The NRP Group Breaks Ground on 340-Unit Mixed-Income Multifamily Community in Anna, Texas

New Class-A housing development delivers upscale amenities, contemporary design and a new public park to residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area

DALLAS & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, today announced the financial close and groundbreaking of a 340-unit, mixed-income housing community in Anna, Texas. The development will provide high-quality housing for residents within a range of income levels, with 40% of units designated for individuals and families earning 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) and 10% of units reserved for those earning 60% AMI.

Located at 900 S. Buddy Hayes Blvd. at the southeast corner of U.S. Highway 75 and White Street, the community’s strategic placement offers convenient access to major employment hubs in McKinney, Sherman and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Tailored to meet the needs of Anna’s growing population, the development features a mix of one- and two-bedroom residences designed to appeal to singles, couples and young professionals.

“This groundbreaking represents a major milestone in delivering a thoughtfully planned housing complex that blends high-quality residences with walkable access to grocery stores, restaurants and nearby parks — all just steps from the heart of Anna’s commercial center,” said Alena Savera, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. “We’re proud to partner with the City of Anna in bringing our vision to life. This new development will create not only a warm, connected community, but also provide access to dynamic green spaces, modern amenities and convenient connections to retail and job markets along Highway 75.”

The project’s design draws inspiration from Anna’s modern City Hall, medical facilities and schools, incorporating neutral tones and sleek, contemporary architecture. The development will feature one four-story building that includes the clubhouse and primary amenities, along with 10 three-story residential buildings that provide garage and carport options across the 15-acre site.

“As Anna continues to experience rapid growth, ensuring that we have diverse and attainable housing options is critical to sustaining our economic momentum,” said Bernie Parker, Director of Economic Development at the City of Anna. “This development will help meet the increasing demand for housing, providing new opportunities for residents while strengthening our local economy. By expanding housing availability near key employment hubs, we’re ensuring that Anna remains a competitive and thriving community for years to come.”

A signature element of the project is a 2.5-acre public park, which will provide a vibrant outdoor destination for both residents and the broader Anna community. With direct connectivity to the city’s extensive hike and bike trail system, the public park will offer two pickleball courts, an oversized dog park, a covered pavilion and dedicated parking for visitors.

Residents will also have access to an expansive suite of resort-style amenities, including a pool with lounge seating and grilling stations, an outdoor entertainment area with covered TVs and games and a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center equipped for both cardio and strength training. The clubhouse will house a clubroom, a library and podcasting studio, catering to professionals and creatives seeking flexible live-work spaces.

Completion is expected in early 2026.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metro area remains a priority market for The NRP Group. The firm has developed nearly 7,000 units across more than 30 properties in the region, and recently broke ground on new affordable housing developments Thrive on Crawford in Fort Worth and The Fielder in Mesquite.
