Philadelphia County has 82 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones spanning neighborhoods across North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Kensington, Strawberry Mansion, Germantown, and parts of South Philadelphia. Philadelphia's OZ footprint covers some of the most economically distressed urban neighborhoods in the Northeast, many of which sit in close proximity to world-class anchor institutions including the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Temple University, Jefferson Health, and Penn Medicine.
Philadelphia's OZ investment landscape has attracted significant Qualified Opportunity Fund capital in multifamily housing, life sciences research facilities, and mixed-use development, particularly in University City and the neighborhoods north and west of Center City. Kensington's zones represent the city's most acute distress but also its most significant redevelopment opportunity as the city addresses its opioid recovery and neighborhood revitalization challenges.
What is an Opportunity Zone census tract?
Each Opportunity Zone is defined at the census tract level by the U.S. Census Bureau. Investors must deploy eligible capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) that invests in property or businesses within these designated tract boundaries. The tract GEOID numbers listed above identify each designated zone in Philadelphia County.
How do I invest in Philadelphia County Opportunity Zones?
Investments must be made through a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). Capital gains must be reinvested within 180 days of the gain recognition event. Consult a qualified tax advisor to determine your eligibility and structure your investment. You can also visit our Find OZ Help page to connect with an OZ specialist.
