Mapping the Future

Century City’s landscape has been reshaped over the last few years with the completion of the Constellation Place and 2000 Avenue of the Stars office buildings. But more changes are on the horizon with the planned development of perhaps 1,300 condominiums, which would transform the former 20th Century Fox back lot into more than just a neighborhood of daytime office workers. Below are the office, residential and retail projects planned, under way or recently completed.
