Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

1006–8 W Lehigh Avenue is a historic, multi-tenant commercial building that was originally structured in approximately 1915 and later operated as the Lehigh Branch of the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society (PSFS), which opened between 1923 and 1924. The first floor is built out as an operational pharmacy with a managerial office, storage room, employee break room, changing room, and additional retail and pharmaceutical space, presented with a grand lobby. A separate space on the first floor includes a doctor’s office with a waiting room and a vaccination room. The second floor was used as a former executive suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings, and the rear also includes three office spaces.

The property is located at the intersection of W. Lehigh and Germantown Avenues in a high-traffic area, close to the Broad Street Line’s North Philadelphia Station and Temple University’s main campus. The offering is described as CMX-2 zoned and includes 7 parking spots in a parking lot behind the building. Large Greek pillars and original hardwood and marble-tiled flooring contribute to the building’s character.

Key Highlights

  • High‑traffic location with CMX‑2 zoning, offering commercial multi‑tenant opportunities and potential for supplemental income through subleasing.
  • Large 5700 sq ft building with existing operational pharmacy build‑out, including retail space, offices, and storage.
  • Historic building with architectural significance, formerly a branch of PSFS designed by prominent architects.
