an affiliate of Patriot Parking Inc. managing director, Phil Sharrow led the transaction on behalf of SCOPE and the respective deal party. The buyer, a regionally based qualified opportunity fund joint venture, purchased the property with zoning and building permits in place that required revision. The proper - ty was sold with a full ten-year tax abatement and partial construction documents. “The Callowhill project started as a lower density co-living concept with a mas - ter lease from an opera - tor that did not survive the COVID-19 pandemic,” adds Sharrow. “SCOPE worked closely with the seller and its architect to revise the project to a market-rate format and maximize the sale as there was minimal interest in its co-living concept because of various market constraints.” The project site consisted of 20,000 s/f with CMX-4 zon - ing in a qualified opportunity zone. 1201-15 Callowhill sold at $395 per land square foot - age and $55,000 per buildable unit, setting another high- water mark comparable for this submarket. “SCOPE is also affiliated with over 150 units currently under construction at 1201 Vine St. , and 500 N 13th St. , less than two blocks away from the subject property,” comments Sharrow. “On North Broad St., Toll Brothers is cur - rently completing their enve - lope on a high-rise multifamily rental project. Developers see this pocket as a very central neighborhood to Philadelphia that has many of the same cre- ative drivers and features that other rapidly appreciating neighborhoods in major cities were predicated on.” MAREJ
