Thompson Thrift Celebrates the Grand Opening of Standard441

Thompson Thrift, a well-established real estate development firm, has marked a significant milestone by celebrating the grand opening of Standard441, a new multifamily community located in Lady Lake, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. This event, which included a ceremonial ribbon cutting, marks the introduction of a new 300-unit residential complex designed to offer a modern living experience for residents. The first tenants moved in during the winter of 2024, and construction is anticipated to wind down by the end of the summer.

Angie Atkins, Senior Vice President of Community Management at Thompson Thrift, expressed excitement about the new development, stating, "We are proud to introduce Standard441 as the newest addition to the Lady Lake community. This thoughtfully designed community reflects our commitment to creating comfortable, connected living environments that enhance residents' daily lives and contribute to a vibrant neighborhood."

The Standard441 community occupies 15.26 acres off Highway 441, in the northeastern sector of The Villages, a master-planned community. The residential offerings include one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments housed in three-story buildings. Each apartment is outfitted with modern amenities such as hardwood-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, private patios and balconies, and upgraded unit options. For maximum convenience, residents can also enjoy detached garages and a full-size washer and dryer within their homes, which include Alexa-compatible smart home packages to elevate their living experience.

Beyond the apartments, the gated community is equipped with luxury amenities designed to enhance the overall lifestyle of its residents. Facilities include a fully equipped fitness center with 24-hour access, a heated resort-style swimming pool, outdoor spa, and an outdoor pool pavilion boasting a built-in fireplace and grilling areas. There’s even a pickleball court, putting green, cornhole area, dog park, and pet spa to cater to various interests. Furthermore, the community provides a round-the-clock social hub and office suites designed for remote work. To accommodate electric vehicles, charging stations are available for residents as well.

Located directly across from UF Health The Villages® Hospital, the community benefits from its proximity to the region’s largest healthcare provider. Residents will also find themselves conveniently situated near Highway 441, which serves as the main access route for The Villages. This location provides easy access to nearly three million square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment opportunities, along with significant employers such as Arcosa, Ash Grove, Advent Health Ocala, and the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Villages Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has been recognized as the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the United States over the past decade, and projections suggest that the area could potentially double in size in the coming years.

During the ribbon cutting ceremony, attendees were invited to tour the model apartments and explore the elegantly furnished clubhouse and community amenities. In line with Thompson Thrift's ongoing commitment to community engagement, they also presented a generous donation to the local Habitat for Humanity chapter, aiding their mission to provide affordable housing solutions for families in need.
