For Lease: Office/retail space in Glenside
A 3,850 sf office/retail space is available for lease at 357 Highland Avenue in Glenside. According to the listing, the space exists on the first floor. Built in 1940, the building was originally constructed and operated as an electrical switching station for PECO Energy, and its construction reflects that utility-grade origin. The structure is solid masonry with thick load-bearing walls, tall ceiling clearances, and large window openings that bring in significant natural light — features that are difficult and costly to replicate in new construction. The building’s original purpose also left it with a robust electrical service and power distribution capacity well beyond what is typical for a space of this size, making it particularly well suited to tenants with above-average power demands.
