Savannah Baby boom is a big part of population increase: census bureau projects MSA at 380k by 2015
-
going back to the riverwalk hotel, theres some construction going on next to the hyatt, so im guessing that is what it is, looks like they've got 2 or 3 floors up so far.
-
well its good too see that savannah is pulling in solid and consistant gains. at this rate it should be about 350 k in the msa fo the 2010 census and about 415 - 430 k in the csa
anyone know the 07 estimates for the cities themselves?
-
some pictures i took while cruising around today, some were quick shots, but hey it doesnt have to be a grat shot to be a beautiful picture in this city : ) :

Mardi Gras Parade in Baton Rouge's historic Spanish Town neighborhood, one of the best parades outside of New Orleans.

^^ According to the architects' website, construction on the Riverwalk Hotel was supposed to begin in May 2007. It's planned to be a 5-star seven story hotel with restaurants on the first floor, parking on second and third floors, and hotel rooms on the fourth floor and above.
Has this project been announced? This would be a great infill project -- hope it wasn't cancelled.
More renderings:
wow the drawings look great. i would never trust a website for anything in savannah, they usually dont keep up with them. the building looks to be more like 8-9 stories on the riverside. where on riverstreet is it supposed to be at maybe i could go check it out and see if anything is happening
-
Is this building under construction?
hmmm cant say i know of or what that is, but looks good. im guessing its on river street?

anyone hear anymore of what restaurants/ shops and such will be coming downtown near ellis square? and what brand hotel are they bringing in?
-
The proof is in the numbers that was posted further up. Atlanta was first, Augusta second and Savannah third.
that was talking about the cities. the ports are a different story. in terms business, yes, savannah is third, but the ports do provide pretty much all of the businesses in georgia with supplies. so in terms of trade i think savannah is definitly #1 since we provide the rest of georgia with the materials on which to build your wealth, even if savannah as a city isnt the wealthiest or biggest.

If Savannah's CSA included its neighboring South Carolina counties (Jasper and Beaufort), Savannah would take over the #2 spot surpassing Augusta/Aiken and it would continue to be #2 as both the Savannah and Hilton Head metros are growing at a much faster pace than Augusta and the other 2nd tier GA metros/CSA's. With the addition of Hilton Head, the CSA is over 500,000.
I don't think people dont realize the connection between Savannah and Hilton Head. The media, the tourism, Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport and the distance from downtown Savannah to Beaufort County is approx. 30 mins and the Hilton Head metro includes Jasper county which is right across the bridge from Savannah.
It appears that people forgot that the Savannah area is bustling and it honestly has a more diverse economy than any other 2nd tier city- tourism, military, the #4 largest port in the country, manufacturing.
Augusta, Macon, Columbus enthusiasts continue to ignore Savannah from these discussions. I would argue Savannah is clearly #2 in the state as has less reliance on Atlanta than anyone else and its area has the most potential for continued growth (economically and population).
the reason its not part of the csa right now is because theres just nothing between the two except highways. you have ridgeland and hardee ville and other small communities, but its all still fairly undeveloped. their is a strong connection between the two, transportation and buissness wise, and i think in the nex 10 - 15 years it will officially be one csa at that point, with jasper and liberty counties, and possibly effingham as well added to the msa. add those and even right now and you'd have an msa of approx. 465,000. now i dont know if we could add liberty because of the hinesville msa so without that it would still be about 400,000. now say you had about a 7% increase in population.(totally theoretical) with hinesville that'd be alost half a million.
that was all estimation but it gives you the basic idea.

hey mr. macon-is-the-best, guess where all most of the matirials to build those places and their merchandise they sell will have to come through to get to you......SAVANNAH! haha
we get to make money off of yall lol -
i was on hutchinson island over the weekend and noticed three houses going up at the reserve over there. finally going vertical!
-
Front page of the Savannah Morning News today:
Eastside and preseident street projects
how big might a 500 - 600 space garage like that be?
anyway, good news to hear!
-
found this on the wtoc site today, not big but its something. cant have to many statues in one city right? lol
its right across the street from vinnie's, if anyone doesnt know where franklin square is.

I agree we need more highrises but that particular building is an eyesore and is beyond help. I know they were getting bids to demo it a few months ago just haven't heard anything lately.
The drawings of The Savannah River Landing looks like it is really going to enhance the Savannah skyline though.
yeah, it is an ugly ass building.... but they should build something almost as tall, nd much nicer when the demolish it. i think they could fix it if they really wanted to, but then again maybe it would be cheaper to demolish and start from scratch. any news on whats going in its place?
and yes the SRL does looklike itll inhance the skyline alot, tho i wish it was on a bit higher land, as 2 east bryan stands so much taller in the skyline than everything cus its the tallest and on the highest land. we need something to rival its height in the overall skyline, and while the 2 10 - 11 story highrises in the river landing would, they sit on lower land. but maybe they will, hard to tell till they actually build them, i just wish they'd get a move on lol
-
I went over the bridge rcently and it looks like somthing new is being built on hutchinson. not sure what it is or if it has anythin to do with the reserve project. its wood frame but its too big for a house.
so no idea what it is but, something is being built on hutchinson, so thats always promising to see.
Does anyone know the date when the Stubbs Towers highrise at Anderson & Truman Parkway is going to be torn down?no idea but i wish they wouldnt. seems like a better idea to renovate and redo the outside than demolish and lose that housing density (and another highrise)
-
i heard from a friend recently that someone is planning a cultural arts center on skidaway island. anyone know anything about this?
-
I'm not sure, I really think we will remain in 3rd place(though perhaps not as distant) It seems that Augusta grows at about the same pace(probably slightly less) and it's already far ahead. We'd have a real chance if we incorporated more counties which seems unlikely.
i know what you're saying, and yes we would have to add more counties, even as fast as effingham and bryan are growing already, but it seems like the big projects in the counties adjoining the savannah msa are geared towards a "live there, work in savannah" plan. most of it is residential. with a highrise zoned area in jasper county now, with that growth, and mostly working in savannah, or so it seems planned, that could add jasper. Mcintosh county is doing the same thing(though isnt it part of another msa already?). either way, if we arent ahead of augusta, i dont think well be too far behind at that point and eventually i do believe we will claim 2nd, though you really cant tell these things, it all comes down to the chances the cites actually act upon. all we know for sure is both are going to be alot bigger in about 15 - 25 years! : ) and if that interstate between the two is ever built the other 2nd teir cities will be eating savannah and augusta's dust..... but thats an if.
-
I would say
Savannah - D.C. ( historical downtown, highrises across the river and in the burbs)
Charleston - ( a mini scale new york because its on a peninsula and already has the ground level density, though i dont see it going much taller)
Macon - Columbia
Augusta - Chattanooga
Atlanta - just an endless sea of skysrapers across north GA lol
-
Have yall forgotten about savannah here? charleston has been mention a ton but no savannah. i realize it doesnt get much rep here, but consider this:
the port of savannah is second now only to new york on the east coat, nd withing 5 - 10 years will double its size with a second port.
now as far as the city goes, it is going through a rennaisance, but i wouldnt call it anything special yet, the tallest things slated for construction within the next year or 2 are the two 10 - 11 story buildings in the river landing.
midtown is also starting to get some midrises, a few 6 story hotels have been planned, 1 already up.
so even if the city itself isn't going full tilt yet, savannah as a port should be recognized more more than it is now as a rising star.
we get to make money off of yall lol
