Staff Report

Friday, July 17th, 2020

Judge Commercial was recently announced as the exclusive leasing agency for West Broad, a redevelopment project located in the burgeoning MLK corridor in downtown Savannah. 

This development is configured as a multi-use space suitable for retail, restaurant, office, and co-working spaces, with 24 off-street parking spaces, fiber internet access, and flexible TI packages available. The block is zoned as D-C (downtown commercial) and is strategically located along the high-traffic corridor of MLK Jr. Blvd, near the 1-16 interchange which has an estimated vehicle traffic rate of 21,000 cars per day. 

This historic redevelopment project encompasses a full city block in the center of Savannah's rapidly reemerging Westside neighborhood. Once home to some of Savannah’s most well-known businesses (including, most recently, Thrifty Supply) West Broad has undergone an extensive adaptive reuse process to restore the character and vitality of the streetscape in its heyday. Paying homage to its past and with an eye toward the future. 

West Broad will cater to a diverse range of retail and office tenants looking to capitalize on the energy of the neighborhood and proven success of surrounding projects like The Grey, The Savannah Children’s Museum, SCAD Museum, and the Ships of the Sea Museum. Positioned adjacent to significant public investments by the city (namely, the Canal Street District) and private developments like Plant Riverside, West Broad is primed for high-volume activity. Currently, tenants of West Broad include Circa Lighting, ForSight Eye, and Ice Bing Cafe.  

“We are thrilled to be representing this incredible revitalized block of historic downtown Savannah,” says Judge Commercial founder, Lori Judge. “We have helped locate and broker the perfect spaces for many small businesses, restaurants, and retail businesses for over 15 years. This experience makes us the ideal partner to help realize the full potential of West Broad.
