Colorado Commons at Old Town
Monrovia, California
Located on two acres within Monrovia’s historic Old Town district, the well-crafted condominium community features 68 attached homes with a selection of 10 floorplans, including flats and multi-level townhomes, many designed with stylish mezzanines. Colorado Commons at Old Town brings an affordable solution to potential residents who crave the charm of Pasadena, but not the cost.
Colorado Commons was developed by Barker Pacific Group, Inc. (BPG) as a public-private venture with the City of Monrovia Redevelopment Agency. The ground-up project consists of 68 residential units and 4 commercial units and was completed in the spring of 2008.
Due to the weak for-sale housing market at delivery, BPG created a rental strategy and successfully leased-up the project to 90% by December of 2008. The entire lease-up was only eight months. A key part of the rental strategy was a rent-to-own program that applies a portion of a tenant's rent toward the future purchase of the unit. BPG sold the units in 2015.
