A 130-bed senior care facility is headed for a site along South Powell Parkway in Anna, bringing new post-acute services and an estimated 100 local jobs to the fast-growing city. The single-story building is planned at roughly 53,654 square feet and, according to local reporting, is expected to break ground in June, with construction projected to wrap up in late 2028 or early 2029. FourSquare Healthcare is lined up as the operator for the Powell Parkway Medical Lodge, a project city leaders say will help keep rehab and long-term care closer to home for Anna residents.
As reported by Connect CRE, FourSquare Healthcare Ltd. plans the 53,654-square-foot, 130-bed Powell Parkway Medical Lodge at 3220 S. Powell Parkway. The Dallas Business Journal pegged the project cost at about $26 million and reported that the development is expected to create roughly 100 jobs once it is complete.
Operator and service mix
FourSquare Healthcare operates skilled-nursing and rehabilitation centers across Texas, with a focus on short-term rehab alongside long-term resident care. According to FourSquare Healthcare, the company emphasizes post-hospital recovery programs designed to return patients home as quickly as is safely possible, while also providing ongoing support for residents who require longer stays.
Why Anna is seeing more health care
Developers are not picking Anna by accident. Rapid population growth is pushing demand for more health care capacity, from hospitals to post-acute and senior services. The U.S. Census Bureau’s Vintage 2024 estimates ranked Anna among the fastest-growing cities in the country, a distinction that brings bragging rights and infrastructure headaches in equal measure.
The federal data release listing the top 15 fastest-growing cities between July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024, includes Anna alongside other booming North Texas suburbs, underscoring why providers are racing to add more local senior and rehab options instead of sending residents farther down the highway. The U.S. Census Bureau reported these rankings and population shifts.
Council approvals and infrastructure questions
Before any concrete is poured, the city had to clear the land for medical use. City officials previously approved pre-annexation and zoning actions to open roughly 14 to 15 acres near Foster Crossing and South Powell Parkway for medical-office and skilled-nursing uses. Those moves were tied to a broader package of utility extensions and roadway upgrades that will support the campus.
According to city staff discussions reflected in council materials, the project area will require sewer extensions, a lift station and targeted thoroughfare improvements as development builds out around the site. Citizen Portal summarized the council debate and approvals tied to the medical office and assisted-living campus plan.
Timeline and what to watch
Developers have indicated that site work and permitting are expected to follow soon after the land closing, with a June groundbreaking window and a multiyear construction schedule that would deliver the facility by late 2028 or early 2029. That means residents will not see doors open anytime soon, but they should start noticing activity on the site well before then.
For those who like to keep tabs on projects as they move from renderings to reality, the city posts official filings, permit notices and meeting materials online. Residents can track site plans, permits and upcoming council or planning items through the city’s agendas and packet page at Anna Agendas and Minutes.
