Pei Cobb Freed, Yabu Pushelberg collaborate for $2.5B Century Plaza project

In Los Angeles, the Century Plaza Hotel development project, which includes two 46-story luxury residential towers, restaurants, retail shops and a newly designed 400-room five-star hotel, will get under way this March. The $2.5-billion project is expected to be completed in early 2018.

Located at the intersection of Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard, the 1.5-million-square-foot hotel and mixed use development will be the centerpiece of a redevelopment occurring in Century City including the $800-million expansion of the Westfield Century City Mall and over 10 million square feet of offices, residences, restaurants, retail and entertainment venues.

The hotel, which has a crescent shape, and was originally designed by Minoru Yamasaki, will be restored with 394 guestrooms and suites, and 63 residences. The open-air lobby will be transformed by design firm Yabu Pushelberg connecting public plazas and fountains to a central two-acre garden surrounded by restaurants and retail. In total, there will be 100,000 square feet of retail on the site. The two 46-story towers designed by Pei Cobb Freed will have 290 residences.
