Just south of the A Line in Arcadia, work is underway for a mixed-use apartment complex from developer Trammell Crow Residential.

The Alexan Azalea, approved in 2022 to replace a surface parking lot at 150 N. Santa Anita Avenue, will consist of a seven-story building featuring 319 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above parking for more than 570 vehicles.

TCR will be required to set aside 26 of the apartments as affordable housing, a requirement of density bonus incentives used to achieve the building's planned scale and density.

Studio One Eleven is designing Alexan Azalea, which will be flanked by a new outdoor plaza. That open space will separate the new apartments from an existing eight-story office building, while an alley on the eastern property line will be converted into pedestrian paseo to provide quicker access to the nearby A Line station.

The development will retain an existing bank, and also add a small cafe within the adjacent office building.

Construction of the project, which broke ground in May, is expected to occur over a 26-month period.

TCR is also developing Alexan apartment complexes at 325 N. Santa Anita Avenue in Arcadia, the nearby Monrovia community, and Downtown Long Beach.
