4450 Temple City Boulevard

A four-unit building, and the paperwork that splits it

Four condominium units are under construction at 4450 Temple City Boulevard. The building was permitted in 2025 at a valuation of about $1.44 million, and work is already underway. What went to the Planning Commission in May 2026 was not the building — it was the paperwork that turns it into four separately sellable homes. The commission approved that tentative parcel map on May 12, 2026, on a 5-0 vote. The final map was filed on August 6 and is now waiting on the City Council.

What's being built

• Four units on a single parcel, APN 8592-001-023
• Two 5-bedroom and two 4-bedroom units, roughly 1,935 to 2,099 sq ft each
• Three stories, attached two-car garage per unit
• Permitted under two back-to-back permits (B24-47049, B24-47050), issued June 2025

The site and the corridor

Temple City Boulevard is where the city's multifamily activity has concentrated. The clearest comparison is 6119 Temple City Boulevard, elsewhere on the same street, where an 18-unit condominium building broke ground in February 2026 using a 50 percent state density bonus. 4450 did none of that — four units, no density bonus, no affordability requirement triggered. It's the other half of how the corridor is actually densifying: small parcels each adding two or three homes, at a scale that never generates a public hearing about the building itself.

What it signals

Temple City is producing multifamily units in two very different sizes at once, on the same boulevard, under entirely different rules. The 18-unit project needed a density bonus, a tract map, a council vote, and a CEQA finding. This one needed a building permit. Four-unit projects like this sit below most pipeline tracking thresholds and are often the ones missed in a city's own housing counts.
