1364 East Green Street Research and Development Project (Caltech Innovation Center)
Pasadena
Description
A four-story, 93,539-square-foot R&D building with parking on a Caltech-owned surface lot next to St. Philip's Church and School. The council denied the neighborhood appeal and approved concept design review with voluntary BSL-1/2, height (73 ft), and parking (two subterranean levels) conditions.
Impact summary
Roughly 2,200 construction jobs and 200 permanent jobs, but neighbors cite traffic on narrow Holliston Avenue, construction disruption, and lab-safety concerns next to a school.
