When you think of Savannah, images of cobblestone streets, centuries-old oak trees, and elegant architecture often come to mind. It’s a city with a soul, where history and modernity weave seamlessly together. Upper East River, the final residential neighborhood along the Savannah River, was designed to honor that spirit while reimagining what luxury living means in today’s Hostess City. What sets this community apart is not just its prime riverfront location, but the thoughtful craftsmanship, enduring design, and bold vision that shaped it.
A Builder With Purpose: Patrick Malloy Communities
At the heart of Upper East River is Patrick Malloy Communities, a name synonymous with integrity and excellence in home building. Founder Patrick Malloy saw more than just the last parcel of land on Savannah’s historic riverfront; he saw a responsibility. As he puts it, “We owe it to Savannah to develop this neighborhood slowly, thoughtfully, and in a manner that is consistent with the architectural integrity of the city.”
That philosophy is evident in every detail, from the neighborhood’s master plan to the materials selected. This isn’t just another development—it’s what Malloy and his team call a legacy project, designed to stand the test of time.
Architectural Integrity Meets Modern Living
Savannah’s identity is inseparable from its architecture, and Upper East River pays homage to that with homes that nod to history while embracing today’s innovations. Every home type in the community—from the charming Adler townhomes to the bold, Art Deco-inspired Mayors residences—was designed to balance tradition and modernity.
Some remarkable details that underscore this craftsmanship include:
- Hand-tumbled brickwork on Adler homes, echoing old-world techniques.
- Commercial-grade construction standards applied to The Mayors, ensuring the strength and scale required for its unique full-floor layouts.
- Deep foundational work informed by centuries of Savannah River deposits, ensuring structural integrity for generations to come.
- Signature finishes like Circa Lighting, found consistently throughout the neighborhood, chosen for both timeless appeal and durability.
Every design choice reflects a commitment to authenticity, ensuring that Upper East River feels like a natural extension of Savannah’s historic fabric.
A Vision Beyond Homes
Upper East River is not just about beautiful residences. It’s about creating a vibrant community that reflects the vision of a New South. Anchored within Eastern Wharf, a 54-acre district of parks, restaurants, shops, offices, and hospitality, the neighborhood places residents at the intersection of history and progress.
From the upcoming Geo Meyer House, a resort-style amenity center complete with pools, a café, and a fitness facility, to the new 23rd city square of Savannah located within the community, every element fosters connection and lifestyle. It’s a neighborhood designed to be lived in fully, whether you’re strolling along the river, entertaining on a porch, or exploring the cultural heartbeat of downtown just steps away.
A Legacy on the River
What truly makes Upper East River different is the fusion of place, purpose, and people. It’s the last chapter in Savannah’s riverfront story .. a community that not only respects its surroundings but elevates them. By combining thoughtful building practices, timeless design, and a vision for connected living, Upper East River has created something rare: a neighborhood that honors Savannah’s past while embracing its future.
Welcome to the river’s edge. Welcome to a life designed with intention. Welcome to Upper East River.
