Halcyon Bike Shop will be staying in 12South long term.
Andrew Parker, owner of the bustling business, recently renewed his lease for the building, a move that followed his mid-2020 $600,000 purchase of a Chestnut Hill property (read here) to which he had considered relocating.
“We anticipated leaving, but our home is 12South and we owe a huge part of our success to the neighborhood’s residents,” Parker said. “So now we need to determine what to do with the Chestnut Hill property.”
Opened in 2008 and with an address of 2802 12th Ave. S., Halcyon ranks as one of the more long-standing 12South businesses. Parker employs nine employees (one part-time and eight full-time). At one time, the property’s owner (20th Century Real Estate Inc.) had looked to reinvent the Halcyon building and an adjacent property.
Relatedly, the owner has offered to lease the property across 12th that long housed 21st Century Christian Publishing Company and Bookstore. However, the owners landed Los Angeles-based boutique menswear brand Buck Mason as a tenant (read here) for the 1119 Halcyon building (last home to M.L. Crawford’s Salon), thus spurring Parker to renew his lease.
Parker said Pat Howell, a C.A. Howell and Company broker who represented both parties in the transaction, was a key in the lease renewal, terms of which are not being disclosed.
“12South has been a great incubator of Nashville businesses, and Halcyon Bike is a strong example,” Howell said. “We’re thrilled to keep them in the neighborhood.”
Howell said the buildings accommodating the bookstore, which sit on a 0.94-acre site between Paris and Dallas avenues at 2809 12th, remain for lease (read here).
C.A. Howell and Company's experience in 12South includes brokering and/or renovating the buildings that house (or previously accommodated) Draper James, Edley’s Bar-B-Que, White Bison Coffee, Marine Layer, Madewell, Corner Music, Fork’s Drum Closet, 12South Dental Studios, Fahrenheit Yoga, Summer Classics, Christie Cookie Company and the Filling Station.
