Sprawling 100 West Walnut Project in Old Pasadena Announces First Tenant

The first tenant has committed to occupy office space within recently-completed 10 West, the initial phase of the 612,500 square foot 100 West Walnut development project in Old Pasadena.

10 West will be the new headquarters for leading food and beverage company Dine Brands Global under a long-term lease agreement that marks a major milestone for Old Pasadena; 10 West is the area’s first new ground-up office development in three decades.

10 West consists of three state-of-the-art five-story brick buildings at the former Ralph M. Parson Engineering site. Dine Brands will occupy 92,000 square feet on the fourth and fifth floors of the building

“We are thrilled to have completed the 10 West development, delivering best-in-class office space in the heart of historic Old Pasadena,” Rob Kane, Executive Vice President at LPC West, said. “Dine Brands Global is precisely the type of leader in its field that we aim to attract to this premier office campus, and we look forward to a terrific partnership moving forward.”

Established in 2007, Dine Brands is relocating its global headquarters to 10 West Walnut from its previous home in Glendale.

“We are proud to be the pioneering first tenant at 10 West, which offers expansive amenities, excellent transit accessibility, and the vibrance of a city known for its innovators,” John Peyton, Dine Brands CEO, said. “Moving our headquarters here will enable us to further grow our business, team members, and brands. We are excited to call Old Pasadena home.”

10 West replaces former Parsons parking lots with a five-story creative office building, retail space and 394 residential units. The second phase of the development will include at least 380,000 square feet of office space.

The 100 West Walnut project will feature office configurations that are scalable from 40,000 square feet to 600,000 square feet, floor-to-ceiling windows, and 22,000 square feet of ground-level retail amenities and event space.
