The project site is located in the Century City District of Los Angeles, California. It is located on

the western half of a lot bounded by Avenue of the Stars to the west, Olympic Avenue to the south,

Constellation Boulevard to the north, and Century Park East to the east. The project site is

currently occupied by six-story buildings used for office and retail space, including a movie theater

and performing arts theater. Two existing high-rise office buildings are located on the eastern half

of the lot. A six-level subterranean parking structure underlies the entire lot.
