408–410 Chew Ave | Philadelphia, PA

ENDLESS POTENTIAL on an oversized 7,500-square-foot lot! Formerly used as a VFW, 408–410 Chew Ave presents a rare investment and redevelopment opportunity for a buyer with vision.

Currently zoned residential with the City of Philadelphia, the property sits on an enormous lot that you truly need to see in person to appreciate. Depending on zoning approvals and the buyer’s plans, the site could potentially accommodate a larger residential development, multiple homes, or possibly be converted back to a commercial or mixed-use purpose.

The existing building has been boarded up and the property is being offered for its redevelopment potential, substantial lot size, and flexibility of possible future uses.

Whether you're a developer, investor, builder, or business owner looking for a unique Philadelphia property, the possibilities here are extensive. Bring your architect, contractor, and imagination and explore what could be created on this unusually large parcel.

7,500 SF LOT • FORMER VFW • DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL • MULTIPLE POSSIBLE USES

Property is being sold as-is. Buyer is responsible for independently verifying zoning, permitted uses, lot dimensions, development potential, and any required variances or approvals with the City of Philadelphia. Drive by the lot is open to view and if inside access is needed we can coordinate.
