Property Description

FOR SALE – Prime Mixed-Use Corner Property in Center City Allentown Discover an extraordinary opportunity in the heart of Downtown Allentown. Located at the prominent corner of South 9th and Maple Streets, this ±8,500 sq. ft. mixed-use building offers unmatched visibility and potential in one of the city’s fastest-growing commercial and residential districts. The ground floor features a ±3,865 sq. ft. commercial space, zoned for restaurant use, offering incredible visibility and foot traffic. While it requires renovation, the space presents a versatile opportunity ideal for a wide range of businesses—including a buffet-style restaurant, sports bar, deli, mini-market, grocery store, dental or medical office, wellness clinic, or professional service firm. Its strategic location, across from major parking decks and near several apartment complexes, offers built-in demand and high exposure. Above the commercial space are two updated residential units: a spacious 3-bedroom front apartment and a 2-bedroom rear apartment, both with separate utilities. Approved architectural plans are available for a third 2-bedroom apartment of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. on the second-floor front. Additionally, there is a ground-level facility with a private entrance and basement beneath the rear apartment, offering potential for conversion into a 1-bedroom unit. The property does need some work, but its core structure, layout, and location provide the foundation for significant value creation. Renovating the building exteriors, updating the facade, and completing the two additional units could truly make this property shine and push its value into the million-dollar range. Upgrades already completed include new roofing, plumbing and electrical improvements, and the construction of the two existing residential units. The layout and zoning offer flexibility for mixed-use income and future expansion. Perfect for investors, but not just investors. If you're looking to live at the center of the action, this property offers a truly unique lifestyle opportunity. Located just blocks from the PPL Center, Hamilton Street Sports Arena Complex, and the new Da Vinci Science Center, you’ll be walking distance to Allentown’s best restaurants, shops, cafes, concert venues, movie theaters, and public events. Live in one of the units while earning income from the others, or convert the second-floor front apartment into an expansive, modern luxury residence and enjoy all that Center City has to offer right outside your front door. Need extra space? The layout is ideal. Need a space for your dream storefront or small business? The high-exposure commercial unit gives you instant visibility in a high-foot-traffic zone. Whether you’re a visionary homeowner, entrepreneur, or investor, this property adapts to your goals. The building is surrounded by new development. Just one block south of Hamilton Street and three blocks from the PPL Center, it is surrounded by premier projects. Luxury apartments, Class A office space, new retail, and hospitality projects are transforming the area into a regional destination. With its central location, full corner footprint, mixed-use zoning, and untapped potential, this is a rare opportunity for buyers looking for live/work flexibility, rental income, or long-term equity growth in a thriving urban core.
