It's great to see the progress at Eastern Wharf, this project will certainly change the face of Downtown Savannah

About a dozen letters of intent have been signed for the retail spaces and the developers have been in conversations with a number of food and beverage outlets.

“It probably won’t be too long before we can start announcing some things and we’re pretty excited about that,” he said.

Phase one will also include expansive green space, a public park and the expansion of the Savannah Riverwalk. The development team has enlisted Agora Partners, an urban real estate investment development and advisory firm to figure out the best way to activate the green space. Germano said the firm will be conducting focus groups in the next month to gather feedback.

“We’ve brought them in and they’re going to be doing some focus groups over the next month and they’re going to come up with a plan that will allow us to program the park on a regular basis with all of the great festivals and fairs that take place in the city, so that Eastern Wharf can be a part of all of those things, as well as some things of its own,” he said.

Construction on the multi-tenant office building will likely start in the next few months and construction on the hotel is expected to start in the fall. The hotel’s flag hasn’t been announced.
