Story and Vision of Thrive

Our Story

The foundation of who we are is rooted in where we started.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Thrive began with a vision to develop differently. From the start, we focused on brownfield redevelopment—giving new life to forgotten land by transforming it into places that serve the broader community, not just our own projects. We don’t turn our back to our surroundings—whether it’s a neighboring community or the natural landscape, we design with them in mind. Over decades, we’ve earned a reputation as a core developer in Columbus, known for thoughtful design, community connection, and long-term stewardship. This foundation grounds us and fuels our drive to create what’s next with purpose, creativity, and care.

Our Vision

Our vision goes beyond what we do today and speaks to our broader purpose. It’s a guiding star that embodies the long-term aspirations of Thrive Companies and the changes we want to bring to the world.

To set the standard for development where thoughtfully designed communities are integrated with existing neighborhoods and natural surroundings—enhancing the environment and offering inclusive, welcoming spaces that foster connection, well-being, and a genuine sense of care for everyone.
