Paseo Colorado, Pasadena, CA

Between 1997 and 2001, David led the design, permitting, and public outreach efforts in the reimagining and redevelopment of a failed enclosed mall (Plaza Pasadena) on Pasadena’s main street, Colorado Blvd. The resulting project is a highly successful $120 million mixed-use center with 450,000 square feet of upscale retail, restaurants and a 16-screen cinema, 391 luxury rental units (developed by Post Properties), and beautiful public spaces connecting the project to the City’s historic core. The project has reinvigorated this important section of Colorado Blvd and is widely-studied as an example of successful mixed-use development.
