Connecting historic
Downtown Savannah with
the city’s new chapter.

Facing honorably back towards Downtown Savannah, at an impressive 263 feet long and 78 feet high, the Western-facing parking deck façade at Eastern Wharf is a stunning example of urban design and placemaking that perfectly encapsulates the city's unique spirit and charm.

This ode to the city and its citizens serves as a beacon of innovation while simultaneously honoring Savannah's rich history and architectural heritage.

As the city continues to evolve and grow, the Eastern Wharf parking deck façade stands as a symbol of progress and a testament to the power of progress.

The easily noticeable deck façade, seen when coming from General McIntosh Boulevard, acts as a link between the historic district and Eastern Wharf. It also connects Savannah's past with its contemporary vision.

Faced with such a large blank canvas, our team turned to our original brand research for inspiration and found it among Augustus Koch’s 1891 map illustration of the original Eastern Wharves District.

The Mural at Eastern Wharf stands as Savannah’s largest mural to date, taking a team of five more than 100 working hours and 140 gallons of paint to complete.

With this artful and elevated depiction of the site as a thriving hub of industry in mind, we were able to recreate this historic perspective in a dynamic new way – one that perfectly mirrored the site’s orientation along the waterfront and integrated into the design and experience of the structure.
