CAA signed a four-year lease renewal in July for its 2000 Avenue of the Stars and Century Plaza Towers areas, in keeping with a Los Angeles Enterprise Journal report that month. The area is available in at 302,911 sq. ft. Century Park, which encompasses the workplaces, is a three-building complicated sitting on 14 acres, with facilities together with health membership, dry cleansing, banks and pharmacies, and has been residence to CAA since 2007.

ICM Companions’ headquarters is across the nook at 10250 Constellation Blvd., holding the highest 5 flooring of a 35-story Century Metropolis skyscraper since an growth in 2016, with unique signage on the tower. ICM has a 10-plus-year lease on the area, which homes greater than 200 brokers and execs and an estimated 400 whole staffers in a 112,000-square-foot area.
