Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) Executive Managing Director Jeffrey Mack and the NGKF Capital Markets team of Michael Margolis, David Dolan and Brett Segal have been awarded the exclusive listing for the redevelopment of 1100 First Avenue. This property has been recently purchased by Royale Gardens, LP, owned by Vince Piazza. 1100 First Avenue is a premier development site in the heart of King of Prussia, the region’s most vibrant employment, retail and amenities center.
An 18.14-acre development parcel located amidst the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) largest suburban employers, the site is strategically positioned for maximum access to the area’s employment hubs as well as its world-class amenities.
Situated just off of PA Route 422 in the center of the King of Prussia Business Park, 1100 First Avenue is adjacent to I-276 (PA Turnpike), I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway), PA Route 202 and I-476 (Blue Route), which provides unparalleled access to the entire Philadelphia MSA including downtown Philadelphia. The proposed slip ramp from the PA Turnpike (I-276) to First Avenue and Moore Road will improve access from the PA Turnpike and reduce traffic congestion on local roads.
1100 First Avenue’s strategic location creates the ultimate live/work/play environment. An extensive spectrum of over 100 bars and restaurants, over 3 million square feet of office space and 2.5 million square feet of retail locations are located within walking distance of the Property.
Plans for the property include managing the existing building and exploring the development of a mixed-use commercial, professional or medical office component, with potential for multihousing, market retail and/or a boutique hotel.
“This is a rare and unique opportunity,” said Piazza. “You don’t find 18+ acres of developable land in the heart of King of Prussia anymore. I’m thrilled to be part of the redevelopment and transformation of Upper Merion Township.”
