We intend to use our development initiatives to seed a market mired in conventional thinking with a range of housing types in "garden
city" densities. These projects, from ten to fifty dwellings per acre, explore an idea that Mayor Jerry Brown of Oakland, California,
best describes as "density with dignity."
Vista de La Puente Partners, LLC has transformed three acres of one of Pasadena’s most magnificent yet most neglected sites, the Vista del Arroyo Bungalows. The property features eight nationally registered historic bungalows, designed between 1920 and 1938 by distinguished Pasadena architects Sylvanus Marston, Myron Hunt, and Garrett van Pelt & Edgar Maybury, that had been vacant for over twenty years. These structures have been carefully restored to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, three new courtyard buildings of two- and three-story configurations have been added to the site, and rich plantings and gardens conserve and enhance the existing landscape. “The preservation of the bungalows is the most hotly awaited preservation project in Pasadena, as the buildings have been totally abandoned for twenty years,” says Elizabeth Moule. |
