Property Description
Previously listed at $1.1 million, this rare 10,000+ sq ft corner development site is now available for $975,000 — a significant reduction for one of the most strategically located parcels in West Philadelphia.
Situated at the high-visibility corner of Lancaster Ave and Belmont Ave, this property serves as the gateway to West Philadelphia, connecting University City to City Line Ave. This CMX-2 zoned assemblage includes 4401, 4421, 4423, 4425, 4427 Lancaster Ave and 892–894 Belmont Ave, totaling approximately 10,084 sq ft of land.
Development Highlights:
CMX-2 zoning allows for by-right mixed-use development
Conceptual plans for 25–30 residential units with commercial on the ground floor
Corner lot with double frontage and strong walkability
Potential zoning bonuses for green roof and affordable housing set-aside
Located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ), offering substantial tax advantages
Site is flat and cleared; former gas station tanks have been filled with sand
Transit-Oriented Location:
Immediate access to SEPTA trolley and bus routes
Minutes to University City, Center City, and the Main Line
Easy access to Route 1, City Ave, and I-76
Why QOZ Matters:
Defer capital gains tax until 2026
Reduce gains if held 5–7 years
Pay zero tax on appreciation if held for 10+ years
This is a perfect opportunity for developers or investors seeking to capitalize on the growth of West Philadelphia with a shovel-ready vision in a booming corridor. The surrounding area is seeing ongoing commercial and residential development — this site puts you right in the mix.
