After more than 10 months of construction, wood framing is starting to take shape for Solana at Duarte Station, a new multifamily residential development just north of Metro's A Line.

The project from MBK Rental Living, located on Fasana Road just east of Duarte Road, will consist of a five-story building surrounding a parking garage on a roughly 3.4-acre site. The completed complex will include 292 studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments.

TCA Architects is designing the contemporary wrap-type apartment complex, which will feature amenities including a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a club room.

At the exterior, plans call for an "entertainment alleyway" with space for food trucks and events. Pocket parks and a linear park with a dog area are also planned.

Solana is the second component of a two-phase development from MBK, which started with the 344-unit Esperanza apartment complex next door.

Solana and Esperanza also sit across the L Line tracks from the 110-acre City of Hope campus, which is poised to undergo an expansion that will increase its patient capacity by 1,000 and its employment base by 1,500 through the 2030s.
