If I remember correctly, Century City's height limit is slightly under 600 feet. That's due to FAA regulations for the nearby Santa Monica Airport though, not the protests of westside NIMBYs.

10000 Santa Monica Blvd is also proposed. It's a Jean Novel design. No one really knows the status of this. Last summer, there was a lot of heavy equipment digging on site but nothing else came of it.

I think the Jean Nouvel design was scrapped a few years ago, which is a shame. From what I've read, after all of the digging that occurred in the summer, the lot was filled back in.
These guys also had an interesting design for 10000 Santa Monica:
