Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This ±28,470-square-foot historic brick building occupies a former power plant associated with the Wilbur Chocolate Factory. Restoration work has retained exposed brick, expansive windows, soaring ceilings, and open floor plates without interior load-bearing walls. The property includes a double-height event venue, professional photo studio, and basement space with 13-foot ceilings. More than 20,000 square feet of space is expected to be immediately usable at closing, while other suites carry short, flexible leases.
The building is located on North 2nd Street in Philadelphia’s Old City, surrounded by restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and transit corridors. Flexible CMX-3 zoning supports office, retail, showroom, production, and hybrid concepts. A restored 200-foot smokestack adds a distinctive architectural element and visible branding surface. The property’s configuration combines character-driven historic features with adaptable space for an owner-user or mixed-use operation.
