About 209-15 Fairmount Ave
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire two contiguous CMX-2.5 zoned properties in the heart of Northern Liberties, combining stabilized income with long-term flexibility. The portfolio includes the mixed-use commercial building at 209–215 Fairmount Avenue and the adjoining parcel at 705 N American Street, together providing a 7,550 SF combined footprint — a scale increasingly difficult to assemble in the neighborhood. The property is leased through December 31, 2026 and produced $228,998 in total income in 2025. After full operating expenses, including property taxes, the asset generates approximately $203,500 in Net Operating Income, representing a 5.8% cap rate at the offering price. The existing lease term provides stable income while a buyer evaluates long-term plans and pursues planning or entitlement work, with a defined transition point at the end of 2026. The tenant has expressed interest in renewing; however, any future lease extension would be subject to negotiation with the new owner. This structure provides flexibility for continued income stabilization or repositioning following the current lease term.
