I totally agree on the salvaging of the hotel. I drove by on the 405 today and was pleasantly surprised to see the towers appear to be the tallest in Century City. Not sure if they actually are, but from my vantage point it looked like it.

I kind of see Century City like La Defense in Paris, which is relatively soulless, but its a nice skyline and a major employment center for the west side...
