Project bound for downtown Savannah island comes into focus

Plans for an island community within belching distance of Savannah’s party epicenter River Street are coming into clearer focus, promising a “seamless blend of island ease with urban energy” in a uniquely coastal Georgia locale, per developers.
Formerly known as The Reserve at Savannah Harbor, the 36-acre, multi-phase project has been rebranded “The Isling at Savannah Harbor,” and the first rendering illustrating its scope was supplied this week to Urbanize Atlanta.
National residential developer Trilogy Investment Company partnered last year with Atlanta-based real estate investment firm Kingdom Estates to acquire The Isling’s parcel on Hutchinson Island in Savannah’s River District for $17 million. The site counts a few large homes and some infrastructure in place today, next to golf course links.
The development team hopes to capitalize on downtown Savannah’s cachet and growth around the city that’s recently been described as “explosive.”
The property is set across the Savannah River from the city’s famed River Street, virtually in the shadow of the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. It’s a five-minute drive—or short ferry ride—from Savannah’s downtown Historic District, according to project leaders.
The Isling’s name is derived from the Irish word meaning “dream”—which sounds fitting, from a marketing standpoint, for what’s described as a luxury-grade, waterfront mini town with a golf course at its doorstep and the Hostess City’s world-class food scene across the way.
The initial phase, slated to begin construction this quarter, will see 90 homes total—a mix of townhomes, duets, and single-family dwellings. Trilogy’s schedule calls for delivering that in the third quarter of this year—a quick turnaround.
Pricing for The Isling has yet to be specified.
When completed, The Isling will see 198 homes in what Trilogy officials call a mix of Coastal and Lowcountry architectural styles and floorplans meant to complement the island’s scenery. Those will include single-family dwellings with city views, deep-water river homes, rowhomes, duets (that’s fancy speak for “duplex”), as well as golf course and terrace properties.
Custom home design and build company Southern Coastal Homes is onboard for construction, in partnership with architecture firm A Classical Studio.
“Our goal is to create a lifestyle-focused community that nurtures connections and enhances life’s everyday moments,” Jason Joseph, Trilogy’s CEO and managing partner, said in a project update this week. “The Isling captures the essence of what makes Lowcountry living so special, all while providing easy access to the vibrancy of downtown Savannah.”
We’ve asked project officials for an outlook on when the full community might be finished, and we’ll update this story with any additional details that come.
Trilogy officials say the project continues their goal of building needed housing throughout the Sunbelt—both for-sale and rental options.
Today, Hutchinson Island’s primary attraction is the Savannah Convention Center and Westin Hotel, with 18-hole the Club at Savannah Harbor golf course next door.
Also on the island, the 35-acre, mixed-use Savannah Harbor project is taking shape with residences, retail, and greenspace. (Across the river from that is yet another large waterfront project nearing completion, the Upper East River district, where some new penthouses are priced north of $8 million.)
Elsewhere on Hutchinson Island, the IGY Savannah Harbor Marina—featuring 100 berths for all types of vessels, including more than 1,000 linear feet for deep-draft superyachts—is set to open near the convention center this spring.
