JLL Tapped to Lease 1,500-Acre Rail Park in Savannah

Georgia Exports Company has tapped JLL as the exclusive broker to represent Georgia International Rail Park, a 1,500-acre, master-planned, dual rail-served park in Savannah.

Located 14 miles northwest of the Georgia Ports Authority’s Garden City Container Terminal, the utility-served park features direct service from rail providers CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern. The site has the potential to accommodate over 13 million square feet of warehouse, distribution and manufacturing space, and will undergo three phases of development.

A JLL team made up of Chris Tomasulo, Dr. Walter Kemmsies and Bennett Rudder, as well as Mark Hall with Judge Realty, will market sites for sale or build-to-suit on behalf of the owner.

“GIRP’s close proximity to the GPA’s Garden City Terminal offers strategic and geographic business advantages,” said Tomasulo. “Access to global markets via the Georgia Ports Authority is a key draw for manufacturing and logistics companies coming to the area.”
