Westgate is an 11.7 acre mixed-use TOD, and an urban-infill development within walking distance of Old Pasadena’s historic downtown including Pasadena’s Metro Gold Line Del Mar Station and Central Park. Westgate is LEED Silver Certified under the City of Pasadena’s Green Building Ordinance and is the first smoke-free community in Los Angeles County. The entire master plan includes 820 residences, 15,000 square feet of retail, two public parks, and two public plazas, with an overall density of 70 dwelling units per acre. The planning and entitlement process began in 2004 with numerous sessions working with City planners and engineers. Public design charettes with community members enabled residents and the local business community also to provide input and concerns. The project delivers on the City’s specific plan which calls for the site to provide an “eclectic urban village,” deliver housing and mixed use as a Smart Growth development and to redevelop a key downtown brown field site previously struggling with underuse.
