Let's Build a Better Pasadena

Caltech and Trammell Crow—a multi-billion-dollar developer—are planning a 93,500+ sq. ft., four-story commercial building for big pharmaceutical companies in a long-established neighborhood, directly beside a historic church and school, and across the street from a historical landmark.

​

Unbeknownst to our community, Caltech purchased the corner lot and rezoned it to accommodate their new project.

​

This project serves profit—not Pasadena. It threatens neighborhood safety and risks the cultural and spiritual heritage that Pasadena has built over the last century.​

 

If constructed, this massive modern complex will tower over and permanently overshadow the historic institutions and homes around it, including:

• The cultural landmark of Hill Ave Branch Library

• St. Philip the Apostle Church and School, which have faithfully served Pasadena for nearly 100 years

• Pasadena City College campus

• Holliston Ave residential homes

​

We urge the City to STOP THE PROJECT until FULL safety, environmental, and community impact studies are completed.

​

This is about more than one historic neighborhood. Allowing this project to proceed unchecked sets a dangerous precedent for oversized commercial developments to encroach on neighborhoods across Pasadena.
