205 Fry Rd, Reading, PA 19606

Description

This property features an exceptional opportunity to acquire 48 acres of land zoned General Commercial, strategically positioned along Interstate 176 in southern Berks County. With outstanding visibility, convenient highway access, and a wide range of permitted commercial and business uses, this property offers scale and flexibility rarely found in southeastern Pennsylvania.

A recent engineering concept demonstrates the ability to create an approximately 14-acre contiguous building pad through conventional grading, making the site well suited for a variety of commercial and industrial development opportunities. Whether your vision includes distribution, flex industrial, business park, self-storage, hospitality, recreation, or a corporate campus, this property provides a strong foundation for large-scale development.
A portion of the property is in the process of being permitted as a fill site, with conceptual plans showing as much as 600,000 cubic yards of capacity, providing major income potential.
The property's General Commercial zoning permits an unusually broad range of uses, including Business Parks and Industrial Parks, while its location immediately adjacent to I-176 provides convenient access to Reading, Lancaster, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Route 422, Philadelphia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.
For buyers seeking long-term strategic value, the property's proximity to major electric transmission infrastructure may present additional future opportunities, subject to utility studies and governmental approvals. A 230 KV line runs through the site, and a conceptual study from First Energy shows 100 MW available with minimal upgrades, and 150 MW also being achievable. A large supply of natural gas is also available, although at significant cost to bring to the site.
Development sites of this size, location, and zoning are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're an owner-user, investor, or developer, this offers a unique opportunity to create a signature commercial project in one of Berks County's most accessible locations. Don't miss the opportunity!
