Plant Riverside District sits on a landmark historic site. Prior to the Riverside Station, it was home to the city’s original freight port, connecting Savannah’s inland canals and rail yards to the shipping channel and Atlantic Ocean.

Plant Riverside District is Savannah’s largest and most transformative adaptive reuse development to date, converting a 1912 power plant into the city’s new epicenter of culture and entertainment.

The colony of Georgia began on Savannah’s waterfront in 1733. From fine dining to adult slushies to can’t-miss festivals, this famous cobblestone street has something for everyone.

Rails on Savannah’s River Street are historic remnants of the “River Street Rambler” freight line, which operated from 1889 until roughly 2001. Later used for a tourist streetcar from 2009 to 2015, the tracks are now largely abandoned or partially removed due to redevelopment.
