LUXURY PROPERTY AUCTION: JUNE 17-30. Accepting Starting Bids through 16 June. Starting Bids Expected Between $1M-$1.75M. Earn an incentive by 16 June. An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Philadelphia’s most architecturally significant buildings, steps from Rittenhouse Square. Designed in 1902 by Horace Trumbauer, architect of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the five-story Edward C. Knight Mansion was conceived in the 18th-century French Beaux-Arts tradition and has never lost its grandeur. The building’s most celebrated feature is its four-story elliptical Carrara marble staircase, crowned by an oeil-de-boeuf skylight. The façade retains its original ornate wrought-iron balconies and gates, crafted by master metalworker Samuel Yellin. Interior spaces are generous, light-filled, and adaptable. Commercially zoned and currently configured for professional office use, the property offers compelling mixed-use potential - whether repositioned for boutique hospitality, luxury residential conversion, creative office, or a flagship retail or gallery concept befitting its address and pedigree. Over a century of distinguished ownership, including use as a private art museum and civic institution, has only deepened the building’s provenance. Properties of this caliber and location rarely come to market.

Adaptive Reuse Development Opportunity 48 Apartments| 4720–30 Stenton Ave | Wayne Junction, Philadelphia Positioned in the emerging Wayne Junction / Germantown Avenue corridor, this offering presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a ±16,000 SF industrial/warehouse asset (circa 1920) situated on approximately 0.33 acres, with zoning approvals in process for a thoughtfully designed 48-unit multifamily development with ground-floor commercial space. The proposed redevelopment program includes a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences, complemented by off-street parking, elevator access, and a roof deck amenity—aligning with current market demand for well-located, transit-oriented housing. The property benefits from its proximity to the ongoing revitalization along Germantown Avenue and the broader Wayne Junction district, where significant public and private investment continues to enhance long-term fundamentals. Immediate access to regional rail, SEPTA transit lines, and major thoroughfares further strengthens the site’s appeal. This is a rare opportunity to secure a scale-appropriate adaptive reuse project with approvals underway, offering a clear path toward execution in one of Philadelphia’s evolving submarkets.

Extending to well-qualified investors the unique opportunity to acquire the fee simple interest in 1118 Walnut (the “Property” or “Asset”). The Property is a 10,000-square-foot commercial building zoned CMX-4 in the Midtown Village neighborhood of Philadelphia. This section of Center City is the most institutionally invested area in all of Urban Philadelphia. The East Market Project, culminating with the construction of the Thomas Jefferson Special Care Pavilion, marks over $1B invested in the surrounding blocks. The Property is directly East of Rittenhouse Square and one block from Jefferson University Hospital, positioning it to be redeveloped for a multitude of uses. 1118 Walnut is ripe for repositioning. The street retail space could feature anything from food service to retailers. The upper floors are elevator-served and could host any business that is looking for proximity to Ed’s and Med’s, but does not need street-level exposure. The fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment is a full-floor apartment and offers a penthouse-like feel with vaulted ceilings and direct elevator access into the unit. The Property’s upper levels could also be developed into apartment units, while leaving the street retail for a commercial tenant. Essentially, 1118 Walnut is a blank canvas with permissive zoning, historic charm, and a prime location. The Asset is located minutes from major thoroughfares such as I-76, I-676, and I-95, providing unparalleled access to the Philadelphia MSA. It is also transit-oriented to allow tenants access to public transportation via the 11th Street Station on the Market-Frankford Line, as well as numerous bus and trolley stops carrying commuters throughout the Philadelphia Region.

Own a Living Piece of Philadelphia History: 251–253 S. Camac Street offers a rare opportunity to own a 5-story, 5,542 SF historic building on Philadelphia’s only wooden-block street, affectionately known as “The Little Street of Clubs.” Once home to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and later a restaurant, this versatile property is rich with cultural significance and timeless character. Located in the heart of Washington Square West, just steps from Spruce and Locust Streets, this building is surrounded by Philadelphia’s most cherished creative institutions—the Plastic Club, Sketch Club, and Franklin Inn Club—which helped shape the city’s artistic and intellectual legacy. Adding to its remarkable history, the property’s basement is believed to have been part of the Underground Railroad, tying it to one of the most meaningful movements in American history. With flexible multi-story layouts, original architectural details, and a premier walkable location, this property is ideal for a boutique firm, restaurant, gallery, or co-working/shared office concept. Its artistic past and modern potential create endless possibilities for investors and owner-users seeking a space that blends heritage with opportunity. Camac Street’s quiet, European ambiance offers an oasis in the heart of Center City—just moments from City Hall, Broad Street, and Jefferson Hospital. This is more than real estate; it’s a chance to own a piece of Philadelphia’s cultural soul and continue the legacy of creativity, collaboration, and courage that has defined this street for more than a century.

Rare ±1.6-acre heavy-industrial parcel with direct I-76 frontage in South/Southwest Philadelphia. Zoned I-3 (Heavy Industrial), the property offers immediate highway access, excellent visibility, and convenient proximity to Philadelphia International Airport, Center City, and major redevelopment projects. The site straddles the red-hot Bellwether District and is also near the Quartermaster redevelopment, supporting long-term demand, value growth, and broader commercial activity. Located within a long-established industrial corridor with minimal residential adjacency, the site is ideal for salvage, towing, recycling, automotive, contractor, or other outdoor-intensive industrial uses. Truck-friendly streets and decades of continuous automotive use help reduce entitlement risk and support continued operations. As centrally located heavy-industrial land with direct highway exposure becomes increasingly scarce, 2501 S 28th Street presents a rare infill opportunity with strong land value, excellent logistics, and long-term investment potential.

This is a semi- turn key investment and a rare development opportunity. The front front occupy 108 feet of prime Broad Street with a slow moveing bus lane which help customer to use the stores. All stores face broad street and next to a public transportation hub namely Onley/Broad St septa and bus station or the hospital. The location is really super. This building was relatively new as it was built in the late 1970s. The structural backbones are still very solid. The upstairs can be converted to many residential units for the hospital staff using as their lunch time resting places or clinical offices. Albert Einstain Medical Center is right next to this building too. The owner is a long retired lady with no extra energy to renovate or develop the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. Please do not talk to the store owners.
