Warner Center, Los Angeles
Warner Center is a business district in Los Angeles, California. It was built to relieve traffic to/from downtown Los Angeles, as well as generate jobs in the San Fernando Valley. It was first envisioned in the 1970's and considered complete in the mid-1990's. It contains many low rise office buildings, as well as several high rise skyscrapers, notably three that are all in the same lot of land (all three being zoned out for commerce). There is also some residential and industrial. Warner Center is located in the Woodland Hills district of Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley. Los Angeles Pierce College (a junior college) is located east of the center.
The three tallest skyscrapers of Warner Center are all next to each other as to create a miniature skyline that blends in with the other high rises of the Valley, let alone Warner Center itself. The center skyscraper of the three is the tallest (even more of a favor to the skyline), having approximately 25 stories above ground, and as of the time of writing, has the company logo of AIG at the top.
The skyline of Warner Center is visible from the 101 freeway, with the farthest view of the entire skyline being visible to the west from the off-ramp of Parkway Calabasas Road, in the city of Calabasas, and with the closest western view being shortly after the Fallbrook Avenue off-ramp in Woodland Hills. The farthest eastern view is unknown at this time, but, on the clearest of days, can probably be seen from Van Nuys.

In August 2005, a large Metro transportation center is expected to open in Warner Center, near the intersection of Topanga Canyon/Victory, as the first stop of the Orange Line.
