Remarks

Prime Pasadena Infill: High-Density RM-48 Lot Near Caltech & PCC – Up to 35 Buildable Units (High Density), or 17-21 units (Mid Density). A rare infill opportunity on N Michigan Avenue: a 7501SF, RM-48 high-density lot located mere steps from Caltech and Pasadena City College. Because this site is a vacant lot, developers benefit immediately from zero demolition costs, allowing for a faster, more cost-effective path to vertical construction in one of Southern California’s most supply-constrained markets. The property offers unparalleled flexibility, accommodating a wide range of builder strategies. Depending on city approvals, developers can pursue three distinct development paths: a High-Density affordable project yielding up to 35 units, a Mid-Density Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) yielding 17-21 units, or a Low-Density residential project of 5 units. This makes it an ideal acquisition for boutique builders or seasoned development firms looking to expand their footprint in a high-barrier-to-entry city. Location serves as the ultimate amenity for this site. Situated between LAKE Ave and Hill Ave, and 1 lot away from Union St and Michigan Ave corner, it offers superb access to all the best amenities City of Pasadena has. Situated just minutes from major employment cente
