4225-31 Chestnut Street presents a rare investment opportunity in the heart of University City - one of Philadelphia's strongest and most rapidly evolving submarkets. The property consists of a ±27,820 square foot office building delivered vacant, offering immediate flexibility for repositioning, adaptive reuse, or full redevelopment. Situated on a sizable lot with high-density zoning (CMX-4) and excellent frontage (±65 ft) along both Chestnut and Ludlow Streets, the site benefits from strong visibility, accessibility (±2 blocks to the 40th Street MFL Station), and proximity to major institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. This property presents the opportunity to generate income while pursuing plans for redevelopment, or obtain a long-term tenant in a core submarket. The site's favorable zoning and surrounding high-demand rental and student housing market further enhance its long-term upside. With exceptional fundamentals, strong surrounding demographics, and limited development-ready sites remaining in University City, 4225 Chestnut Street offers developers a strategic opportunity to unlock significant value through redevelopment or repositioning in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after growth corridors.
