Overview
222 Church Street is a 6-story elevator apartment building with a stately redbrick facade and 45 total units, anchored by three ground-floor commercial spaces. The residential mix includes studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. Select units feature private balconies on the north side of the building and private decks on the west side, along with details such as hardwood floors, exposed brick and beam elements, and up to 20-foot ceilings in select units. Interiors include central HVAC and updated appliances, with lofted layouts available in select apartments.
The property sits on a massive ±1.25-acre lot that runs street-to-street from Market to Church, with ±167 feet of frontage on Old City Market Street. A cobblestone entry is located via Church Street. Zoning is CMX3, which may support “air-rights” vertical enhancement and short-term stay accommodations by-right. Public transit is nearby at the 2nd Street Station on the corner of Septa’s Market-Frankford line.
For operators and buyers, the combination of residential living space and street-level commercial activity creates an income-producing mixed-use profile, while the unit variety and private outdoor spaces can support a range of tenant preferences. The CMX3 zoning also provides additional pathways for how the property may be used and developed, including short-term stays and potential vertical expansion, subject to applicable approvals.
