Century City, CA

Century Plaza Towers

Home to some of the most prestigious tenants in the country — including industry leaders in entertainment, law, finance, new technology and more — Century Plaza Towers at Century Park stands as a hallmark of the Westside of Los Angeles’ city skyline.

So when the owners of the 2.4 million square-foot buildings decided to upgrade their existing core public restrooms on each of the 44 floors, it created two perfect opportunities. First, it allowed their restrooms to match the elegance and aesthetic expectations of the Class A property by adding Sloan sinks. Second, the upgrade also let architects specify fixtures that were more water-efficient in order to meet Century Plaza Towers’ commitment to green building sustainability.

For Aref & Associates Design Studio, specifying Sloan’s UPPERCUT® Flushometers, BASYS® faucets and hybrid urinals was the ideal solution to meet Century Plaza Towers’ aesthetic and sustainability goals.

Hitting the Drought with an UPPERCUT

With Southern California mired in a drought at the time of the modernization project, architects specified Sloan’s UPPERCUT® Flushometers to reduce water volume in all of the building’s restrooms. The flushometer is known for its two water-efficient flush options, pushing the handle down for full flush of solid waste (1.6 gpf) and pulling the handle up for liquid waste (1.1 gpf). With their water-efficiency features, Sloan’s UPPERCUT® Flushometers contributed to Century Plaza Towers’ Water Conservation Program.

Hygienic Meets Efficiency

In addition to the water-saving features of Sloan flushometers, three of its 7000 series designer hybrid urinals were specified for men’s rooms on each of the floors. The hybrid urinals feature Jetrinse™ Solution Technology that automatically cleans the housing and drain every 72 hours and virtually eliminates odor and clogs. Sloan hybrid urinals helped contribute to the property’s annual water savings.

High-End Hand Washing

When you think of U.S. cities offering upscale amenities, Los Angeles certainly comes to mind. Century Plaza Towers complements the City’s modern design aesthetic with Sloan’s space-saving customizable sink line incorporating both Sloan soap dispensers and faucet, and a basin that perfectly fits their space. With the addition of paper towel holders and trash bins, the entire design works together seamlessly. The restroom features BASYS faucets, a versatile product offering sleek interchangeable components. In addition to modern features, the BASYS faucet’s water-saving components reduced water flow from 1.5 gallons per minute to 0.5. Additionally, Sloan teamed up with Stone and Steel—a company providing high end commercial office and hospitality solutions—to provide custom LED mirrors, adding an extra touch of elegance to the Century Plaza Towers restroom.
