Station Case Study:<br />

Del Mar Station - Pasadena, California<br />

Del Mar Station is an example <strong>of</strong> excellent<br />

integration <strong>of</strong> new mixed use development<br />

with an LRT <strong>station</strong> reconstruction project.<br />

The project includes 347 apartments and<br />

20,000 Sf <strong>of</strong> retail around an at grade<br />

light rail <strong>station</strong> situated in <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> block. Mid-rise apartment buildings<br />

organized around <strong>the</strong> edges <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> block<br />

form a series <strong>of</strong> public plazas which lead<br />

to <strong>the</strong> <strong>station</strong> platforms. A key attribute <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> project is <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pedestrian<br />

spaces that lead to and include <strong>the</strong> <strong>station</strong>.<br />

Buildings are oriented to both <strong>the</strong> street<br />

and <strong>the</strong> mid-block pedestrian realm. Public<br />

art and high quality landscape treatments<br />

are used to connect <strong>the</strong> <strong>station</strong> to <strong>the</strong><br />

larger public realm.<br />
