Savannah has long been celebrated for its historic squares, distinctive architecture, and storied waterfront. Now, a new chapter is taking shape along the Savannah River, where Upper East River is blending the character of one of America’s most recognizable historic cities with a new generation of luxury residences and resort-style living.
Located just steps from Historic Downtown Savannah, Upper East River offers a rare combination: new construction on the riverfront within easy reach of the restaurants, galleries, shopping, and cultural attractions that have made Savannah an internationally recognized destination.
Rather than creating a community that feels separate from its surroundings, Upper East River was designed to become a natural extension of Savannah. Walkable streetscapes, traditional masonry, thoughtfully detailed architecture, and a signature City Square reflect the elements that have defined the city for generations.
Brick is especially prominent throughout the neighborhood. Long associated with Savannah’s historic residences and riverfront warehouses, the material brings warmth, texture, and permanence to the community’s architecture.
The Adler townhomes illustrate that approach with hand-tumbled brick façades inspired by old-world craftsmanship. Behind the traditional exteriors are sophisticated contemporary interiors designed for modern lifestyles, creating homes that feel established while providing the conveniences buyers expect from new luxury construction.
For an elevated riverfront experience, The Mayors offer full-floor residences combining expansive Savannah River views with floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant materials, and Art Deco-inspired architectural influences. The residences provide a more contemporary interpretation of Savannah style while maintaining a connection to the city’s architectural heritage.
Upper East River is also entering its next phase as construction moves forward on the community’s resort amenity, scheduled to open in early 2027. The addition will further enhance the neighborhood’s lifestyle component, allowing homeowners to enjoy resort-inspired amenities within their own riverfront community while remaining close to the energy of Downtown Savannah.
The resort represents another step in Upper East River’s evolution from a collection of luxury residences into a complete lifestyle destination.
That combination is increasingly important in the luxury real estate market, where buyers are looking beyond square footage and finishes. Location, walkability, architecture, amenities, and a strong sense of place have become equally important parts of the buying decision.
Upper East River delivers those elements in a setting that would be difficult to recreate elsewhere.
Here, historic inspiration does not mean replicating the past. Brick, wood, metal, glass, and stone are layered together in ways that acknowledge Savannah’s architectural traditions while allowing the neighborhood to establish an identity of its own.
As Savannah’s eastern riverfront continues to evolve, Upper East River offers buyers the opportunity to experience the city from a new perspective, combining river views, contemporary luxury, walkability, and authentic Savannah character.
