California Boulevard

Seven new food and drink businesses, including two coffee shops, four restaurants, and a chai shop, opened across Pasadena. These openings are detailed in an Economic Development Update from Director David A. Klug and will be featured in an economic development report scheduled for City Council committee review on Tuesday.

Pie ‘n Burger owner Michael Osborne told the Pasadena Design Commission that a proposed five-story, 80,000 square foot building would threaten his popular diner. He argued that the new development nearby would practically 'swallow' the iconic restaurant whole, making it feel irrelevant.

Pasadena’s Pavilions supermarket will close in September, and the California Boulevard site could remain vacant for up to 18 months as the management firm works to find a new tenant and complete necessary changes. Councilmember Jason Lyon stated the city will ensure regular security at the site during this period.

Caltech has dedicated a new four-story laboratory building designed to isolate quantum research experiments from environmental disturbances. The Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Center for Quantum Precision Measurement features rooms engineered to eliminate vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and temperature fluctuations, enabling highly sensitive instruments to operate undisturbed.

Caltech is dedicating the Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Center for Quantum Precision Measurement, a four-story building with subterranean labs designed to minimize environmental interference. The facility will support research in quantum science, quantum information, and gravitational-wave detection, located near the Linde Hall of Mathematics and Physics.
