About this property

Investor Alert! 24-hour notice required for all showings. New Construction Duplex | Tax Abatement Through 2035 Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully stabilized, institutional-quality student housing asset just steps from Temple University. Built in 2024, 1542 Fontain Street is a luxury duplex featuring a 3-bed/3-bath unit and a 5-bed/5-bath unit, totaling 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across more than 4,000 square feet. The property is 100% occupied and leased through July 2027, generating $75,600 in annual gross rental income. With modern construction, efficient layouts, and strong in-place cash flow, the asset offers investors immediate yield with minimal operational burden. Designed specifically for the student housing market, both units feature highly desirable 1:1 bedroom-to-bathroom ratios, luxury finishes, central HVAC, in-unit laundry, oversized common areas, and private outdoor space. The lower unit includes a private rear patio, while the upper unit features an exclusive roof deck with skyline views—amenities that consistently drive strong leasing performance and tenant retention. A 10-year tax abatement through 2035 provides a significant ownership advantage, with an estimated remaining tax savings of approximately $80,000. As recent new construction, the property offers minimal near-term capital expenditure requirements and low maintenance costs, enhancing long-term cash flow and investment stability. Located within the Temple University Patrol Zone and just two blocks from main campus, 1542 Fontain benefits from one of Philadelphia's most established off-campus housing markets, characterized by consistent tenant demand, strong occupancy, and proven rent growth. With long-term leases already in place, luxury amenities, and substantial tax advantages, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, cash-flowing asset in one of the city's strongest student housing corridors. This property is being marketed individually and as a package that includes the properties with the following MLS numbers: PAPH2632718, PAPH2632744, PAPH2635058 and PAPH2635078
