Dermody is launching development of Port Wentworth Commerce Center, a 1,065-acre, 10 million-square-foot master-planned logistics project located 6.5 miles from the Port of Savannah in Georgia.

It is expected to be the largest near-port logistics development to begin construction in the Southeast this year. The site is the closest to a U.S. major seaport that can accommodate buildings of 1 million square feet or larger.

The Port of Savannah is the fastest-growing port in the U.S. and the third-busiest seaport in the nation. The Georgia Ports Authority states the port facility generates 35 ships per week, 42 double-stack container trains per week and 7,000 trucks each business day. GPA is investing $4.5 billion over the next 10 years to grow the port’s capacity and competitiveness.
