Property Description
Located in the rapidly developing South Kensington neighborhood, this impressive community center encompasses over 23,000 square feet of versatile space. Originally built as the regional headquarters for a national nonprofit organization, the property has since been repurposed to serve as a vibrant community center and active house of worship, reflecting the area's growing cultural and residential diversity.
The property features a combination of one-story and three-story structures, along with a full basement, all designed for single-tenant use. The sale includes seven contiguous parcels, one of which offers a large private parking lot—a rare and highly desirable amenity in this part of the city. This provides excellent accessibility for visitors, congregants, or future residents, enhancing the overall utility and redevelopment potential of the site.
Zoned RM-1, the district supports moderate- to high-density, multi-family residential development, making this property an ideal candidate for adaptive reuse or redevelopment. The zoning encourages residential communities with a mix of building types, allowing for apartments, condominiums, or mixed-use concepts that can blend housing with community amenities.
Although public records currently classify the property as commercial, the zoning designation reverted to residential after permits and occupancy documentation were not kept current. This transition aligns with the city's long-term planning goals for the neighborhood, which favor residential growth and revitalization. With proper permitting and redevelopment, this site holds significant potential to contribute to South Kensington's ongoing transformation into one of Philadelphia's most dynamic urban communities.
