Completed in 2019, West Broad is a full block historic redevelopment project located in the center of Savannah’s rapidly reemerging Westside. Once home to some of Savannah’s most well-known businesses including most recently, Thrifty Supply, West Broad has undergone an extensive exterior and interior renovation restoring the project to its heyday appearance. While paying homage to its past, West Broad now caters to a variety of retail and office tenants looking to capitalize on the energy of the area such as Foresight EyeCare, Origin Coffee and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. This development will add to the proven success of surrounding projects like The Grey, The Savannah Children’s Museum, SCAD Museum and The Ships of the Sea Museum. With large public investments by the city for the Canal Street District and private investments like Plant Riverside underway in the same corridor, West Broad is primed for fantastic activity!
Located on downtown’s MLK Boulevard, West Broad provides favorable traffic counts and pedestrian traffic. It also offers frontage on W Charlton and W Jones streets. There is dedicated parking in the adjacent lot on W Charlton. The complex is just under 60,000 square feet of total space including a rooftop common area and a rentable courtyard. The exterior reconstruction work maintains the historical lines and character of the original construction from the 1920s and a full new roofing system throughout. The interior has been completely renovated with new electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems in each unit. A newly created common corridor, shared kitchenette, and shared restroom facilities connect the property.

“I think the reason co-working has taken off so well in the last four to five years in the States is that when the economy bottomed out and people were released from their work, they started being creative about how to find themselves, how to work differently, how to reengineer their lives. I don’t think people are eager to go back to the way it was.”
