Renting Office Space in Pasadena

Pasadena is an ideal combination of the region’s historical roots with a distinct eye towards the future. Few areas in Los Angeles can mix old and new into such a vibrant and appealing mix that attracts everything from well-established firms to innovative startups. Mission-style architecture sits alongside sleek, modern complexes to create an attractive dynamic that a variety of companies and industries gravitate towards.

Companies can expect to find significant traditional office and retail space, growing coworking facilities, and limited smaller warehouse inventory. Space in Pasadena typically ranges from 2,000 sq to 5,000 sq ft at average rents of $3.05/sq ft. The city’s many older, more historical buildings still have many long-term tenants typified by Pasadena’s several law firms and corporate tenants. Many established coworking brands already have a significant footprint within the marketplace and cater to the rapid growth of tech companies attracted to the city’s affordable and diverse inventory.

Tenants will also find ample parking on Lake and in structures along Colorado Blvd. Most of those structures are separate from the buildings they serve and offer 90 minutes of free parking. Several larger leases have been especially noteworthy in recent months including driverless car firm GM Cruise’s seven-year agreement for 47,000 sq ft of space near Rosemead and the 210 Freeway. Such growth equips the local economy with enough strength to absorb a progressive minimum wage that rises to $15/hr in 2020.
