About 1409-17 W Master St
Opportunity knocks in the heart of North Central Philadelphia. Welcome to 1409–17 W Master Street — a ±16,875 square foot CMX-2 zoned property just minutes from Temple University, Broad Street, and Brewerytown. This expansive commercial structure sits on an 5719 SF lot and offers serious upside for developers, investors, or institutional users seeking a value-add opportunity in one of Philly’s most active redevelopment corridors.
The building is being sold as-is, with all contents to remain. No clean-out will be completed, allowing the future owner full control over interior planning and demolition.* The CMX-2 zoning allows for by-right mixed-use redevelopment — ideal for ground-floor commercial with multifamily units above, charter schools, nonprofit offices, faith-based reuses, or community-driven developments. There is no parking requirement for residential units above the ground floor, making the lot even more attractive for creative design strategies.
What makes this location stand out is its unmatched access and neighborhood momentum. Just blocks away from Temple University, the Broad Street Line, and major SEPTA bus routes, the area offers seamless connectivity to Center City and beyond. Nearby neighborhoods like Brewerytown and Sharswood have seen a surge in new construction, with three- and four-story multifamily projects dotting the landscape. Trendy cafes, restaurants, retail spaces, and cultural hubs continue to pop up in all directions, attracting new tenants and long-term residents alike.
This property is one of the few remaining legacy structures at scale in the area — offering solid bones, flexible zoning, and a location primed for transformation. Investors can unlock strong ROI through adaptive reuse, redevelopment, or hold strategies with future appreciation upside.
If you’re looking for space, zoning flexibility, and a location with demand — this is your canvas. Bring your vision and build what's next. *Discuss agent remarks with your agent prior to submitting an offer.
