Residential Real Estate

A local husband-and-wife renovation team is picking up the pace in their effort to breathe new life into some of Richmond’s older homes and neighborhoods.

Three more lawsuits have been filed against Romm Custom Homes, which was sued in May by a couple who alleged the company failed to construct their Wyndham-area home on time and has since abandoned construction.

A prominent downtown department store-turned-apartment building is now in the hands of Richmond’s largest hotel operator.

One of the area’s busiest homebuilders is adding to its workload in the Center of the Universe.

A Lakeside builder is looking across the river for its latest 55-and-up residential development.

The center is planned to consist of a 2,000-square-foot clubhouse, a 5,000-square-foot swimming pool and bath house, and recreation areas on just over three acres.

In one of the priciest home sales in the Richmond area in some time, a nearly 80-year-old home near the University of Richmond was purchased in June for $5.5 million by the son of a prominent local businessman.

Some of the 47 new townhomes will be similar to those built in 2014, with three-bedroom units 20 feet in width and ranging in size from 1,800 to 2,100 square feet.

A mansion for sale in Richmond’s West End just got more affordable – by about $1 million.

The five-bedroom, 5 1/2-bathroom home went under contract in March within a month of its listing, said listing agent Richard Bower of Joyner Fine Properties.
