PASADENA, CALIF. — Meridian has acquired 55 East California Boulevard, a medical office building located adjacent to Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, for approximately $13.3 million. Concurrent with the purchase, Meridian finalized a long-term lease with The Huntington Physicians, an affiliate of Huntington Health and Cedars-Sinai Health System, for the entire second floor of the 32,052-square-foot property.
Meridian entered escrow on the property in September 2025 and worked with the City of Pasadena to update its zoning code to permit medical office use as a conforming use within the applicable zoning district. As part of the repositioning effort, Meridian has arranged a new 10-year lease with The Huntington Medical Foundation covering approximately 10,619 square feet on the building’s second floor.
