CHARLOTTE, N.C. (September 1, 2026) — Big V Direct, Big V Property Group’s recently announced investor platform that is democratizing open-air retail real estate investment, today has launched its first offering, a $2.5 million investment in RIM, the 1.8 million-square-foot, mixed-use district at 17703 La Cantera Parkway in San Antonio, Texas.

Big V Direct offers pre-qualified accredited investors direct access to an institutional quality portfolio of premier retail properties shopping centers owned, operated, and developed by Big V Property Group in growing and thriving communities, primarily in the Sunbelt.

“My family has been buying, leasing, and managing open-air shopping centers for three generations, over 84 years. We have owned and managed an aggregate of more than 90 open-air centers, and more than $4 billion of total assets. The capital has come from four places: my family, our friends, our institutional partners, and our banks. Until now, we did not have a way for accredited investors to learn about, or invest in, our assets,” said Jeffrey Rosenberg, Chairman and CEO of Big V Property Group. “We are excited to now officially open these opportunities to a broader audience, starting with the opportunity to invest in one of our marquee properties.”

RIM, located on the site of a former quarry, opened in 2006. Big V Property Group and a partner acquired the project in May 2021. As manager, Big V Property Group launched an immediate plan to grow the retail center, then 1.05 million square feet, with new restaurants and stores.

Today, RIM is the most-visited shopping center in Texas and one of the most-trafficked in the United States, drawing 77 million guests annually to more than 90 stores, restaurants and service businesses, as well as luxury residences and a boutique hotel. Retail anchors include Bass Pro Shops, Best Buy, Burlington, World Market, Dick’s Sporting Goods, DSW, Hobby Lobby, JCPenney, Lifetime Fitness, Lowe’s, Michaels, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Petsmart, Ross Dress for Less, Santikos IMAX Theaters, Target, TJ Maxx/Home Goods/Sierra/Marshalls/Homesense, Boot Barn, Sun & Ski, and Total Wine & More.

A current partner has chosen to exit his investment, creating the opportunity for Big V Direct to offer pre-qualified accredited investors direct access to join Big V Principals and other long-term partners in owning a percentage of RIM. To learn if you are an accredited investor, as defined by the SEC, please visit here.

A family-owned retail real estate company with more than 80 years of ownership and operating history, Big V Property Group now has nearly $2 billion in assets under management (AUM) across 11 states totaling roughly seven million square feet of gross leasable area. It is fully vertically integrated, with in-house acquisitions, capital markets, leasing, asset management, property management and construction management. Its rigorous evaluation process identifies the best open-air retail properties in the strongest markets. Only a small percentage of opportunities meet its high standards and are presented to investors.

Interested parties can visit bigvdirect.com to register for a webinar at 4 p.m. EDT on September 10, 2026 which will discuss the offering in more detail and funds can be committed.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (August 19, 2026) —  Big V Property Group today launched Big V Direct, a dedicated investor-facing website where investors will learn about Big V’s thesis on retail real estate and access offerings.

Big V Direct offers pre-qualified accredited investors direct access to an institutional quality portfolio of open-air shopping centers. Open-air shopping centers have become the primary retail destination for most American consumers as they provide value and convenience, and the fundamentals of retail real estate have shifted to favor the power center format in the post-pandemic era. Big V invests primarily in this sub-asset class.

Big V owns, operates, and develops premier retail properties in growing and thriving communities. Its vertically integrated platform allows Big V to expertly acquire, manage, and improve its properties, efficiently generating attractive risk-adjusted returns. Each property considered is evaluated by the team to ensure that it meets Big V’s standards for long-term investing. This careful selection has led to record-high occupancy rates, as prime locations drive significant business for tenants, enhance returns for investors, and support vibrant community activity.

The Big V Direct website is built to reach accredited investors who have not typically had a channel for direct investment. Given that most individual investors don’t have access to buying $100 million shopping centers, Big V created Big V Direct to offer the ability to invest in this asset class.

Big V has long invited friends and family to invest in its portfolio of premier open-air properties. Big V Direct is an exciting opportunity for pre-qualified, accredited investors to join this selective network and invest alongside existing institutional partners.

“Over the last eight decades, we’ve built a circle of trust with our investor base, including individual  investors,” said Jeffrey Rosenberg, Chairman and CEO of Big V Property Group. “We’re proud of our multi-generational track record of success, and we remain committed to creating lasting wealth for our investors through our deep expertise in the space. With Big V Direct, that track record is now open to a wider group of investors with an invitation to invest where you shop.”

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 250th 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. RIM is the most visited shopping center in the state.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (September 3, 2025) —Big V Property Group, a leading owner, operator, and developer of premier retail properties in high-growth Sunbelt markets, has successfully completed a $21.4 million refinancing for a diversified group of net-leased tenants, all a part of shadow anchored centers in the Big V Portfolio in the southern United States.

The properties are part of the Big V Income Fund, a nine-asset portfolio focused on generating stable, long-term cash flow through net-leased retail investments. The new financing package, secured through a regional bank, provides a sub-6% interest rate on-balance sheet, reinforcing the strength of the fund’s asset quality and tenant mix. All assets in the transaction are net-leased (NNN) to creditworthy, long-term tenants, providing predictable income and minimal landlord responsibilities.

“We’re pleased to have secured favorable terms in today’s attractive interest rate environment, which underscores the confidence our lending partners have in our assets and strategy,” said Bryan Kallenberg, Vice President of Capital Markets. This refinancing reflects the ongoing strength of the Big V Income Fund’s net lease portfolio.”

The properties are the ground leases at:

The nine properties in the Big V Income Fund are all highly visited centers, and shadowed by notable anchored tenants which include, Target, Marshalls, TJMaxx, Burlington, Ross, Ulta, and others. Big V Property Group remains focused on acquiring and managing high-performing retail centers in vibrant Sunbelt markets, characterized by robust demographics, consistent foot traffic, and long-term economic growth.

The bookseller has taken locations for its smaller format stores at Alamo Ranch, above, as well as The Avenue Murfreesboro and Southpark Meadows.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 21, 2025) — The recent addition of three Barnes & Noble stores to Big V Property Group’s portfolio is not just evidence of the rebirth of the iconic bookseller, it also is a testament to the two companies’ relationship and the importance of adaptive reuse of existing space, the developer said.

All of the new Barnes & Noble stores — at Alamo Ranch in San Antonio and Southpark Meadows in Austin, both in Texas, and The Shoppes at Woodhill in Columbia, S.C. — were previously home to other retailers and were reconceived and remodeled to accommodate the retailer’s new, smaller format. Barnes & Noble also has a location at The Avenue Murfreesboro near Nashville in a lease signed prior to Big V Property Group’s acquisition of the center in 2020.

“Watching the reinvention and reinvigoration of Barnes & Noble shows the continued strength of brick-and-mortar retail, and it is now a critical component of our tenant mixes,” said Greg Ix, Executive Vice President of Leasing at Big V Property Group. “Small, independent booksellers are a vital part of retail, but there really is only one Barnes & Noble. We are happy to have leased nearly 75,000 square feet and reinvented rare vacant spaces to accommodate them and look forward to continuing our strong relationship.”

“It’s thrilling to see Barnes & Noble expanding again, with plans to open some 60 new stores nationwide in 2025,” said Julie O’Donnell, Big V Property Group Executive Director of Leasing. “Seeing a legacy brand reinvent themselves to adapt as an experience-led, traffic driver retailer, is exciting for all of our tenants, and Austin, San Antonio and Columbia, S.C. have been a perfect fit for them.”

Barnes & Noble’s 20,004-square-foot store replaces an Office Max at Southpark Meadows, home to dining, local, and regional retailers as well as Music Meadows, an outdoor communal area that hosts a variety of events all year long. Other anchors are Walmart, Super Target, Petsmart, Ulta Beauty, Old Navy, JCPenny, Marshalls, Hobby Lobby, Ross, Best Buy and HomeGoods. The center is located on Interstate 35, Austin’s primary North-South thoroughfare.

One of the largest and most prominent open-air centers in San Antonio, Alamo Ranch’s 900,000 square feet are anchored by Best Buy, Dick’s, Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, Michael’s, Ulta, PetSmart, Super Target, Lowe’s, and JCPenney. Barnes & Noble’s 17,996 square feet also replaces an Office Max at the center, located on 1604, one of the city’s busiest vehicular arteries.

Big V Property Group re-leased a 25,000-square-foot former Bed Bath & Beyond at The Shoppes at Woodhill to Barnes & Noble prior to selling the center in December 2024.

“We’re proud of our flexibility to help major tenants find new locations in thriving markets such as Austin and San Antonio,” said Pat Kelly, Vice President of Leasing. “But Barnes & Noble deserves serious credit for developing a smaller, community-centric prototype that allows it to take locations of 20,000 square feet or so and serve new markets. It’s a tribute to smart retailing.”

All three stores are now open.
