Saint Joseph’s University has acquired an 11.6-acre property on City Avenue from the Sisters of the Visitation for $15 million as it expands its footprint amid campus master planning.

The parcel sits at 5848 City Ave., adjacent to property that houses the school’s Maguire-Wolfington Welcome Center and its Career Development Center at the corner of City and Cardinal avenues. It gives the school more than 20 contiguous acres backing up to Philadelphia’s city limits. The Sisters of the Visitation had owned the property since 1940, according to property records.
