Developments
6119 Temple City Blvd
18 unitsAn 18-unit condominium building broke ground on Temple City Boulevard using a 50% state density bonus, more than a year after City Council approval — two of the units reserved as very-low-income affordable.
4450 Temple City Boulevard
4 unitsFour condominium units are already under construction on Temple City Boulevard — the Planning Commission hearing in May 2026 wasn't about the building itself, but the parcel map that lets the four homes be sold separately.
9072 Arcadia Avenue
5 unitsA half-acre R-1 lot in the unincorporated county pocket next to Temple City is approved for five detached condominiums, one price-restricted — five years after the map was first filed with LA County Regional Planning.
