Surface parking on site for 5 cars offers an extra income source, or could be redeveloped in the future to add additional units. Benefit from a strong tenant base derived from University of Pennsylvania's full-time student population of 23,948 (up 1.65% YOY), as well as 39,000+ individuals employed by University of Pennsylvania, and an overall population of more than 100,000 residents between the 19104 and 19139 zip codes.

Welcome to 1605 Ridge — a 6.69% CAP, boutique multifamily property sited at the prominent Ridge & Parrish corner intersection (at 16th Street) in the booming Francisville submarket of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Spanning 3 property widths (1601-03-05) with soft corner exposure, The Property commands a strong presence on the Francisville streetscape with a brick-clad base and bay windows above. Throughout its operating history, there has been little-to-no vacancy in the building — a testament to the quality of construction, location and spatial quality of the asset. On the ground floor, a neighborhood daycare operates the commercial space, having just exercised their 5-year NNN lease renewal option. Upstairs, there are five (5) oversized apartments, each with unique layouts: one (1) studio, three (3) 2bd x 2ba units and one (1) 3bd x 2ba unit. New Ownership can add a 5th floor “as of right” based on the current zoning in place and increase the density/unit count. Private roofdecks feature prominently in 1601-5 Ridge with Center City skyline views from atop the 4th floor. Located in the Francisville submarket just outside of Downtown Philly, residents of this ±9,000 SF apartment building benefit from proximity to shops, breweries, cafes, grocers, restaurants and multimodal transport options — placing the entire city within reach of 1601-5 Ridge. Invest in a Top-10 USA MSA with the acquisition of 1605 Ridge. Real estate investment demand is largely driven by Philly’s relative affordability as compared to its pricier neighbors to the north (New York, Boston) and south (Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia), with comparable lifestyle standards — connectivity, culture, cuisine and convenience in Greater Philadelphia rival the nation’s leading metros. Investment sales in the Francisville submarket have been surging, largely due to its desirability for young professionals seeking contemporary accommodations in new construction apartments just outside of the downtown urban core.

Introducing" "The Library Tower" assemblage on Irving Street in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a highly coveted CMX4 zoning designation, this premier assemblage of historic properties presents an ideal canvas for historic redevelopment aficionados. Capable of rising 20-storeys high into the sky with up to 128 apartment units, The Library Tower can be treated as several proposed concepts if high-rise development is not preferred. Please request alternative concepts "B" & "C" from listing agent if desired. 1317-21 Irving can accommodate up to 16 apartment units on its own with ±16,340 SF buildable. The historic facades must be preserved due to the Washington Square West Historic District overlay but it creates a distinguishing factor for a totally unique, architecturally-inspired redevelopment. The redevelopment qualifies for a FULL 10 yr tax abatement based on renovations of the existing structures; pay taxes on the present assessed value rather than the value of the improved structure(s). Qualify for lucrative state and federal historic tax credits to offset construction costs (see below for more info). Surrounded by the city's best amenities, transportation hubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, employers, healthcare centers, bars and nightlife, The Library Tower assemblage is a bulletproof real estate investment opportunity in a Top-10 USA MSA. Centrally located in the urban core in the vibrant Midtown Village neighborhood and tucked away on a quiet, residential street with "street to street" access (Irving to Latimer), the site allows for an easy construction process in terms of access/egress for trades and potential cranes on site in the heart of the city — an extreme rarity. Severe high-barriers-to-entry exist in Center City Philadelphia, as the availability of dense urban infill sites wanes due to high rental demand in one of the most historic, yet contemporary and cosmopolitan cities in the nation due to its culture, connectivity, commerce, cuisine, quality of life and top-tier universities, employers, historic sites and professional sports teams.
