River Ridge Plaza Shopping Center

River Ridge Plaza Shopping Center is a new single-story retail shell building under construction at US HWY 175 in Crandall, Texas. The project covers 9,253 sq ft of floor space and includes a drive-thru component, designed to serve the local community in Kaufman County. This new construction effort is valued at an estimated cost of $2,092,500, placing the project's scale above the median for similar filings in the area.

The development is owned by RR Plaza, LTD, with NCA Partners serving as the design firm of record. Brandon Mark Quimbey is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the project. The structure is privately funded and located on private land for private use. NCA Partners has other TDLR-registered projects in the region, including developments in Melissa, Plano, and Prosper, reflecting a broader portfolio of commercial work.

The project registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in May 2026. Plan review was completed in June 2026, clearing the path for physical work to begin. Construction is scheduled to finish in September 2027, with the start of work set for August 2026. This timeline represents a scheduled build window of 410 days, which is longer than the county median of 242 days for comparable new construction filings.

At $226 per square foot, the project's cost per unit area is above the Kaufman County median of $145 per square foot. The total estimated cost of $2,092,500 is also above the county median of $1,200,000 for new construction projects. These figures indicate a project that is larger and more expensive than the typical retail shell in the region, consistent with its 9,253 sq ft size.

The area surrounding the site has a population of about 7,664 according to U.S. Census estimates for ZIP code 75114. The median household income in this area is $88,839, and the median owner-occupied home value is $275,100. The housing market in this ZIP code is predominantly owner-occupied, with 2,416 housing units recorded. These demographic details provide context for the retail demand the new plaza is intended to serve.

Kaufman County's unemployment rate was 5 percent in June 2026, a figure that is higher than a year earlier. This economic backdrop frames the labor market in which the construction project is taking place. The project's status is listed as Review Complete by TDLR, confirming that the regulatory steps required for construction have been addressed prior to the start of work in August 2026.
