A rare opportunity to acquire — or occupy on a long-term lease — a freestanding historic commercial building on one of Savannah's most recognizable corridors. Built in 1890, this two-story, 2,125 SF structure carries both the architectural character and the registered historic status that unlocks meaningful state and federal tax incentive programs for qualified buyers or tenants undertaking a substantial rehabilitation.
Zoned BN Business Neighborhood (TC-2), the property supports a wide range of commercial uses including professional office, boutique agency, design or creative studio, medical/wellness, financial services, or specialty retail/showroom — subject to buyer's or tenant's confirmation of intended use.
Historic Tax Incentive Opportunity
Properties of this age and historic designation may be eligible for Georgia's Preferential Property Tax Assessment Program, which can freeze a property's assessed value for up to nine years following a qualifying rehabilitation — a significant long-term operating cost advantage in a market where assessments are rising. A qualifying rehabilitation may also unlock Georgia's State Historic Income Tax Credit (25% of eligible rehab expenditures) and the Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (20% of qualified costs, applied dollar-for-dollar against federal income tax liability). The owner has prepared program documentation and a tax savings analysis available to qualified prospects upon request. All incentive eligibility is subject to project scope, property certification, and independent verification by buyer's or tenant's tax counsel.
Lease Option Available
The owner is open to a long-term commercial lease in addition to an outright sale, making this an attractive opportunity for an operator or tenant seeking to benefit from the federal rehabilitation tax credit pathway, which is accessible to qualifying long-term lessees who bear the cost of a certified rehabilitation.
Site & Location
Two on-site parking spaces are included, with an adjacently available parking lot creating a potential assemblage opportunity for expanded parking, site control, or phased redevelopment (inquire for details on the neighboring parcel). The property enjoys strong visibility and frontage on Victory Drive — a heavily traveled corridor — with walkable access to surrounding neighborhoods and Savannah's downtown core.
