The Shoppes at Tapestry Park presents a rare opportunity to acquire a 2.69-acre commercial development site at 1410 Dean Forest Road in Savannah, Georgia, with full development approvals already in place.
Approved plans call for a 15,600-square-foot retail center that includes two 2,665-square-foot restaurant spaces with covered patios and additional space for retail or office users. By eliminating much of the entitlement and planning process, the project allows developers to focus on execution and leasing within an established mixed-use environment. Featuring contemporary design, attractive street presence, and ample on-site parking, the plans support tenant demand while creating a destination-oriented retail asset capable of serving both local residents and commuter traffic.
The property is located within Tapestry Park, a growing mixed-use hub that includes over 290 multifamily units, 150 townhomes under construction, a fully leased retail center, an event venue, and Garden City's City Hall and police station, providing a built-in source of daily activity and consumer traffic. Immediate access to Interstate 16 connects the site to the greater Savannah region, while frontage along Dean Forest Road offers visibility to more than 11,600 vehicles per day and additional signage opportunities. The location is approximately 10 minutes from Downtown Savannah and major employment centers, five minutes from the Amazon fulfillment center, and roughly 20 minutes from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, providing access to a broad customer base drawn from surrounding residential, employment, and transportation corridors.
Looking within a 5-mile radius of the development site, the area is home to more than 66,800 residents with average household incomes exceeding $90,500 and annual consumer spending above $745 million. This affluent customer base drives strong leasing activity in the North Savannah/Garden City retail submarket, where retail vacancy stands at just 1.8% and rents have increased by an average of 4% annually over the past five years. In addition to favorable leasing fundamentals, the submarket remains highly active from an investment perspective, recording more than $21.8 million in retail sales volume across 15 transactions during the past 12 months. Together, these factors provide developers with a well-supported environment for lease-up and multiple avenues to realize value through stabilization and disposition.
