THE SAVANNAH COTTON EXCHANGE

A once-in-a-century opportunity: the legendary 1886 Cotton Exchange building—10,000 square feet of untouched Victorian grandeur with 30-foot ceilings, original stained glass, ornate terra cotta facade, and commanding Savannah River views—offered for the first time in 150 years and ready for transformation into an opulent residence, luxury apartments, or premier commercial destination on Bay Street's most iconic corner.

You unlock the doors to history itself—the 1886 Savannah Cotton Exchange, untouched for 150 years and now yours to reimagine. Sunlight cascades through original stained glass windows, illuminating elaborate woodwork that whispers tales of when Savannah reigned as America's cotton capital. Your footsteps echo across 10,000 square feet of soaring 30-foot ceilings as Savannah River views unfold through towering windows, framing passing ships and Bay Street's eternal parade below. Will you craft an opulent single residence—a baronial sanctuary where ornate terra cotta cotton motifs become your family crest? Perhaps luxury apartments generating exceptional returns from the 17 million annual visitors who traverse your doorstep? Or an exclusive private club where Savannah's elite gather beneath chandeliers, surrounded by architectural poetry? This iconic four-floor Victorian masterpiece offers something beyond mere real estate—it delivers a blank canvas of historic grandeur in the National Historic Landmark District, where preservation tax incentives sweeten an already extraordinary acquisition. Standing sentinel on the Savannah River, your Cotton Exchange awaits its next chapter, and you hold the pen.
