Clarifying the La Puerta Property Sale

Trumark Homes closed escrow on the former La Puerta School site (Parcel 2) in February 2025. To clarify, Trumark only purchased Parcel 2—the 9.77-acre site east of La Puerta Sports Park. Parcel 1 (the park) remains owned by Claremont Unified School District and is leased to the City, ensuring it remains a public park.

Both legal parcels currently share a single Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN 8670-003-900), a common practice for publicly owned properties. Now that Parcel 2 has been sold, the County Assessor will issue a new APN reflecting separate ownership, a routine process that typically takes several weeks to months to complete.

We appreciate the community’s interest and are committed to transparency.
