Indianapolis, IN
INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 28, 2024) – Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company and one of the nation’s leading multifamily developers, ranked No. 3,243 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, marking the company’s second straight year appearing on the list and its ninth time appearing overall.
"We are proud to once again be recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.," said 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."
The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Many household-name brands, including Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000 list.
“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” said Mike Hofman, Inc.'s editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. 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.”
Thompson Thrift’s ranking places the company among those that Inc. recognizes as driving rapid revenue growth while also navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Thompson Thrift also ranked No. 37 in Indiana and No. 73 in the real estate category.
This is Thompson Thrift’s ninth appearance on the esteemed list. The firm previously made the list in 2007, 2008, 2012 through 2016, and 2023. Last year, Thompson Thrift ranked No. 40 in Indiana, No. 116 in real estate, and No. 3,568 overall, with an impressive 138% three-year growth.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
