Just as a new Hammerjacks in South Baltimore gets its liquor license, a former Hammerjacks building is going up for auction.

Owner Richard Naing, who is preparing to retire, has hired Ten-X Commercial to sell the former Hammerjacks building at 316-318 Guilford Avenue in an online auction.

The two-story, 24,254-square-foot building housed a version of Hammerjacks and then a nightclub called Bourbon Street, but is now vacant. The building has no connection to the Hammerjacks project that is planned for 1300-1320 Russell Street and received an arena license last week, save for the Hammerjacks name.

The building is set up to be a nightclub. The sale will begin June 6 and conclude on June 8. The starting bid is $300,000 and the deposit to participate is $10,000.

Naing is selling several other properties in online auctions in early June. The list includes the building containing the Chick โ€œPโ€ restaurant at 202 W. Read Street, the Mount Vernon apartments at 902-904 St. Paul Street and four offices on Pierside Drive. Ten-X is handling those sales as well.
