Facts

The Property

One Colorado is the premier location for retail, restaurants, entertainment and office-use in Old Pasadena.

Situated on one city block in the heart of the district, One Colorado is the project that spurred the redevelopment of Old Pasadena, having attracted Crate & Barrel, J. Crew, Armani A/X, The Gap and Il Fornaio when the rest of the area was still largely vacant (1991).  Relative newcomers such as Sushi Roku, Waterworks and Laemmle Cinemas continue to set the pace for dynamic revitalization, keeping the urban experience fresh and the retail caliber high.  Top-quality office space above street level is filled with architectural firms, production houses, communications companies and other creative industries that interplay with the life of the project.

The property’s historic architecture, alleys and brick Courtyard filled with dynamic shops and restaurants make it one of the most pleasant city experiences in the Los Angeles region.  One Colorado’s imaginative cultural programming of outdoor film festivals, live music presentations, site-specific art installations and children's arts & crafts projects, make it a pioneer in public space-creation, with thousands of people using the property to meet, shop, dine, attend shows or just hang-out with friends.
