Waterfront Projects Plan Construction Across Three Cities

The privately owned SeaPoint Industrial Marine Terminal is expected to begin construction in 2027 on a 755-acre site along the Savannah River, about five miles downstream from River Street and closer to the Atlantic than Georgia Ports Authority facilities. The project includes a 3,000-foot berth designed to accommodate multiple vessels, and contractor Michels has been awarded a design-build contract for the terminal complex. Owner Reed Dulany has spent much of the past three years building a sea wall to enable the berth, though the work was temporarily delayed by objections from the Georgia Ports Authority. The development highlights ongoing competition and friction over space and influence on Savannah’s crowded working riverfront.
