We’re thrilled to share that Patrick Malloy Communities’ stunning river-edge development, Upper East River, has been featured in Architectural Digest in an article titled “A Seamless Conversation Between Centuries: Savannah’s Upper East River Weaves the Future Into the Past.”
A Spotlight on Design Excellence
Being featured in Architectural Digest — a leading voice in architecture, design and real-estate — is no small feat. It signals that Upper East River isn’t just another new community: it’s one that thoughtfully engages with place, context, and history. The article highlights how the development “feels uncannily rooted in the city’s architectural grammar” and “reads like an anthology of forms” rather than a cookie-cutter project.
What sets Upper East River apart
- Respect for place. The development sits on a sliver of riverfront east of downtown Savannah, on a site once dominated by warehouses and industry.
- Architecture with depth. The article notes that brick facades, pitched roofs, operable shutters, and intricate balcony ironwork echo Savannah’s legacy townhouses, while interiors are modernized for open-living and gallery-like spaces.
- Master-planning that listens. Instead of stamping one aesthetic across the blocks, the community “resists the flattening impulse of many master-planned communities” and allows distinct building types — townhomes, lofts, carriage houses — each pulling from a different thread of Savannah’s architectural legacy.
- River-front living revived. The neighborhood’s relationship to the river is “ancient and complex,” and the development is recognized for reclaiming the waterfront as a place to live — to wake to tidal rhythms, to watch ships slide by, to have the river as boundary rather than backdrop.
Recognition of Timeless Craftsmanship
For Patrick Malloy Communities, this recognition reinforces the company’s commitment to thoughtful, context-sensitive, high-quality development. It shows that Upper East River is not only a desirable place to live but also one that contributes meaningfully to the architectural and urban fabric of Savannah.
