Thompson Thrift Unveils Plans for a Luxury 300-Unit Community in Buford, GA
Thompson Thrift, a renowned full-service real estate company recognized across the nation, is making headlines with the announcement of its latest project, Autry at Tulip Grove. This impressive 300-unit luxury multifamily community is set to rise in Buford, a vibrant suburb of Atlanta, with plans to welcome its first residents in January 2027.
A Strategic Location for Growth
Situated at 1325 Laurel Crossing Pkwy NE, this ambitious development covers a generous 10 acres and is poised to become a cornerstone of luxury living in the region. With Gwinnett County establishing itself as one of the Southeast's most dynamic growth areas, it’s no wonder that Thompson Thrift has chosen this locale for their newest project. As Josh Purvis, Managing Partner for Thompson Thrift Residential, states, the area boasts a thriving population, robust economy, and exceptional employment rates, making it an ideal spot for residential development.
The architectural design of Autry at Tulip Grove reflects a commitment to combining style with practicality. The community will feature four-story, elevator-serviced buildings, designed to offer an appealing choice for residents seeking spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. High-quality interior finishes will grace each residence, including luxurious quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and hardwood-style flooring. Additionally, residents will appreciate ample storage solutions with large walk-in closets and the option for private yards and balconies.
Resort-Style Amenities
The amenity package at Autry is set to create an enriching living experience. Residents will have access to two fully equipped fitness centers with 24-hour availability, a heated swimming pool, electric vehicle charging stations, and beautifully designed courtyards. For social activities, there will be an outdoor pavilion furnished with a gas fireplace, grilling areas, and spaces for outdoor games.
Pet owners will find themselves well-catered for, with a dedicated dog park and a pet spa that includes grooming stations. Leisure activities will continue within the community, featuring entertainment options such as billiards, shuffleboard, and a golf simulator. The 24-hour social hub will provide residents with a welcoming place to connect with neighbors, promoting a sense of community.
Proximity to Retail and Employment
Beyond the immediate comforts of home, Autry at Tulip Grove sits adjacent to The Exchange, a 100-acre master-planned development that offers a variety of retail, entertainment, and dining options. Notable nearby attractions include Sprouts Farmers Market, Pickle and Social, Andretti Indoor Karting, and TopGolf. Residents will also benefit from quick access to Interstate 85, facilitating easy travel to downtown Lawrenceville and downtown Atlanta, as well as local shopping hubs such as the Mall of Georgia and Sugarloaf Mills.
The community’s location is strategically chosen, with a remarkable demographic growth of 31.9% in its three-mile radius over the past 15 years, outperforming both Gwinnett County and the overall Atlanta Metro area. Alarmingly, 97% of the force within Gwinnett County is currently employed, showcasing the area’s appeal for young professionals and families alike. With major employers like Publix Distribution, Primerica, and Northside Hospital nearby, which is expanding to include a 17-floor tower to generate additional jobs by 2026, the economic landscape is robust.
Additionally, the nearby Rowen development signifies exceptional future growth potential, with projections indicating that it could eventually create 100,000 jobs upon completion.
A Legacy of Quality Development
Having established its reputation over nearly 40 years, Thompson Thrift has successfully invested more than $6 billion into various communities across the nation, emphasizing their commitment to creating attractive, high-quality multifamily developments. With numerous accolades and recognized excellence in workplace culture, the company is set to make Autry at Tulip Grove a premier destination that encapsulates the spirit of modern living while respecting community values.
