Big V Property Group, The Seitz Group, City of Anna Break Ground on Rosamond Town Center

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and DALLAS (July 2, 2026) — Big V Property Group, The Seitz Group, Principal Asset Management^® and Citizens Bank joined local and regional officials to celebrate the beginning of construction of Rosamond Town Center in Anna, Texas, on Tuesday, June 30.

Rosamond Town Center is a complementary development to Rosamond Crossing, financed with a combination of developer equity, financing from Principal Asset Management^®, and construction loan from Citizens Bank. Both will be part of a 750,000-square-foot complex in Collin County developed by Big V Property Group, The Seitz Group and Principal.

The North Dallas centers are based in the fastest-growing communities anywhere in the country. In the next 10 years, the population of Anna is projected to grow 13 times faster than the national average and be a connective node in the Metroplex, situated between McKinney and Sherman.

“This is such wonderful, generational thing to build upon what the city of Anna has done. We’re proud to be a part of this,” said Kenton McKeehan, President and Chief Investment Officer of Big V Property Group. “Together, we’ve extended the Metroplex by nine miles.”

To be located at the southeast corner of Rosamond Parkway and Hwy. 75, the 355,826-square-foot, open-air center will be anchored by Academy Sports + Outdoors, Aldi, Burlington, EOS Fitness, Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, PetSmart and T.J. Maxx, and will feature several outparcels and specialty stores.

“I’d like to recognize the incredible team at the City of Anna,” said Danielle Kaufman of Kaufman Consultants, speaking on behalf of The Seitz Group. “Successful developments aren’t just built on concrete and steel; they’re built on partnerships.”

“This is a really, really important milestone for the city of Anna,” said Pete Cain, Mayor of Anna, Texas. “It changes everything — the retail and tax base with 750 jobs coming to us with this development.”

“There is no greater way to celebrate America’s 250^th anniversary than to celebrate the growth that we’re seeing in Texas, because Texas leads the way,” said Texas Representative Keresa Richardson, representing District 61. “Anna is a place to be, and this is such a blessing.”

The development team was given a Congressional Commendation and an accompanying letter from U.S. Rep. Keith Self, (R-TX), presented by District Director Michelle Bishop.

“This is a significant milestone for the city of Anna and a testament to the vision, hard work and leadership that continue to shape one of the fastest growing communities in North Texas,” Bishop read. “The collaboration between the City of Anna leadership, The Seitz Group and Big V Property Group is a model for what can be achieved when public leadership and private enterprise come together with a shared vision.”

Within its portfolio Big V Property Group owns and operates six properties in the Lone Star State, including RIM and Alamo Ranch in San Antonio, Glade Parks in Euless, Deerbrook Marketplace in Humble, Fairfield Town Center in Cypress and Southpark Meadows in Austin.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and DALLAS (June 9, 2026) — In the continued development of a rare new, ground-up retail property, Big V Property Group and The Seitz Group will celebrate the groundbreaking of Rosamond Town Center in Anna, Texas, on Tuesday, June 30 at 10 a.m. at the southeast corner of Rosamond Parkway and Hwy. 75. Scheduled to attend will be executives from Big V Property Group, The Seitz Group, Principal Asset Management^®, Citizens Bank, and public officials including Anna Mayor Pete Cain.

The 355,826-square-foot, open-air center will be anchored by Academy Sports + Outdoors, Aldi, Burlington, EOS Fitness, Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, PetSmart and T.J. Maxx, and will feature several outparcels and specialty stores. It is an additional, complementary development to Rosamond Crossing, with 175,300 square feet anchored by Kroger (now under construction), with other tenants including Bank of America and McDonald’s about to start construction. The two will be part of a 750,000-square-foot complex in Collin County being developed by Big V Property Group, The Seitz Group and Principal.

“We’re delighted that this new, much-needed project to serve a growing submarket of Dallas is continuing so rapidly — with Rosamond Town Center beginning construction nearly one year ahead of our original schedule,” said Jeffrey Rosenberg, Chairman and CEO of Big V Property Group. “Our partnership with Eric Seitz on this exciting new project has been an extraordinary way to expand our redevelopment, management, operations and leasing expertise into new construction.”

Rosamond Town Center is the result of a strong partnership between The Seitz Group and Big V Property Group, which boast decades of combined experience in retail development and operations. Based in Dallas/Fort Worth, The Seitz Group has developed 51 retail shopping centers totaling 8.8 million square feet over its 33-year history. Big V Property Group, with over 80 years of experience, owns and manages 23 shopping centers. The Anna projects are its first ground-up developments. Together, the partnership contributes extensive expertise in commercial real estate development, asset management, property management, and leasing.

“Our strategy as we acquire and redevelop properties around the United States has been to reinvest in their infrastructure and bring in the tenants that consumers want and need today,” said Kenton McKeehan, President and Chief Investment Officer of Big V Property Group. “Working with Eric Seitz, we are employing the same leasing, management and operations expertise to this new project, that will create a dense core of retail to serve Anna and surrounding communities.”

Anna was recently named the fifth fastest-growing U.S. city with populations of 20,000 or more, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Three neighboring cities — Celina, Princeton, and Melissa — were ranked first third and fourth. The centers are located in Collin County, one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S., with population growth of 12% from 2020 to 2023 to nearly 1.2 million people. That number is expected to double by 2060, equaling all of the city of Houston. The median household income is $117,000.

“That we are breaking ground on Rosamond Town Center less than one year after beginning construction on our Southeast project is a testament to the need for more quality retail in Anna, and especially on the Interstate 75 corridor,” said Eric Seitz, The Seitz Group. “And the area continues to grow, with housing developments being announced regularly. These new residents will have the best-in-class shopping, dining and services right in their own backyards.”

Big V Property group already owns and operates six properties in the Lone Star State, comprising of RIM and Alamo Ranch in San Antonio, Glade Parks in Euless, Deerbrook Marketplace in Humble, Fairfield Town Center in Cypress and Southpark Meadows in Austin.

“Based on Big V’s expertise in retail, and our successful work with them on acquiring Fairfield Town Center, we’re pleased to collaborate on this project,” said Colin Frye, Investment Director of Asset Management at Principal Asset Management^®. “This new project in Anna, Texas will serve a growing community and reflects our shared focus on supporting high-quality retail development.”

The acquisition is the first institutional joint venture for the 80-year-old retail real estate owner/developer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (December 15, 2025) —In its first institutional joint venture and its first acquisition with a fund managed by Principal Asset Management^®, Big V Property Group has acquired Fairfield Town Center in Cypress, Texas (metro Houston).

“Combined with our own 80 years of history, Big V and Principal Asset Management each have a storied legacy of success in serving clients and communities,” said Eric Zimmermann, Chief Acquisitions Officer of Big V Property Group, who with Tony D’Ambrosio, Vice President of Acquisitions & Dispositions, oversaw the transaction. “This collaboration underscores our shared focus on creating value and delivering quality experiences for the people and places we serve.”

Located at U.S. 290 and SH 99/the Grand Parkway, the 355,000-square-foot, value-oriented Fairfield Town Center is 99.5% occupied. The open-air center boasts a best-in-class tenant mix of retail, entertainment and services, including a luxury cinema, popular off-price retailers, beauty and apparel brands, and is complemented by leading grocery and sporting goods anchors.

“We’re excited to add this to our growing Texas portfolio, now six centers strong,” D’Ambrosio said. “Fairfield Town Center exemplifies the type of property Big V builds, acquires and redevelops — well-located in growing areas, dominant, with healthy anchors and the most-desired retailers and services. This is a trophy asset, which we are proud to add to our portfolio.”

“Big V’s longstanding presence in the Sunbelt and its comprehensive real estate capabilities were major draws for Principal Asset Management,” said Kyle Donnelly, Director of Acquisitions/Dispositions at Principal Asset Management. “Their deep retail expertise and vertically integrated platform, spanning innovative leasing, strategic development, construction, legal, marketing, operations, and more, were key factors in our decision.”

Fairfield Town Center is positioned within one of the country’s fastest-growing trade areas, where the population within a five-mile radius has increased by approximately 6% annually since 2010. The area now boasts more than 122,000 residents, supported by an average household income of roughly $168,000 and a median home value of $379,030.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. and DALLAS (September 26, 2025) — In a rare new, ground-up retail development, Big V Property Group and The Seitz Group are teaming up to build the first of two premier, open-air shopping centers totaling nearly 950,000 square feet of new retail in Collin County, the companies announced.

“For over a decade, retail developers have been cautious to expand supply,” said Jeffrey Rosenberg, Chairman and CEO of Big V Property Group. “However, in fast-growing North Dallas more supply is needed and requires new developments that are configured and leased to their wants and needs. We are working with Eric Seitz on this exciting new project to bring our decades of management, operations, and leasing experience to North Dallas.”

The project marks Big V’s first ground-up development and is already 70% leased to creditworthy tenants. The first center will be:

Rosamond Crossing (Southeast), with 175,300 square feet in Anna, Texas, anchored by Kroger Marketplace, to be joined by Bank of America, Chase, Jimmy John’s, and McDonald’s.

New retail construction has been extremely rare in recent years, with new supply rising just 0.5% annually over the past decade, compared with 2.5% prior to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, according to advisory firm Green Street. In the post-pandemic area, open-air development starts have averaged 0.3% of existing stock annually. The result is high occupancy, but communities that are underserved in terms of the contemporary retail facilities and tenants they need.

Rosamond Crossing is also a shift into new construction for Big V Property Group, which has acquired a portfolio of 50 neighborhood and community shopping centers totaling over 9.5 million square feet, primarily located in the southern region of the U.S.

“This project draws upon the Big V’s long history of real estate development,” said Kenton McKeehan, President and Chief Investment Officer of Big V Property Group. “For this project, we chose to partner with The Seitz Group due to their deep knowledge of the North Dallas market and extensive open air retail development know-how. They were the obvious choice and we are excited to launch these projects alongside Eric Seitz and his team.”

The project will be located in Collin County, one of the fastest growing counties in the United States, with population growth of 12% from 2020 to 2023 to nearly 1.2 million people. That number is expected to double by 2060, equal to the entire city of Houston. The median household income is $117,000.

“As North Texas continues to grow and thrive, we’re proud to break ground on a new Kroger Marketplace store in Anna that will bring even greater access to fresh, affordable groceries and everyday essentials, plus the addition of 250-300 new jobs. This new site represents more than just a store — it’s a commitment to convenience, community and connection,” said Rudy DiPietro, President, Kroger’s Texas Division. “Kroger is more than a grocery store — we’re a community partner. As an employer, retailer, healthcare provider, and more, we’re committed to making a positive impact in the City of Anna and surrounding communities.”

Kroger’s Marketplace store format will feature the best that Kroger has to offer, including a full-service coffee kiosk, Murray’s Cheese counter, fuel center featuring a grab & go kiosk with beverages and snacks, full-service grocery, produce, floral, meat and seafood, pharmacy, and expanded general merchandise, including outdoor living products, home goods, apparel, toys, and more.

Other developments in the region that will draw residents, visitors, and corporations to the market include the $1.5 billion master-planned community Sherley Farms, connecting to downtown Anna; Universal Kids Resort, expected to open in summer 2026 in Frisco; and an expansion of the McKinney airport. Multiple new residential developments have also been announced for Anna.

Rosamond Crossing is the result of a strong partnership between The Seitz Group and Big V Property Group, which boast decades of combined experience in retail development and operations. Based in Dallas/Fort Worth, The Seitz Group has developed more than 50 retail shopping centers totaling over eight million square feet over its 33-year history. Big V Property Group, with over 80 years of experience, owns and manages more than 50 shopping centers, including five premier properties in Texas. Together, the partnership contributes extensive expertise in commercial real estate development, asset management, property management, and leasing.

Kaufman Consultants, a women-owned firm with almost 20 years of retail development experience, supported the partnership by aligning its vision with the City of Anna’s goals through expert guidance in planning and permitting, ensuring the project moved efficiently from concept to reality.

“This project showcases the strength of collaboration. With the City of Anna’s support and our partnership with Big V, we’ve created a Class A destination that brings grocery, restaurants, retail, wellness services — everything that the residents have asked for — to the community. It will be the foundation for Anna’s continued growth,” said Eric Seitz, The Seitz Group.

Rosamond Crossing is being financed with a combination of developer equity, financing from private equity partner, Equity Street Capital, and construction loan from Valley Bank.

“The pre-leasing velocity and the shadow anchor Kroger component to Rosamond Crossing allowed us to run a thorough competitive construction financing project. Ultimately, Valley Bank — a valued lending partner with a strong existing relationship with Big V — provided the construction financing on highly attractive terms,” said Bryan Kallenberg, Vice President of Capital Markets for Big V Property Group.

“Valley is very excited to be a part of the Anna Kroger development. Big V is a long-time client. They are one of the best retail operators in the country,” said Todd Harris, Commercial Real Estate – Division Head at Valley Bank. “Eric Seitz also brings an impressive track record of retail development expertise to the deal. DFW’s demographics and growth are unparalleled. Anna is a critical part of this growth, and we are thrilled to be involved in this project.”

Permitting has begun and sitework is expected to begin this month, with vertical construction on Phase 1 in April 2026, with an April 2027 tentative opening. Phase 2 will begin construction in March 2027, with opening in March 2028.

The development will create approximately 400 jobs during construction and is estimated to create 125 permanent jobs when fully open and operational.

“This is a great moment in Anna’s history, and one that will continue to benefit our citizens for years to come,” said Pete Cain, Mayor of Anna, Texas. “We’re delighted that Big V, The Seitz Group and Kroger recognize the growth of our community and are excited for opening day!”

During construction, a team of experts manages all aspects, including cost control, field supervision, and coordination with operational needs, ensuring the project’s economic viability and long-term adaptability. SGI has completed 51 projects totaling 9.5 million square feet of retail space over 33 years.

Highly prized Academy Sports + Outdoors and off-price retailers T.J.Maxx and HomeGoods to occupy former Burlington space

RICHMOND, VA. — The ongoing repositioning and redevelopment of Pocono Crossing continues with owner/developer Big V Property Group’s announcement that three of today’s most in-demand retailers — Academy Sports + Outdoors and TJX Companies’ HomeGoods and T.J.Maxx divisions — will open stores in the 180,845-square-foot open-air community center.

Academy Sports + Outdoors will occupy 63,200 square feet of a former 92,000-square-foot Burlington space, with a combination TJMaxx and HomeGoods store occupying 30,000 square feet and 25,000 square feet, respectively, said Greg Ix, Senior Vice President of Leasing at Big V Property Group.

“We’re thrilled to have a power line-up of Academy Sports, T.J.Maxx and HomeGoods as part of our tenant mix at Pocono Crossing,” said Ix. “Academy will open this month and T.J.Maxx and HomeGoods will debut Q1 2026, and after an innovative subdivision of the Burlington shell and combination of strategic vacancies, this will give them a prime location in the heart of the growing Chesterfield corridor.”

“The redevelopment is very complex, but ultimately a cost-effective way to convert exceptionally large, potentially obsolete space into locations more suitable for today’s more focused retailers,” said Scott Cozzali, Vice President of Construction.

Accommodating these new tenants entailed dividing the space, combining spaces that were left vacant for a future opportunity such as this, and reconfiguring the façade.

“The result is a construction period that is faster, more economical, and more sustainable, despite the challenges of high costs, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages,” Cozzalli continued. “Our construction team was instrumental in redesigning façades and loading docks to tenant specification.”

“Redevelopment opportunities of this caliber are rare to present to the lending community. We ran an extensive marketing process and had numerous lenders wanting to make the loan to help achieve the business plan,” said Bryan Kallenberg, Vice President of Capital Markets at Big V Property Group. “We ultimately chose a full capital stack provider that understood the project and fit the strategy set forth by executive management. This is yet another example of how Big V’s vertical integration allows for seamless execution when dealing with complex projects.”

“As retail has evolved, there are very few single tenants looking to occupy a nearly 100,000-square-foot box, so strategically subdividing this space allows us to accommodate current retail trends and in-demand retailers without the risks and delays that can be involved in ground-up construction. It’s a win for the retailers, a win for our investors as we create even more value, and a triumph for the community, which will benefit from easy access to these best-in-class tenants,” Ix continued.

The two will join Chuck E. Cheese, Martial Arts World, Blue Streak, and Kick Back Jacks at Pocono Crossing. Big V Property Group acquired the regional shopping center in 2019 and has undertaken a strategic evaluation and redevelopment program to reposition the center to serve an affluent community.

Pocono Crossing is located at 10400 Midlothian Turnpike between Powhite Parkway and Huguenot Rd., in one of Richmond’s most affluent and strongest retail submarkets. More than 142,000 people live within a five-mile radius of Pocono Crossing, with an average household income of $109,385. More than 54,000 vehicles pass the site daily.

The center also is situated in one of the most developed and heavily trafficked districts in the city, with a one million-square-foot office park and Chesterfield Towne Center mall less than a mile away.

Several spaces remain available, ranging from 1,000 square feet to 12,000 square feet.

“We want to thank our retail partners, Academy Sports + Outdoors, the TJX Companies, the Big V Property Group team for their extraordinary focus and expertise and Thalhimer Cushman & Wakefield in Richmond,” Ix said.
