    What's special

    Mixed-Use Investment Property – 146 N 5th St, Reading, PA This five-unit mixed-use building is located at 146 N 5th Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, within the Callowhill Historic District. Zoned CC – Commercial Core, the property sits in the heart of the downtown corridor and benefits from flexible zoning intended to support dense residential, retail, and service-oriented uses. The building includes four one-bedroom apartments arranged over three upper floors, providing consistent residential income. The ground floor is occupied by an operating beauty salon that has been a tenant for over six years, offering established commercial tenancy at street level. This configuration makes the property well-suited for investors seeking stable mixed-use cash flow in a historic urban setting. CC (Commercial Core) Zoning – Examples of Permitted Uses Apartments and mixed-use buildings with residential above commercial Retail shops and personal service businesses (salon, barber, dry cleaner, etc.) Banks and financial institutions Bakeries and food-related retail (size-limited) Art, craft, and gallery uses Offices, business services, and printing services Civic, cultural, and entertainment uses (theater, performance space) This zoning flexibility, combined with long-term commercial tenancy and multiple residential units, positions the property for both continued operation and future redevelopment potential.
