Premier San Antonio shopping center trades hands
SAN ANTONIO, May 22, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the sale of The Legacy Shopping Center, a 353,000-square-foot mixed-use lifestyle center located in Far North Central San Antonio.
JLL represented the seller, Santikos Real Estate Services. The buyer was Rio Capital Investments in partnership with Triangle Capital Group.
"San Antonio's retail market continues to show strong momentum driven by population growth and economic diversification," said Whitney Snell, Director at JLL Capital Markets. "Well-located centers like The Legacy at major intersections with solid demographics remain highly sought after by both retailers and investors."
The Legacy is strategically positioned at the northeast corner of US Highway 281 and Loop 1604, one of the most prominent intersections in San Antonio. This prime location provides exceptional visibility and access, drawing visitors from the affluent surrounding neighborhoods of Stone Oak, Encino Park and Bulverde. The center benefits from its proximity to dense residential areas, top-tier employment centers and major hospitality destinations.
San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the United States with a metropolitan population of 2.6 million. The city has experienced significant economic momentum in recent years and is now recognized as a national leader in economic growth. San Antonio boasts a diverse economy anchored by military installations, financial services, life sciences and a rapidly expanding information technology and cybersecurity sector.
Built in 2006, The Legacy encompasses 32.2 acres. Major occupants include Main Event Entertainment, Best Buy, Spec's, Paul Mitchell and Buffalo Wild Wings, attracting 2.8 million visitors annually. The property features a strong national tenant roster representing 48% of total building square footage. The center includes ground floor retail, second floor office space and five pad sites.
The Legacy presents significant upside potential for the new owner, as the separately platted pad sites provide flexibility for individual spin-off opportunities.
