Description:

A confirmed zoning determination has established that 534 W. Broad Street offers up to 1,325 SF of ground floor commercial space available by right under C2 zoning — no township approval required, no conditional use process, no variance. The right exists in the zoning as written.

The property's first floor consists of two adjacent units: the approximately 725 SF former Rita's Water Ice commercial space and the approximately 600 SF Unit 1 with bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and kitchen. Both are permitted for commercial use by right. A buyer may open the connecting wall for one 1,325 SF connected commercial footprint or operate them as two separate units for different commercial tenants or uses.

Unit 1 is currently tenanted residentially at $1,050/month under a grandfathered use. The incoming owner may convert to commercial at lease expiration by right — no approval required. Units 2 and 3 residential ($925 and $1,175/month) continue providing stabilized upstairs income regardless of first floor configuration decisions.

Current gross income $54,600. Going-in NOI approximately $40,950 at 25% expense ratio — 6.5% cap rate at $625,000 ask. Stabilized pro forma improves materially as residential rents reach market and first floor commercial is repositioned.
