Pasadena Redevelopment Poses Infill Challenge

27 September 2002 - 11:00am

In Pasadena, CA, owners of the defunct Ambassador College campus re-envision redevelopment plans for the site, including transit oriented development.

Last month, the Worldwide Church of God selected Shea Homes to guide their efforts to develop the campus of the defunct Ambassador College in Pasadena. The 48-acre property abuts a residential neighborhood on one end and the commercial Old Pasadena on the other (as well as the new MTA Gold Line). TPR is pleased to present this interview with Bernie Schnippert, Director of Finance and Planning for the Worldwide Church of God, and Les Thomas, Southern California President of Shea Homes, in which they discuss their vision for the Ambassador College development and the future of the famed Ambassador Auditorium.
