Property Description
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.
