ANNA, TX HOBBY LOBBY GROUND UP

A new 55,072 square foot single-story building is planned for 1680 N. Central Expy in Anna, Texas. The project, registered with TDLR as a Hobby Lobby Ground UP, represents a significant addition to the commercial landscape in Collin County. The scope of work involves ground-up construction with a mercantile (M) occupancy, designed to serve the local retail needs of the area.

The estimated cost for this development is $5,500,000. This places the project in the top quarter of estimated costs for new construction filings in Collin County, which has a median of $800,000. While the total cost is high relative to the county median, the cost per square foot is $100, which is below the county median of $120 per square foot. This efficiency in per-unit cost suggests a streamlined construction process for a large-format retail space.

Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed the plan review for this project in August 2026. Construction is scheduled to start in November 2026 and is scheduled to finish in August 2027. The total build window is approximately 288 days, which is longer than the county median build window of 212 days for similar projects. This extended timeline accounts for the scale of the 55,072 square foot structure and the complexities of ground-up construction.

The owner of record is BVE Anna NEC SPE LLC, which also holds a TDLR registration for another project in Anna valued at $3,000,000. The design firm of record is Wayne Emery Spears, and Tim Mullins is the registered accessibility specialist.
