Talk to any VCU student from the 70’s or 80’s about the Village and they’ll immediately think of the original location at 939 W. Grace Street. The most recent incarnation of the Village Cafe is right across the street, and opened in the late 80’s and still a thriving go-to spot for students and residents. Ever since that move the original location, 939 W. Grace has languished.

It shall languish no more.

Richmond BizSense has the details on its purchase and plans.

Crossroads Development manager Scott Coleman, along with the Dikos and Giavos family, on Monday completed their purchase of 939 W. Grace St, formerly home to the Village Café and other restaurants over the years.

Coleman said plans call for using historic tax credits to install a first floor restaurant in the three-story building with three apartments above.

The sales price was $675,000, according to Tom Rosman, who with fellow One South Commercial broker Ryan Rilee and Fred Larmore of Re/Max Commonwealth had the property listed at $595,000.
