Property Description
Positioned in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after locations, 2017 Sansom Street presents a rare opportunity to own a designer-curated property offering exceptional flexibility, scale, and parking in the heart of Center City. The expansive first-floor space features dramatic 14-foot ceilings, making it well suited for a wide range of uses-including restaurant, professional offices, creative headquarters, retail, wellness concepts, galleries, or a boutique office environment, while allowing ownership in a prime corridor where leasing costs continue to rise. Front and rear street access and as-of-right zoning permitting virtually any use provide long-term adaptability, including approximately 300% buildable FAR (up to 9,000 SF) for future expansion. Blending historic character with modern sophistication, the property showcases exposed brick, soaring ceilings and strong street presence near Rittenhouse Square. The upper level is a custom renovated space that spans nearly 3000 square feet . Architectural highlights include exposed wood beams, a striking glass-encased indoor arboretum, and multiple open areas designed for collaboration, meetings, or entertaining. A high-end kitchen supports staff and client hospitality, while spa-inspired bathrooms and premium finishes elevate the overall experience. Whether envisioned as a boutique office, creative or professional headquarters, or another innovative concept, 2017 Sansom Street delivers unmatched versatility, parking, and design in one of Philadelphia's most dynamic locations. Taxes and square footage are the responsibility of the buyer to verify independently. Live on the 2nd floor and run your business on the first floor!
