Located in Savannah’s historic neighborhood, Savannah Gardens is the redevelopment of Strathmore Estates, a 44 acre site that contained 380 units of affordable rental housing located on Savannah’s east side. Mercy Housing partnered with CHSA Development and the City of Savannah to redevelop this community, first built in the 1940s. Savannah Gardens Phase I completed construction in December 2011 and includes 115 units of affordable family housing. A large public park is in the center of the development. The entire Savannah Gardens project is part of an EarthCraft Costal Community ensuring sustainable development and energy efficiency.
