Location
The Gateway West Building was located on the southwest corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and the Avenue of the Stars in Century City, a suburb of Los Angeles.
History
Completed in 1963, Gateway West was the first building erected in Century City—an architectural plan that converted the back lot of 20th Century Fox into a modern neighbourhood with skyscrapers. Designed in the International Style by renowned architect Welton Becket (1902-1969), it was 173.56 feet (52.90 m) high and had a façade made of aluminum.
Gateway West was demolished in 2015 to make way for an expansion of Westfield Century City.
Heritage significance
As the first high-rise building erected in Century City, this building represented the new style of the neighbourhood.
