About This Lot

Entitled and Shovel-Ready Residential Development Site in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia County.

Incredible opportunity for builders and investors to deliver four new homes in one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods. Welcome to 265 E Hortter Street, an 8,946 sq ft parcel in Mt. Airy East, fully approved for the construction of four residential units: two detached single-family homes and a twin-style duplex.

This project is 100% shovel-ready with zoning approval, building permits, stamped architectural and structural plans, soils investigation reports, and special inspections already in place. All four homes have been designed with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, garage parking, and flexible floor plans that meet the needs of today’s buyer.

Each home includes 3 stories, a garage, and a footprint optimized for privacy, modern living, and curb appeal. The thoughtful site layout features a widened drive aisle with a setback for ease of entry and maneuverability. Utilities are available at the street, and excavation/foundation plans are already reviewed and approved.

Permits include: RP-2024-003922, RP-2024-003925, RP-2024-003927, and RP-2024-003928. Zoning Permit #1003508 was issued following an approved ZBA hearing, eliminating any delay to break ground. There are no pilot houses or roof decks required by design, making this project compatible with neighborhood context and code requirements.

Located one block from Germantown Avenue, this site is walkable to Adelie Coffee House, High Point Cafe, Wild Hand, Juice Room, and Weavers Way Co-op. Residents enjoy easy access to Wissahickon Valley Park, SEPTA regional rail (Upsal Station), and the shops of Chestnut Hill. The neighborhood continues to attract buyers looking for large-format new construction with outdoor space and walkability.

Recent new construction sales in Mt. Airy East have closed between $650K–$750K, offering a strong exit strategy for build-to-sell, or long-term value for a build-to-hold rental portfolio. Given the city’s limited new housing inventory in established neighborhoods, this project is ideally positioned for success.

Whether you’re a builder looking for your next turnkey spec build or a real estate investor seeking a land development opportunity with clear upside, this property is ready to go.
