Continental owned the site for more than 18 years, and had long planned to replace the Santa Anita Inn with two larger Marriott hotels, but the plans never came to fruition.

Chateau’s portfolio includes the Province, a mixed-use condo project in San Gabriel that is expected to be completed this spring, according to its website. It is not affiliated with the famed Chateau Marmont.

Continental owns a strip mall in La Puente and a multifamily building in Glassell Park.
