Description

Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. (“JLL”), a licensed real estate broker, has been retained on an exclusive basis to arrange the sale of 1650 W Girard Avenue (the “Site” or “Property”), a 0.76-acre development site located in the Fairmount neighborhood. The offering presents investors with the opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining developable parcels in Fairmount. Ownership advanced a design (since lapsed) for 209 residential apartment units, 3,335 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and 71 parking spaces, and the Site can accommodate up to 164,895 SF by right. For investors seeking a lower-density, the Site’s size and configuration also lend themselves to a townhome scheme, with preliminary test fits indicating the potential to accommodate approximately 25 townhomes.
