A major local landlord has parted ways with a chunk of his holdings in the Fan and Museum District.

Manuel Loupassi last month sold a portfolio of seven buildings housing nearly 102 apartments for about $16.7 million. The buyers were entities tied to local businessman and landlord Walid Daniel, according to city property records.

The Aug. 8 sale included buildings housing walk-up efficiencies at 707 N. Colonial Ave.; 3001 Monument Ave.; 800 N. Sheppard St.; 2614, 3301 and 4309 Grove Ave.; and 3425 Kensington Ave. The sale also includes a vacant 0.08-acre lot at 4311 Grove Ave.

The eight properties were assessed at a combined $13.6 million, according to property records.

Daniel and Loupassi could not be reached for comment last week.

Daniel’s other holdings include a row house development that went under construction last year.

Broker Jerry Ford of One South Commercial represented Daniel in the deal, while Braxton Pollard of Pollard & Bagby Inc. represented Loupassi.

The building at 3425 Kensington Ave. has been sold to Daniel.

Pollard & Bagby will continue to lease and manage the apartment properties under Walid’s ownership, a company representative said.

Loupassi has at least one other notable sale in the works.

The long-time property owner, who immigrated to Richmond at age 21 and started out as owner of the Robin Inn restaurant near Park Avenue and Robinson Street, is under contract with an undisclosed buyer to sell his retail building at 2923 W. Broad St. in the Museum District.

He put the building, which houses Gusti Restaurant Equipment & Supply, on the market last year as part of a nine-property, 0.68-acre assemblage, which also includes 2901-2921 W. Broad and 2906-2918 W. Grace streets. The asking price was $5.5 million.

Gusti is planning to vacate the site this year after a nearly 30-year run at the location in favor of a new home it purchased at 1901 Dabney Road in Henrico County last spring for $2.5 million.

Fact check: family BOUGHT the Robin Inn. Mr Loupassi had another restaurant in the Bottom he started close and he then took over the Robin Inn. They didn’t change the name because of the cost of the sign. Robin Inn’s own website tell the story very well.
