Thompson Thrift Spotlighted for Rapid Construction Growth

Thompson Thrift, a full-service real estate company, has secured its place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America for the ninth time, underscoring its rapid expansion in the construction and development sectors.

Thompson Thrift is a full-service real estate development firm specialising in commercial, residential and mixed-use projects (which combine residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in one development).

The Inc. 5000 ranking highlights the fastest-growing private companies, showcasing successful independent businesses like Microsoft and Patagonia, the outdoor apparel company focused on environmental sustainability, which gained national recognition through this prestigious list.

This achievement comes as the firm navigates challenges in the construction industry, balancing growth with the challenges facing the global construction market.

Thompson Thrifts expansion amidst industry headwinds

Thompson Thrift has invested US$5bn into local communities and is known for developing high-quality, attractive commercial and multifamily communities.

Thompson Thrift's growth trajectory is particularly noteworthy given the current state of the global construction industry.

Like many in the industry, Thompson Thrift faces issues such as supply chain disruptions, labour shortages and fluctuating material costs.

Previous CEO, Paul Thrift, highlights Thompson Thrifts values.

However, its integrated business model, which encompasses development, construction and management, has allowed it to navigate these obstacles more effectively than some competitors.

The company has successfully expanded its operations, with a projected volume exceeding US$600mn this year.

This growth is driven by a robust development pipeline focusing on high-end, newly constructed rental properties and luxury leased housing communities across the US.

Thompson Thrifts strategic moves and market positioning

Thompson Thrift's recent expansion of its construction executive team reflects its commitment to managing growth strategically.

The promotion of three team members to senior vice president roles in preconstruction, construction operations and project controls demonstrates the company's focus on strengthening its internal capabilities.

The firm's approach to market selection is particularly noteworthy.

Thompson Thrift employs a disciplined, data-driven process for choosing development locations, focusing on high-growth markets in the Southwest and Southeast US.

This strategy has allowed the company to capitalise on emerging opportunities in these regions, contributing to its consistent growth. 

Thompson Thrift's projects also create direct construction jobs and stimulate local economies by attracting businesses to their mixed-use developments.

"We are proud to once again be recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.," says Dan Sink, president and chief financial officer of Thompson Thrift.

"Our consistent ranking on such an acclaimed list is a testament to our entire team's commitment to developing top-tier multifamily and commercial real estate developments nationwide", he continues.

Mike Hofman, Inc.'s editor-in-chief adds: "Congratulations to this year's honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”
