Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company and one of the nation’s leading multifamily developers, announced the development of The Liliana, a 360-unit Class A multifamily community in the prosperous Savannah suburb of Pooler.
“Savannah’s impressive job and rent growth positions it as one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast,” stated Josh Purvis, managing partner for Thompson Thrift Residential. “We’re thrilled to introduce a Thompson Thrift community to this thriving market.”
Apartment homes at The Liliana will feature many of the luxurious finishes and amenities for which Thompson Thrift communities have become known. Kitchens will boast stainless-steel appliances, a smooth glass-top range, a side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water dispensers and tile backsplashes. Residents will also enjoy hardwood-style flooring, walk-in closets, a full-size washer and dryer, high-speed internet access, energy-efficient LED lighting and a suite of Alexa-compatible smart home technology. Private yard, patio or balcony options and detached garages will also be available.
The gated community will include a fully equipped fitness center, a 24-hour social hub, a resort-style heated swimming pool, electric firepits with seating area, pickleball court, a dog park and thoughtfully designed courtyards.
The development’s location 12 miles west of historic downtown Savannah positions it near several major points of interest including the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport, as well as the area’s most enticing retail, dining and entertainment options. A Publix-anchored grocery center and newly constructed Costco are also just a short drive away.
The city of Pooler has experienced remarkable growth in recent years. According to U.S. Census data, Pooler’s population increased by approximately 34% between 2010 and 2020. Major area employers include the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation’s divisional headquarters, Hyundai, Candler Hospital, Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield and Memorial Health University Medical Center, to name a few.
Purvis added, “Despite its rapid growth, Pooler maintains a small-town, charming feel and we have taken care to design a community that will integrate seamlessly with the adjacent Savannah Quarters neighborhood and be a place residents are proud to call home.”
