213 W CHESTNUT STREET, Lancaster, PA 17603

The Masonic Center is a well-maintained property designed to support professional, civic, and cultural uses. The offering includes 40 dedicated on-site parking spaces, with additional public parking available in the adjacent Water Street Garage. The building’s configuration supports institutional and event-style programming, and it offers a distinct civic presence tied to its historical significance.

Located in Lancaster City at 213 W Chestnut Street, the property sits within a Commercial Central Business (CB) zoning framework. The site is also within a LERTA zone, which provides property tax abatements on improvements. In addition, the property is placed in the Heritage Conservation District, so future development is expected to align with Lancaster’s architectural and cultural character.

This property can fit a range of commercial, institutional, and mixed-use redevelopment objectives, including office uses, event venues, and educational facilities, consistent with the stated zoning. The combination of on-site parking, central city zoning, and LERTA abatements on improvements may appeal to operators and developers looking for a centrally located civic building with documented local constraints and incentives. The Masonic Center’s historic association is also part of its established identity, with President James Buchanan noted as a member of this Lodge.
