Brandywine Homes has won approval to swap out a hotel for 95 townhomes in Pico Rivera.

The city has signed off on plans by the Irvine-based developer to build the homes at 6540 Rosemead Boulevard, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. The 100-room Knight’s Inn would be demolished.

Plans for the 4-acre site call for 16 rows of three-story townhomes with two-, three- and four-bedrooms, plus parking for 214 cars. Asking prices of the future homes were not disclosed.

The project, designed by Irvine-based Danielian Associates, features white buildings with gabled Spanish-tile roofs, with balconies along the second floor. The gated complex will include a common pool.

Construction is expected to take 32 months. It’s not clear when Brandywine intends to break ground.

The townhome development would be built on the planned route of a rapid transit bus line that would run from East Pasadena to Long Beach.

The city, whose former Ford Motor and Northrop Grumman plants were replaced by a 60-acre Pico Rivera Towne Center 11 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles, plans to revamp its zoning rules ahead of the bus line and a future Metro Rail stop, according to Urbanize.

Brandywine Homes, founded in 1994 by Jim Barisic, works to revamp established neighborhoods with infill housing to replace outdated strip malls, parking lots and empty warehouses across Southern California, according to its website.

Brandywine is now developing townhomes in Whittier, Long Beach and Carson.

In 2021, the firm filed plans to build an 84-unit townhome complex on a 3.2-acre lot once owned by Long Beach’s defunct redevelopment agency at 5801 Atlantic Avenue.
