Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This multifamily property is already framed for a three-unit layout, with spacious two-bedroom units planned for the second and third floors. The first floor was previously approved for restaurant use, and buyers should verify the current status of any permits with the city. The listing notes there is no power in the building, so a flashlight is recommended for showings.

The property is described as being in Philadelphia’s University City area, positioned along the Lancaster Avenue commercial corridor. Public remarks reference strong rental demand tied to students and young professionals, and mention ongoing expansion of Schuylkill Yards in the surrounding area.

Prospective buyers and developers can evaluate the existing framing and previously approved use as they plan redevelopment for three apartments or a mixed-use configuration, based on their due diligence and permitting requirements.

Key Highlights

  • Prime location in Philadelphia's rapidly growing University City, near Drexel and UPenn.
  • High redevelopment potential along the visible Lancaster Avenue commercial corridor.
  • Framed for a three‑unit layout with spacious two‑bedroom units on upper floors.
