$4.5M Warehouse Asks You To See The Forest For The Trees

A cursory glance through Philadelphia's most expensive listings usually takes us on a predictable jaunt through the poshest of Philadelphia neighborhoods. Rittenhouse Square, Avenue of the Arts, etc. It really can get rather dull. But here's a listing that should pique the interest of those of you with a stubborn entrepreneurial streak: this massive warehouse in Northern Liberties Olde Kensington. We can just see you itching to convert this puppy to industrial-chic lofts. The warehouse, asking $4,500,000, has been actively used as a food distribution center for 29 years, and boasts a total square footage of almost 30,000 square feet, and a pretty hot location: it's only four blocks from The Piazza.
