ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Delilah’s Den, a former strip club in downtown Atlantic City, is up for auction starting Monday as the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) seeks to offload the shuttered property.
The three-story building, which closed in 2020 when New Jersey shut down entertainment venues during the COVID-19 pandemic, will be sold through an online auction run by Max Spann Real Estate & Auction Co. Bidding begins at $150,000 and will remain open until 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 23 — unless extended by a bidding war.
The CRDA, which regulates development within Atlantic City’s tourism district, purchased the property with the goal of spurring redevelopment in the downtown corridor. The building is located within the district overseen by the authority.
Norman Zimmer, Max Spann’s chief technology officer, confirmed the auction details, saying the sale could be extended beyond the closing time if competitive bidding continues past the deadline.
Delilah’s Den, once a prominent adult entertainment venue in the city, has sat vacant since its closure during the early months of the pandemic.
