Description

Very few properties available today have the size, topography, amenities and zoning that offer numerous options to develop, as 5008 E. Penn Avenue, Reading, PA does. This 105 acre, I-1 Light Industrial District zoned property has available municipal water, sewer and UGI gas. With 1,444 feet of frontage along Krick Lane, and a depth of approximately 2,200 feet, forming a near perfect rectangle, this site is ripe for a large corporate campus or institutional master plan setting rarely available today. Located less than 1/2 mile off State Route 422 in South Heidelberg Township, west of Reading Pennsylvania, the site offers convenience to Harrisburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington and New York City. Presently being farmed by the owner, this 105 acres can be purchased with MLS #PABK353082 adding 76.48 acres. Both properties abut along a common property line extending some 1,200+ feet forming a contiguous site with over 182 acres, and frontage on Krick Lane (1,444 linear feet) and to the west on S. Church Road (996 linear feet) in Wernersville.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
