An SRO (Single Room Occupancy) is the only Residential use permitted in Pasadena’s Commercial General zone, allowing developers to build valuable residential real estate in commercially thriving locations.  Bounded by a maximum threshold of 220 square feet per unit, the key is to provide ample shared amenity spaces.  This project, proximal to the CalTech and PCC campuses, will be a haven for students and young adults, with a communal pool deck, gym, lounge, study niches, and a kitchen fit for a chef.  Each unit comes complete with a generous private patio.
