Near the eastern boundary of Pasadena, a two-story office building is set to be transformed into housing, according to plans recently considered by the City's Design Commission.
The proposed project from Elysian Housing, slated for a site at 600 N. Rosemead Boulevard, calls for converting the existing 42,518-square-foot building into a 52-unit apartment building. Additionally, a parking structure to the south of the existing building would give way to a new five-story, 81-unit apartment complex. Parking would be provided for 55 vehicles between the two buildings.
Plans call for a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, all of which would be set aside for low- and moderate-income renters save for two on-site manager's units.
