For sale signs have been posted in the windows of Sahara, a restaurant and hookah lounge at 813 W. Grace St.

A call to the number listed on the signs was answered by a man identifying himself as the owner of the property, but he would not give his name or go into detail about his plans for the building.

The restaurant sued the university in 2012 because two neighboring VCU construction projects were allegedly disrupting its business. The case was voluntarily dismissed, according to court records.
