A year since our last update, wood framing is finally starting to rise at Pacific Plaza Premier Development Group's Pacific Square apartments in San Gabriel.

Located on a roughly six-acre site at 700-800 San Gabriel Boulevard, Pacific Square will consist of two buildings featuring a combined 243 one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes above eight street-fronting live/work units and approximately 73,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Plans also call for subterranean parking for 983 vehicles.

Architect Richard Abe of Media Portfolio is designing the complex, which will include a pair of five-story structures framing an approximately 23,000-square-foot park  opening onto to Gladys Avenue to the east. Plans also call for a roughly 10,000-square-foot plaza facing San Gabriel Boulevard to the west.

Construction of Pacific Square was anticipated to occur over an approximately 32-month period, per an environmental study conducted for the project. At the time of the start of construction, that would have put the project on track for completion in late 2025 or early 2026.

While much development in the San Gabriel Valley is concentrated along Valley Boulevard, San Gabriel Boulevard has also seen new investment in recent years. A similar project is slated for a site roughly a half-mile north at 220 South San Gabriel Boulevard.
