Bert’s Warehouse, which houses the legendary jazz restaurant in Eastern Market in Detroit, was sold at an online auction last week for $1.985 million, Crain's Detroit Business reports.
A real estate adviser who coordinated the auction declined to identify the highest bidder, writes Kirk Pinho, who quotes him as saying the pending new owner lives and works elsewhere.
Bert Dearing of Bert's lost the building to a foreclosure and was renting it.
He said he isn't going anywhere.
“I’m gonna be here,” he told Crain's. “Everything is in divine order.”
