In honor of I.M. Pei's 100th birthday, I would like to write about two of my favorite residential buildings in Los Angeles. Century Towers are two statuesque beauties originally designed as rental apartments in 1964 by Pei, best known for his "Pyramide du Louvre" (Paris, France.)  They were later converted to condominiums by S. Jon Kreedman & Co. The gated complex is located at 2220 and 2222 Avenue of the Stars on over six acres of luscious grounds, making it one of the largest luxury residential condominium properties in Los Angeles.
