HED served as Executive Architect for the new Century Plaza Towers. Designed by acclaimed New York architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, the two 44-story, triangular glass towers flank the historic Century Park Plaza Hotel’s west elevation, and contains 290 luxury condominiums, including multi-floor penthouses. HED also acted as Executive Architect in the conversion of the top five floors of the 1966 hotel into condo units.

The full completed project includes the conversion of the hotel into high-end suites, residential condominiums, restaurants, and retail space. Extensive landscaping connects the new mixed-use development with the burgeoning Century City business district.
