Top-level productivity in Pasadena at Playhouse Plaza.

Take your place in one of Pasadena's newest and highest quality mixed-use buildings, at Playhouse Plaza. Housed in a newly constructed campus of Art Deco offices with high-end finishes, an attractive lobby and great street presence, this location offers flexibility in work and play. The ground floor restaurant, shared courtyards and communal areas add to Playhouse Plaza’s suite of offices, meeting rooms and lounges, giving you a huge array of potential workspaces. Meet and collaborate with like-minded Miami professionals at weekly organized events, while you bolster your productivity with super-fast Wi-Fi and 24-hour facilities.

There’s underground parking with direct access as well as numerous above-ground options off Colorado Blvd. You’re only steps away from the Colorado Blvd & Oak Knoll Ave bus stop, and nearby Del Mar station connects you to the Metro Gold Line Light Rail for easy access to Downtown LA. The Playhouse District is a thriving neighborhood filled with a variety of retail outlets as well as restaurants including Zona Rosa Caffe and Blaze Pizza. It’s also a culturally important area, with nearby universities, USC Pacific Asia Museum and the Pasadena Playhouse performing arts theatre adding to the area’s academic atmosphere.

To grow your business in Pasadena, you’ll want somewhere high profile. From its prime Lake Avenue address, Century Plaza Center fits the bill, with the likes of the California Institute of Technology and 300 different businesses nearby.

Every room follows a different colour scheme, but if you’re after a truly blue-sky setting, head out to the terrace with your laptop and beverage of choice from the on-site cafe. The same high standards apply to amenities elsewhere – hello, Thai street food.
