With 18 feet of frontage on both North 3rd and North Bodine Streets, the building benefits from abundant natural light from the east and west elevations-an uncommon and desirable feature in urban structures of this kind. Currently configured with a functional freight elevator, the building supports flexible commercial or residential uses and facilitates vertical movement of goods or build-out materials-especially beneficial for a multi-floor retail, office, or live-work concept.Zoned CMX-3, the property is perfectly positioned for a condominium conversion, apartment redevelopment, or mixed-use repositioning. The ground floor is retail-ready, offering excellent visibility and foot traffic, while the upper floors and basement provide significant value-add potential for residential or creative commercial space. Throughout the property, original character blends seamlessly with modern upgrades, preserving key architectural details such as large industrial-style windows, high ceilings, and solid construction. The building has been consistently maintained, presenting a clean slate for developers or owner-users to bring their vision to life. Surrounded by a mix of historic properties and new construction, and just steps from cafes, galleries, and transit, 311 North 3rd Street offers a rare opportunity to own and transform a legacy building in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods.
