About this home

The Development Math (CMX-2 Zoning Stats)
This isn't just land; it's a blueprint for cash flow. Under Philadelphia’s CMX-2 (Commercial Mixed-Use) guidelines, your vision is backed by robust urban density standards:
By-Right Potential: Build a 3-story mixed-use structure featuring a ground-floor storefront (perfect for neighborhood-serving retail, a "Convenience Store," or a cafe) with two levels of high-end apartments above.
Max Height: 38 feet (Base), allowing for generous ceiling heights and premium loft-style finishes.
Lot Occupancy: Up to 75% for intermediate lots, maximizing your rentable square footage.
Frontage & Depth: Ground floor commercial depth requirements (minimum 30 ft) ensure a functional, tenant-ready retail space that activates the streetscape.
Residential Density: CMX-2 allows for efficient multi-family units (subject to lot area per unit requirements), ideal for the surging rental demand in 19125.
Location & Market Momentum
You are positioned in the "Goldilocks" zone of East Kensington—where the grit of the industrial past meets the high-end polish of new construction.
Connectivity: A "Walker’s Paradise" and "Rider’s Paradise." You are steps from the Market-Frankford Line, whisking tenants to Center City in under 15 minutes.
Neighborhood Synergy: Surrounded by successful anchors like Martha, Philadelphia Brewing Co., and a constant influx of boutique fitness and creative offices.
The 2026 Forecast: With local property values in Kensington seeing significant year-over-year appreciation, this is the time to build. The market is shifting toward transit-oriented, mixed-use living—exactly what this lot offers.
Investment Opportunity: Secure this parcel now to take advantage of the 2026 spring development season. Buyer is responsible for City Certification....
