In Century City, steel framing has now passed the halfway point on its vertical climb at 1950 S. Avenue of the Stars, and glass is starting to appear on what will be the neighborhood's first new office tower in more than 15 years.

Century City Center, which is being developed by JMB Realty at the intersection of Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard, will eventually stand 37 stories tall and contain approximately 730,000 square feet of offices above parking, and retail space. Plans also call for two acres of gardens and courtyards on the property, which was long vacant before the start of construction.

Although office space is a risky bet in 2024, the new tower has already secured at least two anchor tenants. In 2022, talent agency CAA announced plans to move into Century City Center when complete, planned a 400,000-square-foot space with design work by Bjarke Ingels. One year later, it was reported that Clearlake Capital has agreed to pre-lease 150,000 square feet of space within the building, accounting for its top eight floors.

Johnson Fain is designing the tower, which will stand approximately 564 feet tall at completion.

The project is slated for completion in 2026, around the same time as the Constellation/Avenue of the Stars subway station opens next door as part of Metro's D Line extension.

More offices may be on the way elsewhere in the neighborhood. As part of an overhaul of its historic studio lot, Fox Corp. has announced plans that include a 35-story office tower nearby on Avenue of the Stars.
