Harbert Realty Services along with partners Friedman Realty and Gladstone Partners announces the acquisition of the former Yeilding Department Store Building. The Yeilding, a historic building at the intersection of 2nd Avenue North and 22nd Street in the heart Birmingham’s 2nd Avenue Entertainment district, is the former home of the Yeilding’s Department Store. Yeilding’s was founded in 1876 by William Hood as Birmingham’s first department store. In 1911 the Yeilding Brothers Company moved the growing store to a 3-story building designed by architects Miller, Martin and Lewis on 2nd Avenue North. The new ownership group plans an innovative and extensive historic renovation to return the Yeilding to its prominence in the heart of Downtown Birmingham’s 2nd Avenue district.
