Thompson Thrift to Develop Luxury Community Near Jacksonville
The project will take shape on the former site of an outlet mall.
Thompson Thrift will be developing Terrassa, a 324-unit luxury community in St. Augustine, Fla., a Jacksonville submarket. The company plans to break ground on the project this month, with completion scheduled for the fall of 2026.
Terrassa is part of the redevelopment of the former St. Augustine Outlets, an almost 100,000-square-foot retail center that was demolished two years ago.
Upon delivery, this will be the developer’s 17th Florida community. Thompson Thrift 2024 Multifamily Development LP will provide project equity.
Terrassa will rise on 14 acres at 500 Outlet Mall Blvd., close to Ford’s Garage Restaurant and the St. Augustine Premium Outlets. Downtown Jacksonville will be within 35 miles, while downtown St. Augustine will be some 8 miles away.

The project will also feature a social hub with billiards, a coffee bar, private focus rooms and a work area with printing station.
