On the market for the 1st time in 150 yrs, the stunning 1886 Savannah Cotton Exchange presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for residential, mixed-use, or commercial investment/development. Currently a Masonic Lodge, this iconic brick building, located on the Savannah River & in the Nat'l Historic Landmark District, stands ready for its next incarnation: your new vision. Imagine an opulent residence w elaborate woodwork, stained glass windows, a 30 ft ceiling, & world-class views of the river & Bay Street. Or convert the 4-flr space to income-producing luxury apartments. The stunning, 10,000 sq ft structure was built when Savannah was America's #1 cotton distributor, as illustrated by the terra cotta facade's ornate cotton motifs. Most of the city's 17M annual visitors stroll Bay St to sightsee, dine, shop, & access River Street, enough foot traffic to support upscale retail, a signature restaurant, high-end event space, private club & more. Possible preservation tax incentives.
