Description
5520-22 Harbison Avenue – Exceptional Development Opportunity
Presenting the iconic St. Bartholomew’s Convent Building, a rare marquee development opportunity in the heart of Northeast Philadelphia. Situated on approximately 0.55 acres, the property offers a generous open area fronting Harbison Avenue along with a fully fenced, paved parking lot at the rear.
The existing structure spans 20,151 square feet and is primed for redevelopment. Zoned RSA-3, the site allows for a variety of redevelopment possibilities. Notably, nearby properties have successfully secured zoning variances that expanded their development potential—offering buyers an exciting opportunity to explore creative uses.
In 2019, the Seller obtained zoning and building permits to redevelop the property into office space and single-room occupancy units with a commercial kitchen. Those plans will be included in the sale for interested parties.
This is a rare chance to reimagine and repurpose a landmark property in the rapidly growing Northeast Philadelphia market.
