LEGACY PLAZA: RIO GRANDE CITY ON 83
The old Whataburger is coming down to make way for the brand new Legacy Plaza, a multi-million redevelopment.
The redevelopment is led by developer Wally Guerra, who intends to transform two parcels into a single master-drive plaza. A key constraint of the project is that the AT&T store must remain operational throughout construction, so the team plans to tear down the former Whataburger structure and rebuild without disrupting business.

The best part? A "first to market" restaurant is already in negotiations to take the anchor spot complete with a 2,500 sq. ft. space and an outdoor patio.

Demolition and site work are slated to begin in May or June 2026, with an estimated construction window of 6 to 10 months.
