CDP breaks ground on new Savannah Port Logistics Centre


Capital Development Partners has begun construction on the $125m Savannah Port Logistics Center. The 2.3 million-square foot campus is being developed to meet the needs of import, export and e-commerce customers of the Port of Savannah, the fastest growing and largest single-container port in the U.S. 

The 190-acre industrial campus will offer dual rail service, transload capability and more than 2,000 container storage positions. The dual rail capability will allow customers to ship via Norfolk Southern and CSX Tier 1 railroads.

The Savannah Port Logistics Center will also feature multiple routes to the port and access to major Interstates (I-16 to Atlanta and the Midwest and I-95 up the eastern seaboard).

“The Savannah Port Logistics Center is the most significant industrial and logistics development in the southeast,” said John Knox Porter, Chief Executive Officer of Capital Development Partners. “Our facilities and infrastructure will provide a significant advantage for our customers.” 

The massive demand for modern industrial and logistics facilities is fuelled by the widening of the Panama Canal and the global e-commerce boom. The enhanced Panama Canal allows ships to triple capacity providing a significant cost/productivity advantage for the Savannah Port. Building I is a 1,075,000-square foot industrial facility featuring a 40-foot ceiling, cross dock capability and dual rail service ready for occupancy in April 2019. Building II is a 1,310,400-square foot industrial facility featuring a 40-foot clear ceiling, cross dock capability and dual rail service. Construction is expected to begin on Building II in late 2018. 

The Savannah Port Logistics Center is a joint venture between Capital Development Partners and Greenfield Partners, a $3bn real estate investment management firm.
