6119 Temple City Blvd

Density bonus, broken ground

An 18-unit condominium building on Temple City Boulevard broke ground in February 2026, more than a year after the City Council approved it. The three-story project uses a state density bonus to build more than the site's base zoning would otherwise allow, in exchange for setting aside two units as affordable.

What's proposed

• 18 condominiums in a three-story building totaling about 19,800 sq ft, over a subterranean garage
• Unit mix from a single studio up to a four-bedroom — eight one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom
• Two of the 18 units (15% of the 12-unit base density) reserved for very-low-income households
• A landscaped courtyard of nearly 3,000 sq ft and parking for 23 cars underground

How it got here

The project used California's State Density Bonus Law, taking the site from a 12-unit base to 18 in exchange for the two affordable units — plus three concessions (reduced third-floor rear setback, increased lot coverage, increased second-floor floor area) and one waiver on minimum unit size. The city processed the approval as a Major Site Plan Review with a Tentative Tract Map, clearing CEQA under a Class 32 categorical exemption for in-fill development. The 14,715-square-foot lot previously held two dwelling units — eighteen condominiums on the same footprint is roughly nine times that density.

Where it stands

Under construction, following the February 2026 groundbreaking — about a year after the council's approval and two months after the fully entitled site sold for $2.85 million in December 2025. No completion date has surfaced in public sources.
