Description

Located in Savannah’s Historic Landmark District, 30–32 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd sits in one of the city’s most active hospitality and tourism corridors. The property is just steps from City Market, Broughton Street, and the Plant Riverside District, home to the JW Marriott Savannah and a major concentration of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. Immediately behind the building is The Darling Oyster Bar, one of Savannah’s newest and most popular dining destinations. Nearby operators include The Grey, Chive Sea Bar & Lounge, Savannah Tequila Company, Jazz’d Tapas Bar, and numerous cocktail lounges and nightlife venues that generate steady pedestrian traffic throughout the day and evening. Savannah welcomes over 17 million visitors annually, generating more than $4 billion in tourism spending, making the Historic District one of the Southeast’s strongest hospitality markets. The area is also supported by nearby SCAD campus buildings, boutique hotels, and convention traffic, creating consistent foot traffic from tourists, locals, and students.Ownership is offering a competitive tenant improvement allowance to support the buildout and activation of the space. The allowance is intended to assist with core infrastructure and necessary building systems—including HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and life-safety components—as well as tenant-specific improvements required for the concept. Final scope and allocation of the allowance will be determined in coordination with ownership and based on the proposed buildout plans. Ownership is seeking an initial lease term of five (5) years, with the potential for multiple renewal options for qualified tenants. This structure provides flexibility for both parties while allowing operators the opportunity to establish and grow their concept in a prime downtown Savannah location.

Outdoor components include a private covered courtyard and rooftop deck, creating additional activation space and the ability to develop a dynamic indoor-outdoor guest experience. Ownership is offering a generous tenant improvement allowance to assist with necessary infrastructure upgrades and tenant buildout, including items such as HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems as part of the overall improvement scope.
