INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company and one of the nation’s leading multifamily developers, earned national recognition today as a winner of seven 2026 Top Workplaces awards.

Kristin Tolliver, senior vice president of human resources, added, “These recognitions are especially meaningful because they reflect the experiences and perspectives of our team members. We’ve been intentional about fostering an environment where people feel valued, supported and empowered to grow professionally and personally. We’re grateful to our team for helping shape a culture that continues to stand out nationally.”
