Like any great lady, Savannah constantly reinvents herself. In the 18th century she was a burgeoning port, full of life and commerce. In the 19th century she added spectacular architecture, an important role in the cotton trade and the Civil War, and a number of thriving cultural institutions to her repertoire. Savannah's laid-back attitude in the 20th century and her stunning built and natural environments became a backdrop for a winning way of life, unmatched anywhere else in America. It's no wonder that even dyspeptic writers like Bill Bryson call Savannah the "perfect" city.

Savannah has always been on the cutting-edge of architectural trends. Our working port has happily coexisted with the tourist trade on River Street for decades, leading the way for cities as varied as San Antonio and Portland, Maine as they merge their commercial and retail districts. Savannah's downtown supermarkets often reflect Savannah's rich history, taking their cue from the old City Market. The award-winning Jepson Center for the Arts, built in 2006, is a triumph of both contemporary design and civic cooperation. Even a formerly ignored building such as the Drayton Tower, an impressive example of International style architecture now being restored to its former glory, is now hailed as a masterpiece of mid-20th century design. It also faces the DeRenne Building, a beautiful example of the late Beaux Arts style.

Since the early nineteen-nineties, a renewed interest in urban revitalization has spiked the number of loft and condo projects in major urban areas all around the country. Downtown Savannah is no exception. A number of lofts cropping up in the Savannah area are new construction, but some of the most interesting projects are happening in dilapidated historic retail and residential spaces all around downtown.

What exactly is a loft? Essentially, a loft is very similar to a condominium. Like a condo, a loft is typically a portion of a property owned separately from the other units in a building. Additionally, the common areas are usually maintained by the homeowners association. Lofts are known for expansive rooms, open layouts -- sometimes without any separation between living areas.

What does all of this new construction mean for buyers? It's the classic Adam Smithian scenario: high supply equals lower prices and more choices. With interest rates still at historic lows and a wide range of units on the market, buyers have their pick: a loft-style studio with modern finishes? Check. A two-bedroom flat in a converted Victorian clapboard home? You got it. A luxury three-bedroom duplex with views overlooking the city or marsh? Absolutely. As Liz Giddens, a top-producing agent at Keller Williams Realty-Savannah Downtown explains, "With so much variety in the condo market, there's no reason not to buy. Downtown Savannah offers everything from ultra-modern units on Broughton Street to condos in restored rowhouses on Jones Street, even LEED-certified green design units in the new Frogtown development off of MLK Blvd. If you've been thinking about purchasing a condo, with interest rates still low, now is the time!"
