Market Intelligence

Savannah Commercial Real Estate Market

Savannah's commercial real estate market is built on two economic pillars that complement rather than compete with each other: a historic tourism economy generating $4 billion annually from over 15 million visitors, and the Port of Savannah — the fastest-growing container port in the U.S. and the fourth-busiest nationally. Tourism drives demand for hospitality, restaurant, retail, and entertainment properties in the Historic District and surrounding neighborhoods, while the port drives industrial and logistics demand along the I-16 and I-95 corridors. This dual-engine economy creates diversified commercial demand that insulates the market from single-sector risk.

SCAD's transformation of Savannah's urban landscape — the college has restored over 100 buildings and employs 3,000+ faculty and staff — provides institutional demand and creative-economy commercial activity that extends well beyond traditional university markets. Gulfstream Aerospace's manufacturing campus employs over 10,000, anchoring advanced manufacturing demand. The film industry (Savannah has become a popular production location) generates periodic hospitality and commercial space demand. Healthcare is served by Memorial Health University Medical Center and St. Joseph's/Candler, together providing the region's major hospital systems.

Savannah's buyer pool includes tourism-focused hospitality investors, industrial and logistics REITs targeting port-proximate assets, lifestyle investors attracted to the Historic District's charm, and institutional capital drawn by the port's growth metrics. Cap rates vary significantly by property type and location: Historic District commercial properties trade at rates closer to Charleston, while industrial properties along I-16/I-95 offer stronger yields. For sellers, correctly identifying which buyer segment matches your property and presenting financials accordingly is the key to competitive offers in Savannah's multifaceted market.

What's Selling

Top Property Types in Savannah

01

Industrial & Port Logistics

The Port of Savannah's container volumes are growing faster than any other East Coast port, and this growth translates directly into industrial demand along the I-16 and I-95 corridors. Warehouse and distribution space in the port logistics zone — from Garden City through Pooler and along the Jimmy DeLoach Parkway — serves import/export consolidation, e-commerce fulfillment, cold storage, and regional distribution tenants. Properties with modern clear heights (32'+), heavy dock loading, and direct port connectivity attract both owner-operators and institutional logistics investors building East Coast portfolios.

02

Retail & Tourism

Savannah's Historic District — one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the U.S. — supports tourism-driven retail, restaurant, and hospitality properties that generate rents comparable to much larger cities. Broughton Street's retail revival, City Market's entertainment district, and the restaurant clusters along Congress and Bay Streets create premium commercial environments supported by 15 million annual visitors. Properties with historic character, outdoor dining potential, and proximity to the city's famous squares command premiums that reflect Savannah's national brand recognition.

03

Office & Mixed-Use

Memorial Health and St. Joseph's/Candler together serve as the healthcare backbone for coastal Georgia, generating medical office demand along the Eisenhower Drive and Abercorn Street medical corridors. Savannah's growing retiree population amplifies healthcare utilization, while SCAD and tourism-industry employees add younger demographic healthcare needs. The expansion of medical services into Pooler and the westside reflects population growth patterns. Multi-tenant medical buildings near hospital campuses provide income stability that attracts both local physician-investors and regional healthcare REITs.

The Port of Savannah's growth trajectory — driven by the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project deepening the channel to accommodate larger vessels — ensures expanding industrial demand for years.
