Mission Meridian Village
South Pasadena, CA
Mission Meridian Village was designed and built to seamlessly fit in with the existing historic fabric of South Pasadena. The village is built with the principle of "blended density," offering a range of urban residences, from loft-style to courtyard housing, in combination with 5,000 square feet of locally owned- and operated ground floor retail and a 280-space subterranean public parking garage. The Mission Meridian Village was awarded "Best TOD" by the Urban Land Institute, and received the coveted "Charter Award" from the Congress for the New Urbanism in 2006.
EASTWARD DEVELOPMENT
FROM SAN GABRIEL TO INLAND EMPIRE
The San Gabriel Valley and lnland Empire, located on the east of the Los Angeles, are one of the fastest growing regions in the Country. As high living costs displace LA residents, young people, families as well as empty nesters are moving east. However, the demographics increasingly are attracted to a more urban lifestyle. CHA capitalizes on both these trends by building dynamic mixed-use hubs in the suburbs near existing and incoming public transit improvements.
Pioneer Square
San Dimas, CA
CHA is working with the City of San Dimas to create a complete transit-integrated village at the west gateway of historic Downtown San Dimas. In partnership J Lou Development, the hotel developer behind Hotel Normandie, and Arteco Partners, the firm responsible for the revitalization of Downtown Claremont, CHA assembled the team and delivered a proposal that garnered widespread community support. The conceptual plan currently includes a 60-room boutique hotel, 75,000 sf of commercial space and 40 loft/townhome residences on a site that reserves over half of the space to a main square and paseos seamlessly connecting Bonita Ave. and Pioneer Park. The delivery of Pioneer Square anticipates the arrival of the second phase of the Metro Gold Line extension to Pomona, which will stop in San Dimas a quarter mile from the site.
University Village
Redlands, CA
The University of Redlands selected the CHA team to lead the effort of creating a truly remarkable “town and gown” neighborhood, University Village. A 30-acre transit oriented neighborhood master plan at the MetroLink/Arrow Line terminus station at the University of Redlands, University Village will be centered around a town square, anchored by a 5-screen Laemmle Theatre and neighborhood/University serving independent bookstore, a small grocery, cool bars/cafes and a variety of housing types offered at diverse price points. CHA has successfully engaged the University, the surrounding community and a variety of development professionals from southern California through a three-day intensive charrette working towards the University Village Master Plan
