Executive Summary
The LAAA Team of Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present 185 Monterey Road, a rare fully entitled 53-unit condominium development opportunity located in the highly sought-after city of South Pasadena. The ±1.26-acre site has received Tract Map Approval, eliminating years of entitlement risk while allowing a developer to retain flexibility by completing building permits, value engineering, and contractor selection after closing.
The approved project consists of 53 condominium residences (46 market-rate and 7 moderate-income units) within a seven-story, approximately 88,111-square-foot building featuring structured podium parking, premium resident amenities, and contemporary architectural design. Offered at $8,000,000 ($150,943 per approved unit), the project represents one of the few large-scale for-sale residential development opportunities available in one of Los Angeles County's most supply-constrained ownership housing markets.
South Pasadena's exceptional public schools, affluent demographics, walkable downtown, and Metro A Line connectivity continue to drive strong demand for ownership housing while restrictive zoning has significantly limited new condominium development. The offering provides developers the opportunity to capitalize on a scarcity-driven market supported by recent Pasadena new-construction condominium sales exceeding $1,000 per square foot.
