The simplest way is to convert it to a path and animate the path shape.
Rectangle shapes are always drawn from their center so you need to animate both size and position to give the illusion of scaling from a corner. -
You could also. move the Anchorpoint to the position where you want to scale “from”, so that it stays there. The problem with animating a converted path directly (at least as I see it) is that you lose your numeric values in the process.
