Developer Eyes Old Candler Hospital For Mixed-Use Development
Synopsis:
Underutilized since 1980, the Warren Candler Hospital on Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia, has big plans underway. WECCO is now working on the details to adapt this old hospital into a truly livable mixed-use area. The old halls will soon be home to new retail and office space as well as rental apartments catered toward young professionals. The complex of two buildings has seen some utility since the hospital closed, but it those uses were minimal and short lived. The new plan will help to solidify the developments place in the Historic District and bring a new vitality to the area. Much work needs to be done due to years of neglected, but the developer has noted that the structure has very strong bones. Savannah will certainly benefit from this project in the long run.
