About Commercial
Focused on industrial and mixed-use developments
Thompson Thrift Commercial excels in developing state-of-the-art industrial projects across the country, with a strategic focus on high-growth markets in the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast regions of the US.

How We Succeed
Our Focuses
Thompson Thrift Commercial's success centers around our expansion into new markets, enhanced research and depth of understanding in current core markets, continued discipline in underwriting and site selection, and leveraged relationships with brokerages, builders, master developers, and economic, planning, and transportation departments.
A Strategic Focus on Industrial Development
Our team recognizes the increasing demand for warehouse and distribution space driven by the rise of e-commerce and advanced manufacturing. Thompson Thrift Commercial is uniquely positioned to serve clients across a broad spectrum of the supply chain, delivering intelligent logistics solutions that meet the growing distribution needs of today's industrial users. Our state-of-the-art industrial projects are designed to support the fast-growing sectors fueling the “economy of tomorrow” and promoting high-wage job growth across the United States.
Thoughtful Site Selection
We focus on locations that bring new business opportunities to underserved areas across our target markets by following disciplined acquisition criteria to ensure the success of each development. This includes selecting sites with regional accessibility in the path of progress, high-growth markets, and dynamic infill locations within top-tier established trade areas.
Comprehensive Development and Leasing
Our in-house leasing team collaborates closely with the development team to ensure each project meets the highest standards, including conducting in-depth research on new and existing businesses looking to expand or relocate in the markets we serve. Additionally, we partner with some of the nation's top brokerage firms to connect with a diverse range of potential tenants.
While our focus is now predominantly on industrial projects, Thompson Thrift continues to evaluate grocery-anchored shopping centers and high-energy mixed-use projects, leveraging our extensive experience developing retail projects.
