Building Excellence through partnership is at the core of every project we undertake. We are proud to announce the completion of River Canyon Affordable Housing in Merced, California. This 156-unit development marks our second successful collaboration with our repeat client, The Richman Group, in the Merced area.
Following the delivery of The Retreat Affordable Housing, Huff Construction led the construction of this expansive residential community. Previously known as Devonwood, River Canyon now provides high-quality affordable housing in Merced for local families and special-needs residents.

Scaling Affordable Housing in Merced
Delivering affordable housing in Merced at this scale requires high operational efficiency. As the general contractor, our team managed the ground-up construction of five 3-story residential buildings. Additionally, we constructed a central community center designed to serve the region for generations.
The project features modern interiors with elevated ceilings and wood plank vinyl flooring. Specifically, our team maintained rigorous quality control at every stage. We focused on everything from the initial foundations to the final interior finishes to ensure we met key milestones with precision.
Comprehensive Amenities & Resident Support
Beyond the living spaces, River Canyon fosters community connection. The site provides 117 units for families and 39 units for residents with special needs. Consequently, the project features a 1-story community building with a professional fitness center and a clubhouse.
Outdoor spaces include a resort-style swimming pool, a playground, a pet run, and EV charging stations. Furthermore, every element of the site was built for durability. This reflects our commitment to building spaces that improve the resident’s quality of life.
Building Excellence Through Repeat Partnerships
Successful projects rely on a foundation of trust. At Huff Construction, over 80% of our business comes from repeat clients. Therefore, our continued work with The Richman Group is a testament to that reliability. By collaborating with AO and our trade partners, we successfully navigated the complexities of this 156-unit development.
Seeing River Canyon open its doors is the ultimate reward for our team’s dedication. We look forward to growing our portfolio and continuing our mission of “Building Excellence” in the Merced community.
