MBK RENTAL LIVING ANNOUNCES PRE-LEASING AT 292-UNIT LUXURY APARTMENT COMMUNITY IN DUARTE, CALIFORNIA
Solana at Duarte Station is located steps from the City of Hope Metro Gold Line Station
DUARTE, Calif. (January 21, 2025) – MBK Rental Living, a leading innovator in private real estate development, has announced the commencement of pre-leasing at Solana at Duarte Station. Located in Duarte, California adjacent to the prestigious City of Hope Medical Campus and the Duarte Station neighborhood, the 292-unit, five-story luxury apartment community includes a mix of apartment types wrapped around an eight-story parking structure on 3.43 acres. Solana will be moving residents in by the end of February.
“We are pleased to introduce our second apartment development in Duarte, a significant step in our commitment to this vibrant and growing city,” stated Ken McCarren, President of MBK Rental Living. “Building upon the success of our Esperanza community, these additional residences will contribute to addressing Duarte’s pressing housing needs. We eagerly anticipate welcoming our first residents to Solana and witnessing the flourishing of this new community.”
Appealing to a diverse range of renters—from students and families to professionals and empty nesters—the community offers a range of loft layouts and studio, one-, two-, and three-, and four-bedroom apartments. Each unit is thoughtfully designed with open floor plans, abundant natural light, and oversized, double-pane, low-E windows. Select floor plans feature modern conveniences such as kitchen islands, private patios or balconies, and walk-in closets.
Solana offers a unique living experience inspired by the tranquil beauty of Tulum, Mexico. Residents will enjoy lush landscaping, warm color palettes, and a resort-style atmosphere. The community’s design evokes a sense of calm and relaxation, making it feel like a vacation getaway rather than a traditional apartment community. Amenities include a tropical-inspired pool and spa, indoor/outdoor spaces with fire pits, state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, dog-friendly indoor lounge, a dog park, a dog spa, and multiple co-working spaces. A lush central courtyard offers BBQs, a pizza oven, and hammocks and lounge seating throughout.
The wrap-style development, which began construction in December 2022, is adjacent to MBK Rental Living’s 4.3-acre Esperanza at Duarte Station, which celebrated its grand opening in March 2023.
Solana is a transit-oriented development located along the vibrant interstate I-210 corridor and just steps away from the City of Hope Metro Gold Line Station. The community is only 11 miles from downtown Pasadena and 22 miles from downtown Los Angeles to the west, and 27 miles from Ontario International Airport to the east. Solana is also near many entertainment hubs and popular retailers including Target, Trader Joe’s, and Walmart. Residents will enjoy convenient access to prominent universities, employment centers, and community services including City of Hope, a 120-acre comprehensive cancer treatment center. Additionally, historic Route 66 and the time-honored towns of Monrovia and Bradbury are just minutes away.
Solana at Duarte Station is a joint venture of MBK Rental Living and Haseko Corporation. Project partners include construction manager R.D. Olson Construction, TCA Architects, landscape architect MJS Landscape, interior designer Design-Art, and property manager Greystar.
