known as Century City Mall, which is home to department stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and luxury boutiques.  The Fox Plaza, an office building where many Fox businesses are located, was featured prominently in the first "Die Hard" film starring Bruce Willis.

Century City Lifestyle

There's a striking cleanliness about Century City, a refreshing, open-air atmosphere.  Despite the ten million square feet of office space, approximately 60% of Century City remains open.  This open-air aspect, complemented by pedestrian walkways, outdoor plazas, and striking architecture, make Century City an enjoyable walking experience, particularly near Avenue of the Stars.

Century City hotels provide a wide range of five-star accommodations for out-of-town visitors.  The Westin Century Plaza Hotel is a Los Angeles landmark and has hosted numerous U.S. Presidents and overseas royalty.  The Marriott and Hyatt chains also provide rooms for guests visiting Los Angeles.

Century City is also home to many luxurious high- and low-rise condominium buildings. All of Century City's condominium complexes have an ambiance of privacy and sophistication.
