Boston Centennial Building

Experience New York-style living in the heart of Old Town Pasadena at the Boston Centennial Building. Originally constructed in 1905, this architectural gem boasts Italian Renaissance Revival styling, adorned with the timeless beauty of brick. The 1930s brought transformative changes to its east and north street facades, introducing terrazzo bulkheads and new entrances, complemented by elegant canopies. A significant renovation undertaken in 2006 by RVM Associates infused modern life into this historic structure. Adhering to LEED standards, the renovation masterfully preserved the building’s original exteriors, featuring 2-foot-thick brick walls and historic terrazzo, while nesting a completely new, environmentally-friendly building within. Today, located on North Raymond Avenue, nestled between Colorado Boulevard and Pasadena’s renowned Restaurant Row, the four-story Boston Centennial Building shines as a mixed-use haven. It now houses 33 commercial and residential units, each offering a front-row view to the prestigious Tournament of Roses Parade route. This melding of historical integrity with modern sustainability makes the Boston Centennial Building a unique, vibrant place to live and work.
