Description:

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Lancaster City, the Masonic Center offers an unparalleled opportunity for investors and developers seeking a property with exceptional visibility, walkability, and accessibility to downtown amenities, businesses, and attractions. This well-maintained structure stands out with 40 dedicated on-site parking spaces—a rare amenity in the city—supplemented by additional public parking in the adjacent Water Street Garage. Zoned Commercial Central Business (CB), the property is ideally suited for a wide array of commercial, institutional, or mixed-use developments, including offices, event venues, and educational facilities. Located within a LERTA zone, it provides significant property tax abatements on improvements, making it especially attractive for those seeking long-term value. The site’s placement in the Heritage Conservation District ensures that any development will harmonize with Lancaster’s rich architectural and cultural character. With a distinguished civic presence and historical significance—President James Buchanan was a member of this Lodge—the Masonic Center delivers a dignified setting for professional, civic, or cultural organizations.
