4800, 4801, and 4803 Woodland Avenue is a premier mixed-use value-add portfolio in Philadelphia’s highly desirable University City neighborhood. The Portfolio consists of 11 apartment units and four fully occupied commercial storefronts totaling ~5,500 square feet.
Situated along the high-visibility Woodland Avenue corridor, the asset is uniquely positioned within one of the city’s strongest, most resilient rental submarkets. The neighborhood benefits from a diverse employment base and robust long-term demand driven by its immediate proximity to major institutional anchors, including the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Penn Medicine, St. Joseph’s University, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Science Center. Further, the Property offers excellent walkability, transit-oriented connectivity, and seamless vehicular access to Baltimore Avenue, Grays Ferry Avenue, Interstate 76, and Center City Philadelphia.
The Portfolio offers significant value-add potential and financial upside. While current ownership has maintained 100% occupancy across both the residential and commercial components, substantial upside remains through strategic modernization and operational optimization. The residential unit mix includes (9) one-bedroom and (2) two-bedroom apartment units with an average in-place rent of just $786 per month. With several one-bedroom units currently rented between $500 and $750 - compared to neighborhood market comparables achieving $1,095 to $1,850 per month - new ownership can realize significant rent premiums through targeted interior renovations to kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and common areas. Investors can further enhance operations by implementing a tenant utility reimbursement program for water and sewer expenses.
Coupled with a stable, diversified commercial income stream that offers future mark-to-market lease opportunities, the Woodland Avenue Mixed-Use Portfolio represents a rare chance to acquire a cash-flowing asset with steep value-added upside in an irreplaceable, rapidly growing location.
