The Oak - 41st @ Lincoln | Savannah, Georgia

Approved by Metropolitan Planning Commission for a three story mixed use building on 7 undeveloped adjoining lots. Proposed building consists of 5 two story townhomes, 7 elevator accessible flats and 2 commercial office spaces. The footprint of the building creates a 6000sf open courtyard area under the canopy of an existing live oak tree. Each residential unit will have a large private balcony nestled into the tree canopy. The commercial component will have a strong street presence, as it is situated both to Lincoln Avenue and East 41st Street. Design approvals include 23,100sf residential and 2,300 sf GLA commercial. The Property has received the following entitlements: Certificate of Appropriateness for mixed use building; Parking variance; Zero lot line variance; ROW overhang variance.

The Oak is located in the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District in the heart of downtown Savannah. The area is becoming increasingly attractive to doctors, medical professionals, educators and students because of its proximity to the expanding Savannah College of Art and Design and the flagship sites of both Memorial Health University Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital/Candler. These professionals are looking for close proximity to their places of work and downtown arts, culture and dining without having to pay a premium in real estate prices. Savannah is also attracting second home buyers and retirees from across the country. Between 2000 and 2015, over 25 percent of the population growth in Savannah is expected to be 55 years or older. They are looking for a quiet setting in a warm climate, the maintenance free lifestyle provided by townhomes and flats, and convenient access to various forms of performing arts and culture and upscale dining.
