924 Eighth Ave S.
Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach has paid $3.5 million for an Eighth Avenue South property home to a business that offers beer-, wine- and garden-making supplies.
The 0.47-acre property sits on the northeastern fringe of Edgehill at 924 Eighth Ave. S., a few blocks south of downtown. Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound recording studio (where he's worked on records like the Keys' “Let's Rock,” Yola's Walk Through Fire, his own Waiting on a Song and The Pretenders' Alone) is located on an adjacent property at 918 Eighth Ave. S. Auerbach paid $280,000 for that property — its small building accommodates the studio — in September 2010, according to Metro records. Also that year, Auerbach and his Keys bandmate Patrick Carney moved to Nashville.
The just-sold property offers a 1979-constructed 4,800-square-foot building housing All Seasons Gardening and Brewing Supply Co., which is ceasing operations. The property had been listed for sale for $4.5 million. The seller of the 924 property was an LLC that paid $475,000 for it in July 2006, according to Metro records. The LLC seemingly is affiliated with the owners of All Seasons.
Founded in 1998, All Seasons has operated at the site since 2007, having originally been located at Hillsboro Plaza Shopping Center in Green Hills near the Donut Den. Joan Pinkley and Sam Jovanov, brokers with Bob Parks Realty Green Hills, seemingly represented the sellers. The Post was unable to determine who represented the buyer, Easy Eye Sound Trust.
The property sits near a multi-parcel, 3.1-acre site on which a group of local real estate investors is exploring redevelopment options. That 16-parcel site — tentatively envisioned for a mixed-use project that could include office, hotel and retail spaces — has an address of 910 Eighth Ave. S.
