The light rail line runs directly underneath apartments at Del Mar Station. Most of the units are market rate, but a percentage of the units—dispersed throughout the project—are reserved for lower income residents.

The Del Mar Station development in Pasadena, CA was built around a light rail station that is part of Los Angeles’ Metro rapid transit rail system. The project includes rental apartments at a density of 100 units per acre, as well as restaurants, shops, plazas, and courtyards. A 1,200-car underground garage provides parking for residents, visitors, and Metro riders. A historic train depot was rehabilitated as part of the project. Del Mar Station residents can walk to nearby Old Town Pasadena, a historic business district; each January, they can also walk to the route of the Rose Parade.
