Anna’s Rosamond Town Center to break ground June 30

Anna is set to add another major shopping draw at Rosamond Parkway and U.S. Highway 75, a sign that the city is moving fast from bedroom community to retail destination for northern Collin County. Rosamond Town Center will break ground Tuesday, June 30, at 10 a.m., and Big V Property Group says officials from the developer, The Seitz Group, Principal Asset Management, Citizens Bank and Anna Mayor Pete Cain are expected to attend.

The open-air center will add more than 355,000 square feet of retail space as part of a broader 750,000-square-foot retail district. Its tenant mix is built around the kind of stores that pull repeat trips from nearby neighborhoods: Academy Sports + Outdoors, Aldi, Burlington, EOS Fitness, Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, PetSmart and TJ Maxx. That lineup points to a project aimed not just at one or two big leases, but at capturing grocery runs, fitness memberships, home furnishings and apparel spending in Anna itself.

Big V and The Seitz Group are developing Rosamond Town Center with a fund managed by Principal Asset Management, and Jeffrey Rosenberg has said the project is moving ahead nearly a year ahead of schedule. Just to the south and across the same corridor, Rosamond Crossing is already under construction as a 175,300-square-foot center anchored by Kroger, with future tenants including Bank of America and McDonald’s. Developers have also described Rosamond Crossing as part of a larger roughly 800,000-square-foot retail venture that occupies both corners of Rosamond Parkway and U.S. 75, a footprint that suggests the commercial buildout is getting harder to miss.

The scale fits the growth story. Collin County’s population rose from 1,254,658 on July 1, 2024, to 1,297,179 on July 1, 2025, while Anna climbed from 31,986 to 35,245 over the same period. The U.S. Census Bureau says Anna’s population increased 105.7% from April 1, 2020, to July 1, 2025, and the city says it is the fifth fastest-growing city in the nation. County materials also say the broader Dallas-Fort Worth region added almost 76,000 residents in the last year, reinforcing the case for more retail, dining and service options along the U.S. 75 corridor. For Mayor Pete Cain, who has called the nearby Kroger-centered project “a great moment in Anna’s history,” Rosamond Town Center looks like the next marker of that shift.
