S.V.P. Matt Wolf Handles Exclusive Sale of 37 Units in Lancaster County

Woodbridge, N.J., April 12, 2022 – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent sale of Fulton Market Apartments, a 37-unit apartment building at 417 East Frederick Street in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for $5,825,000.

Kislak marketed the property on an exclusive basis on behalf of the seller, Fulton Market Property, LP, with senior vice president Matt Wolf handling the assignment, and he also procured the purchaser, which was not disclosed.

Located in the Ross neighborhood of Lancaster, the property consists of two buildings – the first built in the Colonial Revival style in 1909 containing 31 units, was redeveloped in 1993; and the second building constructed at the same time as the redevelopment of the original building, consists of six townhouses.

Mr. Wolf commented, “This was a great opportunity to reposition the property and capitalize on the growing demand for residential housing in the city of Lancaster.”

With rents at below market value at the time of the sale, the apartments provide a value-add opportunity to increase rental income with the renovation of kitchens and bathrooms.

The property’s spacious units range in size from 1,200 to 1,600 square feet and the unit breakdown includes 32 two bedroom units with 1.5 bathrooms and five three bedroom units with 2.5 bathrooms. The original 31 units redeveloped in 1993 contain original wide, wood plank flooring, in-unit washers and dryers, separate hot water heaters and HVAC units. The townhouse units contain in-unit washers and dryers, individually metered water and gas HVAC units, and two-car garages. The property contains an additional parcel located across the street at 452 East Frederick Street, which is used mainly for off street, resident parking.

Ideally situated just northeast of downtown Lancaster, the Ross neighborhood, named after George Ross, a member of the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, hosts historic homes and many period apartments, lofts, and townhomes renovated throughout the area. Home to Lancaster General Hospital, one of the largest employers in Lancaster County, the neighborhood affords easy commutes for residents. Among other attractions, it offers restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops within walking distance of Ross and convenient access to Clipper Magazine Stadium, Sixth Ward Park, and Lancaster Science Factory.
