Fox Plaza Century City

Built:	1986-1987
Designed by:	Johnson, Fain and Pereire Associates
Type:	Skyscraper »» Click here to see other skyscrapers.
Location:	2121 Avenue of the Stars

Considered the most important building erected in Century City since it's inception, the Fox Plaza is an imposing force in the area's mini-skyline. Its 34-stories hold over 900,000 square feet of office space on Twentieth Century Fox property. Interesting use of setbacks and glass give it the architectural look of great palm fronds parting to reveal a blossom inside, or perhaps the searchlight that once characterized Hollywood in general and Fox in particular.

Some people may know, other may not, but the Fox Plaza in downtown Century City was the skyscaper in which the 1988 action blockbuster "Die Hard" was filmed. The film starred Bruce Willis as a New York City police officer who visits his wife in this exact L.A. highrise and is called into action when twelve terrorists seize control of the building.
