Property Description
This five-unit mixed-use building is located at 146 N 5th Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, within the Callowhill Historic District. Zoned CC – Commercial Core, the property sits in the heart of the downtown corridor and benefits from flexible zoning intended to support dense residential, retail, and service-oriented uses.
The building includes four one-bedroom apartments arranged over three upper floors, providing consistent residential income. The ground floor is occupied by an operating beauty salon that has been a tenant for over six years, offering established commercial tenancy at street level. This configuration makes the property well-suited for investors seeking stable mixed-use cash flow in a historic urban setting.
CC (Commercial Core) Zoning – Examples of Permitted Uses
Apartments and mixed-use buildings with residential above commercial
Retail shops and personal service businesses (salon, barber, dry cleaner, etc.)

Art, craft, and gallery uses
Offices, business services, and printing services
Civic, cultural, and entertainment uses (theater, performance space)
This zoning flexibility, combined with long-term commercial tenancy and multiple residential units, positions the property for both continued operation and future redevelopment potential.
