101 West Avenue in Jenkintown, a three-story, 84,210 sf office building, was brought to market for sale yesterday and will soon be welcoming a new tenant.

Brett Fox of M.S. Fox Real Estate Group, who serves as the property’s listing broker, said the sale does not have a formal list price. Current tenants will stay if and when the property is purchased.

“We’re looking at potentially upwards of $9 million for it, though that’s not the asking price,” he said, noting that the property “could go to an investor or a user that wants to occupy 20,000 sf or so.”

The 3.35-acre building was last up for sale in 2024 and includes 287 covered and open-air parking spaces. 

Tabor Services recently signed a lease at 101 West Avenue and are expected to be fully moved in by February, Fox said. The nonprofit will backfill 9,200 sf of the former Lincoln Investments space. Lincoln Investments relocated their headquarters to Fort Washington around 2017.

“They were founded in Elkins Park well over 100 years ago, so they’re sort of coming back to their roots,” Fox told Glenside Local. “This will serve as their Montgomery County headquarters.”

Tabor Services, Inc.(Tabor) is a non profit family of organizations that provides critical social support services to children, youth and families throughout Pennsylvania. Tabor began as an orphanage for children in 1907. It was the vision of Mrs. Emma Chidester of the Tabor Evangelical Church in Philadelphia to open her home in Cheltenham,  PA to disadvantaged children and was officially named Tabor Home for Needy and Destitute Children. In 1913, Tabor  acquired land  from Mr. Philip H. Fretz and  relocated to Doylestown, PA and established itself  as a well-known and highly regarded safe haven for children. The philosophy of Tabor at the time was to keep family; specifically siblings together. This was achieved by accepting children of all ages and genders. As years progressed and child welfare needs and laws changed, Tabor transitioned into a  community based model of service delivery thus discontinuing it’s congregate care program in 1988. More than 115 years after Mrs. Chidester’s vision, Tabor has expanded to provide services and programs for Bucks, Philadelphia and surrounding counties. To date, Tabor touches the lives of 1500 children, youth and families annually.
