8th & Hamilton

801 Hamilton Street, Allentown, PA, 18101, US

Description

JLL as the selling agent is pleased to present 8th & Hamilton, a four-parcel development assemblage at 801-813 West Hamilton Street in the heart of Downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania. The 16,617-square-foot site carries 151 feet of frontage on Hamilton Street, the city's main commercial corridor, and sits steps from PPL Center among downtown's office towers, hotels and entertainment venues.


The Property is zoned MX-D, which permits both multifamily and office development as of right. Because the lot is wider than the zoning code's 80-foot threshold, the 14-story height cap does not apply and density is governed by a floor-area ratio of 24. Design documentation for a 21-story, Gensler-designed office tower is available for review upon execution of a confidentiality agreement. Three of the four parcels lie within the Neighborhood Improvement Zone, the state incentive district behind downtown Allentown's redevelopment.


The site sits at the center of the Lehigh Valley, a $57.3 billion regional economy of 708,644 residents with a record 343,975 jobs. Site Selection ranked the region the No. 1 mid-sized U.S. market for economic development in 2025.


8th & Hamilton embodies a compelling prospect for discerning investors seeking to participate in the vibrant Allentown office space market. It offers promising growth potential through strategic repositioning to create stable cash flow and significant appreciation in value.
