About this home
John Jordan Historic Condominium Building – Mixed-Use 5-Unit Investment Opportunity in the Heart of Old City
Welcome to 239 Race Street, part of the historic John Jordan Condominium Building, a rare mixed-use property located near the corner of 3rd and Race in the heart of Old City. This well-maintained, condo’d five-unit building includes five residential condominiums, a commercial office space, and an additional 735 sq ft of cellar storage — making it ideal for investors or owner-users seeking flexibility and long-term upside in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods.
The total building square footage is approximately 5,895 sq ft. Residential units are a mix of 1- to 3-bedroom layouts, many occupied by long-term tenants, providing immediate income stability with significant potential for rent growth over time. The ground-floor commercial office makes this a true mixed-use asset, perfect for a professional looking to operate their business on-site or lease it out for additional income.
Zoning: CMX-3
This highly desirable CMX-3 zoning may allow for additional development potential. Future owners have the opportunity to increase the building’s square footage by expanding existing units, adding more units, or pursuing a vertical or rear extension — maximizing the property’s value and income potential.
