Blakely Commons At Savannah Quarters

DISCOVER COASTAL GEORGIA
A LEADING REGION IN THE SOUTHEAST

Savannah is growing westward, Pooler is growing southward — and Blakely Commons is strategically situated along both of those paths of opportunity.

The region is home to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, the area’s largest employer and builder of the world’s fastest and most technologically advanced civilian aircraft. Other major companies in Pooler include Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems and JCB North America. The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport serves two million passengers per year, and the newly-opened Tanger Outlets boasts 85 designer stores. Nearby, Savannah’s National Landmark Historic District attracted 13.5 million visitors last year.

Considered one of the most beautiful cities in the nation, Savannah attracts new resident and visitor numbers that exceed the national average every year. Additionally, Savannah boasts a diverse and strong economy that has enjoyed steady growth over the past decade. This blends with a high-quality, low cost of living and stunning natural beauty to create a location that is truly unique in the nation. Its cultural, artistic, athletic and recreational experiences give life an eclectic and energetic feel.

Other suburban areas outside of Savannah are also experiencing dramatic growth. Statesboro, home to Georgia Southern University, and Bluffton, SC, home of world-class development Palmetto Bluff, are dynamic communities attracting an ever-increasing number of affluent residents. The fifteen counties within a 30-minute drive of the Blakely Commons campus are home to more than 625,000 potential patients and are experiencing population growth six times greater than that of Chatham County, in which Savannah is located.
