EmmaJames, the first sophisticated multifamily and retail development on Savannah’s Hutchinson Island has officially opened its doors. Hutchinson Island, which lies in the historic Savannah River District, has long been anticipated as a riverside oasis. Thanks to EmmaJames, and the completed downtown connector, residents and visitors alike finally have the perfect position to discover the colorful charms of Savannah from an elevated bank.
We are thrilled with the interest not only from locals but from those across the country who are interested in riverside living in Georgia’s oldest city – and all that particular lifestyle encompasses, explains Patrick Kassin, Development Partner, Woodfield Development.
The refined vision of riverfront living comes with modern sensibilities, tasteful style, and spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes. At EmmaJames, the community amenities and apartment features are aplenty. An expansive river park overlooking The Savannah River, a thoughtful pet park, an expansive pool deck with adjoining saltwater pool and a social media production studio provide a variety of offerings for residents’ needs.
EmmaJames will incorporate a large hand painted entry mural from renowned Lowcountry artist Hilarie Lambert which will portray live oaks, marsh grass and wildlife indicative of the surrounding natural environment. Acclaimed Lowcountry photographer, Underhill Photography, was commissioned to take a multitude of local photographs throughout Savanah and the region to hang throughout the project. Several SCAD artists and other local muralists will also be represented.
The development will also have 11,000 square feet of prime, ground-floor retail space. The first lease has already been secured for an innovative seafood concept, promising an exciting gastronomic journey for future visitors.
This retail space, located at the base of the building at the Mercantile, is currently one vast shell, open to various arrangements to suit many business needs, said Tim Kalnin, Development Director with Woodfield Development, LLC.
What is being touted as an “idyllic oasis”, EmmaJames offers sophisticated interior design, stunning artistry, and a warm atmosphere that elevates residents’ lifestyle. Units are officially available for lease.
EmmaJames is located at 101 Cay Plaza, Savannah, GA 31421. For more information or to experience an in person or virtual tour, call 912.800.6103 or visit liveemmajames.com.
