The Century Towers - 2220 & 2222 Avenue of the Stars - Luxury Full Service Condos in Century City Designed by I.M. Pei For Sale

The Century Towers, designed by one of the 20th century's most important architects I.M. Pei in 1964, was the first residential project in Century City. The gated complex is located at 2220 and 2222 Avenue of the Stars on over several acres of land, making it one of the largest luxury residential condo properties in Los Angeles. The Century Towers truly stand out from other high rise communities through West Los Angeles, such as those on the Wilshire Corridor, because of its spacious grounds.

These amazing twin towers offer floor to ceiling windows with units that overlook the greens of the Hillcrest Country Club, the Hollywood Hills, the Century City skyline, and beyond to the Pacific Ocean on a clear day. Amenities include doorman/front gates, 24 hour concierge/front desk, valet parking, ample guest parking, swimming pool, 2 tennis courts, gym, sauna, putting green, and more!

The Towers were originally built as luxury apartments in 1964, but were later converted to condominiums in 1973 by S. Jon Kreedman & Company. I.M. Pei is best known for his "Pyramide du Louvre" in Paris. He brought his signature style to the mid-century Century Towers. 

The two buildings are identical, there are 28 floors in each building (no 13th floor) and 331 units total. 1 bedroom units range from 820 to 1,072 sq ft, 2 bedroom units range from 1,301 to 1,369 sq ft, 3 bedroom units range from 1,624 to 2,170 sq ft, and maids quarters/offices are about 236-265 sq ft. Approximately 10% of the units have been combined to make larger units and the units have been remodeled to each owner's taste. Homeowner's dues are approximately $0.82 per square foot per month. The building is pet friendly and allows dogs and cats up to 25 lbs, as well as fish and birds.

The Century Towers are just steps away from the Century City Westfield Mall as well as Century City's business and retail district. The community is centrally located in Los Angeles, about 5 minutes to Beverly Hills, 10-15 minutes to the beach, and 15-20 minutes to downtown, with easy access to the 10 freeway.
Notable celebrities that have lived in the building include Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Burt Lancaster, David Janssen, Jack Benny, Sebastian Siegel, Diana Ross, Karen Carpenter, Josh Flagg, Ruth Handler (founder of Mattel), Edith Flagg and Berry Gordy.

There are currently 5 units on the market in the Century Towers for sale, and 2 units in the community for lease.

For Sale:

  • 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms - 6th floor - $998,000
  • 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms - 27th floor - $1,275,000

House Prices Continue To Rise In Most Neighborhoods of Los Angeles!


More data in this week regarding the continued rise of housing prices. CoreLogic reported that home prices rose 12.2% in May 2013 compared with the same month a year ago. It was the largest monthly increase since February 2006. Month over month, May prices rose 2.6%, including distressed home sales. Excluding distressed sales, May prices rose 2.3% compared with April, and the year-over-year price rose by 11.6%. 


Most interestingly, among the 100 largest U.S. cities, 97 showed a year-over-year increase in home prices. Some of the largest gains (including distressed properties) came in the Los Angeles metro area (up 19.8%) which mirrors what we’ve been seeing in this hot market.

What does the future hold? CoreLogic indicates that June housing prices will rise another 13.2% year over year and an additional 2.9% month over month. Excluding distressed sales, CoreLogic’s year-over-year increase for June is forecast at 12% and the month-over-month estimate is forecast to rise by 2%. All more signs that this market shows no signs of cooling off.

Here in Los Angeles, home prices in many neighborhoods have risen well over 20% since last May. If you own a property in one of these neighborhoods and are thinking of selling, now is a really great time to put your home on the market! The inventory is extremely low and with interest rates historically low, there is a multitude of buyers and homes are selling very quickly. The summer season is also the best time to put your home on the market.

  • Mid-Los Angeles - 78% increase 
    • Hollywood - 70% increase
    • Venice - 70% increase
    • Malibu - 68% increase
    • Brentwood - 50% increase
    • Silver Lake - Echo Park - 45% increase
    • Palms-Mar Vista - 42% increase
    • West Los Angeles - 31% increase
    • Marina del Rey - 30% increase 
    • Westwood-Century City - 27% increase
    • Cheviot Hills/Rancho Park - 24% increase 
    • Los Feliz - 23% increase
    • West Hollywood - 23% increase
    • Beverly Center/Miracle Mile - 22% increase
    • Mid-Wilshire - 22% increase
    • Playa Vista - 17% increase
    • Pacific Palisades - 16% increase
    • Hancock Park - Wilshire - 13% increase
    • Sunset Strip - Hollywood Hills West - 8% increase
    • Beverlywood - 7% increase
    • Hollywood Hills East - 6% increase
    • Culver City - 6% increase
    A couple neighborhoods in Los Angeles have also experienced a decrease since last year. If you are interested in purchasing a home in these areas, it is currently a great time to buy with interest rates still low!
    • Malibu Beach - 48% decrease
    • Beverly Hills - 34% decrease
    • Bel Air/Holmby Hills - 22% decrease
    • Santa Monica - 18% decrease
    • Beverly Hills Post Office - 6% decrease
