Whoa. That's an about turn. I was convinced the residential towers would move forward in that space. Three crazy things about this:
1. CAA and ICM will effectively be moving across the street, which will gut the current CAA building (the Darth Vader building at Ave of The Stars, designed by Gensler), and the former MGM Building on Constellation.
2. Johnson-Fain will now have designed 4 out of the 6 trophy office towers in Century City: this building, Fox Plaza, SunAmerica Plaza (across the street) and Constellation Place (also the former MGM Building on Constellation).
3. It looks like the interiors will be designed by BIG. From the article:

CAA said today its new headquarters will occupy a “building-within-a-building,” designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and featuring “cutting-edge collaboration, dining, health & wellness, and event spaces.” The agency will have its own entrance, lobby and parking area.
