Property Description
Set along one of West Philadelphia's most energetic commercial corridors, 709 S. 52nd Street presents a rare opportunity to bring a visionary concept to a fully modernized, three-story structure poised for immediate activation.
Behind its unassuming façade lies a thoughtfully renovated interior configured for office suites, yet intentionally flexible in its design—making it equally compelling for a restaurant, hospitality concept, creative headquarters, or thriving neighborhood business. The heavy lifting has been completed: new plumbing and electrical systems, a new fire escape, two central air units, and a newly installed security camera system establish a strong operational foundation.
Spanning three levels, the property offers scale and vertical presence rarely available on such a high-traffic commercial block, surrounded by established businesses and constant pedestrian and vehicular flow. The space is currently vacant, allowing for immediate customization. Floors are ready for finishing, providing the next owner or operator the opportunity to tailor the final aesthetic to their brand vision with minimal remaining investment.
This is not a speculative shell—it is a near-complete commercial asset awaiting its final expression.
Whether envisioned as a destination restaurant, a flagship business location, or a multi-suite income-producing property, 709 S. 52nd Street stands as a strategic investment in visibility, infrastructure, and long-term value.
A bold location. A modern framework. A blank canvas for what's next.
Zoning is CMX2 however there is a special use permit in place for office space.
