MISSION BELL CENTER

The Mission Bell Center project in South Pasadena, California, entails the demolition of three existing commercial buildings at 1101–1115 Mission Street to make way for a new mixed-use development featuring 75 residential apartment units, 2,660 square feet of commercial space, two levels of parking—one below grade and one at grade—and outdoor courtyard and decking areas throughout the site. The project qualifies for a 50% state density bonus under California law due to the inclusion of eight deed-restricted, very low-income affordable housing units. A tree removal permit has been secured for the removal of a single tree located in the public right-of-way. The project has been determined to be a ministerial action under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15268 and is exempt from environmental impact review pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1). Development must comply with the South Pasadena Municipal Code and the City’s Downtown Specific Plan. The City of South Pasadena, through its Community Development Department, is the approving entity, with Dean Flores listed as the Acting Planning Manager and primary point of contact. The project is being led by Mission Bell Properties, LLC, though no formal contract value, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulations are provided, as this is a local government initiative and not a federal procurement. No standard federal contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment terms, invoicing instructions, or representations from offerors are included in the documentation, indicating this is a municipal planning and permitting action rather than a competitively bid federal contract. The project’s timeline, performance period, and delivery schedule remain unspecified in the available records.
