LeBlanc acquires two Main Street buildings downtown for $1.23M

Gordon LeBlanc Jr. has added two more downtown buildings to his investment portfolio after purchasing 626 Main St. for $700,000 and 640 Main St. for $530,000 in separate transactions, according to records filed with the East Baton Rouge Clerk of Court. Both buildings were purchased from the families of Morris and John Butler, Mary Sue Stages, and Elizabeth and Nanette Nealy. LeBlanc owns several downtown properties with Tom Adamek, a business partner. One of the buildings, which is on the same block and houses Cumulus Media, was purchased at the beginning of the month for $1.28 million. LeBlanc and Adamek also own the roughly 4,000-square-foot building at 336 Third St. that was formerly the longtime home of the Riverside Patty restaurant. It is unclear if Adamek is involved in the latest purchases. Neither Adamek nor LeBlanc could be reached by this afternoon’s deadline for details on plans for the buildings. —Kelly Connelly
