The Pasadena Civic Center District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A Civic Center Master Plan was adopted by the City of Pasadena in 1999. More recently the city commissioned the Olin Study to review and add details to the Civic Center plans.
National CORE’s proposed affordable housing community honors the Bennett Plan and the Olin Study principles, paying homage to the City, community, and this historic neighborhood. The new Ramona Senior Affordable Housing Community will enhance the connectivity, public amenities, beauty, and general usability of this great civic space. As part of that commitment, National CORE has designed the major building entrance facing City Hall to be at a 45-degree angle, one of the requirements of the Bennett Plan.
The new Pasadena Civic Center – Ramona Property will be all-electric and will have a high-performance heat pump boiler system. The building also will deploy high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that are 20 to 35 percent more energy-efficient than what is required by the California Energy Code.
The development will have high-efficiency, all-LED lighting throughout, with smart controls to conserve energy. It will include EV charging stations with a built-in infrastructure to accommodate future modifications.
This stunning and sustainable community meets all LEED for Homes standards and is anticipated to receive LEED Gold Certification.
