1975 Lincoln Ave Pasadena, CA 91103

Located on a prominent corner lot with approximately 126 feet of frontage along Lincoln Avenue, this freestanding building presents an owner-user opportunity. The property is situated at the heart of the City of Pasadena’s Lincoln Avenue Specific Plan (LASP) and designated LA-CG (Lincoln Avenue – Commercial General) zoning. The LASP was adopted to intentionally repurpose the Lincoln Avenue corridor from legacy industrial and limited commercial uses into a vibrant, walkable, neighborhood-serving commercial district, encouraging retail, service, office, and community-oriented uses. The zoning framework is designed for owner-users, allowing customer-facing businesses to capitalize on a growing, affluent Pasadena trade area with strong local demand for neighborhood-serving commercial. LA-CG zoning is designed to activate street frontage and support walkable, mixed-activity environments, favoring storefronts and visible customer-facing operations over auto-oriented or industrial uses. Permitted uses include restaurants and cafés, specialty retail, professional and medical offices, fitness and wellness, personal services, education, creative and technology offices, and other neighborhood-serving businesses that generate consistent daytime and evening traffic. The City of Pasadena is actively positioning Lincoln Avenue as a “main street” commercial spine, supported by streetscape improvements, reduced industrial intensity, and development standards that prioritize pedestrian engagement, local convenience, and repeat neighborhood customers. The property is located in North Pasadena, proximate to Interstate 210 (136K+ VPD), and benefits from strong regional connectivity and affluent surrounding neighborhoods including Altadena and La Cañada Flintridge. The trade area features average household incomes of $145,536 / $159,452 / $169,494 within 1-, 3-, and 5-miles, respectively, supported by a residential population of 19,317 / 114,936 / 296,892 across the same radii. Pasadena’s economy is anchored by a highly educated workforce and major institutional employers, including NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (6,700+ employees) and Kaiser Permanente (6,500+ employees). The property size is 5709 square feet.
