Los Angeles (Oct. 17, 2003) – The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Greater Los Angeles has awarded Tower II at 21st Century Plaza with The Building of the Year (TOBY) Award for Corporate Facility Excellence, announced Chad W. Wehba, chief operating officer of BENTLEYFORBES, which owns both towers at 21st Century Plaza.

"We are extremely pleased to receive recognition for the quality of both the management team and facilities at 21st Century Plaza," said Wehba. "21st Century Plaza occupies a premier position in the Warner Center submarket, arguably the Valley’s top Class A office environment, and this recognition validates that standing."

Submitting the award on behalf of 21st Century Plaza Tower II was the Cushman & Wakefield property management team of: Patricia Andresen, RPA, general manager; Debby Boyd, assistant property manager; and Eric Stacey, chief engineer.

The 11-story, 287,000-square-foot 21st Century Plaza Tower II is located at 6303 Owensmouth Avenue in Woodland Hills, Calif. Construction of the structural steel tower was recently completed in 1999. The Tower II building is anchored by 21st Century Insurance Group, which occupies 85 percent of the two towers at 21st Century Plaza.

In its entirety, 21st Century Plaza is comprised of two 11-story towers encompassing approximately 518,000 rentable square feet, a 1,431 stall parking structure, 260 surface parking spaces and the "Plaza Gardens," a fabulous sculpture garden rotating works from master artists – the only of its kind in Southern California.
