Another chunk of Eck real estate empire sells to local buyer for $6M

Richmond, VA. – A bigger deal is still pending, but a small piece of the Eck family real estate portfolio has been snagged by a local investor.

Nine properties along West Main and Cary streets — highlighted by the 15,000-square-foot Social Security Administration office building at 1834 W. Cary St. — sold last week for a total of $5.9 million.

Praveen Gupta, a Henrico-based investor, bought the properties from Eck Enterprises, the family business of the late Edgar Eck Jr., who redeveloped dozens of buildings in the Fan in the 1980s.

The deal included 1715, 1719, 1723 and 1727 W. Main St., as well as 1504, 1518, 1520, 1603 and 1834 W. Cary St.

The Ecks’ 150-plus property portfolio hit the market earlier this year and the bulk remains under contract to be sold to a single mystery buyer.

Commonwealth Commercial’s Kit Tyler, who has the listing with colleague Nash Warren, confirmed this week that most of the Eck portfolio remains under contract and scheduled to close by the end of 2021.

Sauer Center’s first phase fills out

Posted on 10/06/2021 by Mike Platania at Richmond BizSense

All of the office space in The Sauer Center’s first phase has now been spoken for, with a firm that’s closely familiar with the project snapping up its last bit.

L.F. Jennings has signed a lease to move its local headquarters to The Sauer Center, the Whole Foods-anchored development from Sauer Properties across Broad Street from the Fan.

The general contracting firm is taking 4,300 square feet of office space at 2000 W. Marshall St., joining tenants like IT firm SingleStone and fellow general contractor Barton Malow. Sauer Properties’ own office is also based out of the trapezoidal building near the intersection of West Marshall Street and Hermitage Road.

Though its company headquarters are in Northern Virginia, L.F. Jennings’ local home base has been in the Glen Forest Office Park in the West End for over a decade.

The company already knows The Sauer Center well, as it’s been the project’s general contractor since it kicked off in 2017. Frank Martino, L.F. Jennings’ Central Virginia director, said they’re excited to make Sauer Properties a neighbor and landlord, in addition to a client.

Carytown to get a new bagel shop

Posted on 10/04/2021 by Mike Platania at Richmond BizSense

Another bagel shop is rolling into the city, this time in Carytown.

Chewy’s Bagels, which has been a pop-up shop and wholesaler since its launch in 2019, is preparing to open at 3138 W. Cary St. in Cary Court.

Ashley Cricchio, a Maine native and VCU alum, started Chewy’s two years ago, selling her sourdough bagels initially at Outpost Richmond in Forest Hill.

She expanded to selling wholesale to local markets like Union Market, Little House Green Grocery and Ellwood Thompson’s. In the spring she moved into commissary kitchen and food business incubator Hatch Kitchen in South Richmond, while keeping the idea of her own shop in the back of her mind.

“I had known that I was going to start outgrowing Hatch soon after I moved into one of their rooms. I’ve been feeling kind of the pressure of growth since moving in in the spring,” Cricchio said.

“Making bagels is really equipment-intensive and labor-intensive,” she said. “I was willing to make it work until the right place came along.”
