The 701 S. Myrtle Specific Plan and Development Project is a new mixed-use development in Monrovia’s South Myrtle Avenue Corridor, at the southwest corner of South Myrtle Avenue and Olive Avenue. This corridor is a key area identified in the City's General Plan as a future hub for walkable, mixed-use development that complements Old Town.

The project site is located within the Old Town Extension District, a part of the South Myrtle Avenue Corridor envisioned to expand Old Town’s pedestrian-friendly character with new housing above neighborhood-serving retail. The development would transform a 1.61-acre site into a five-story building containing 204 residential units, including 20 affordable units, approximately 2,370 square feet of commercial retail space, and 2,782 square feet of indoor fitness center space. It also includes 1.5 levels of underground parking with 329 spaces, public and private open space, and a variety of residential amenities.

Two public hearings were held for the project, including at the Planning Commission meeting on November 11, 2025, and at the City Council meeting on December 2, 2025. On December 2, the Monrovia City Council unanimously approved the project.
