San Antonio, Texas – A new shopping center named The Shoppes at Babcock is set to open in the summer of 2025, nearly completed, and located at 6410 Babcock Road, near Prue Road. This shopping plaza, spanning approximately 13,051 square feet, is situated on the Northwest side of the city, just a short distance from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). It aims to enhance local amenities and services for residents in nearby neighborhoods such as Country View Village and Tanglewood.

The construction of The Shoppes at Babcock began in December 2025, with an expected completion date around July 15, 2025. The project carries a financial investment of $2.8 million from the involved investors, which will contribute to the overall development of the center.

Currently, construction equipment remains on-site, indicating that work on the shopping center is ongoing. The parking lot, however, remains unfinished as the final details are being finalized. Renderings of the center denote a planned layout that includes customer and employee parking spaces, ensuring convenience for visitors.

Although specific business names remain undisclosed pending negotiations, several establishments are anticipated to open within the plaza. Among them are a pizza restaurant, a coffee shop, and a martial arts school. Notably, the martial arts school will join an existing competitor, Texas Tang Soo Do, located less than a mile away, which has been successfully operating since 1979 and has garnered a high rating on Google Reviews.

The development of The Shoppes at Babcock is part of a broader initiative to improve local infrastructure and services surrounding the UTSA area. This includes a luxury shopping district and a multifamily apartment complex valued at $25 million, both designed to cater to the growing population and enhance the community’s offerings.

As the summer 2025 grand opening approaches, further updates regarding the specific opening date of The Shoppes at Babcock will be provided. In the meantime, local residents can look forward to the new shopping opportunities that the center promises to deliver, contributing to the area’s continued growth and development.
