Discover insights on one of downtown Savannah’s most significant engineering firm office transactions. RIVR RE has represented both the landlord and tenant on a new office lease with CHA Consulting at 317 Tattnall Street in Savannah, Georgia. The national engineering, design, and program management firm has established its Savannah office at this downtown Historic District address — making it the firm’s sole Georgia coast location. David Gaule and Mandy Henderson of RIVR acted on behalf of both parties throughout the transaction, completing another dual-representation mandate in Savannah’s downtown office market.

The CHA Consulting lease at 317 Tattnall Street adds a nationally recognised engineering firm to the downtown Savannah office market — a tenant profile that complements the growing concentration of infrastructure and technical professional services firms that have committed to the city’s Historic District in recent years.

About CHA Consulting

Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Albany, New York, CHA Consulting is a full-service engineering, design, consulting, and program and construction management firm delivering solutions to infrastructure challenges across government, transportation, water, utilities, commercial, education, and industrial sectors. Operating from more than 100 offices across the United States, CHA brings decades of experience to large-scale capital improvement programmes, infrastructure design, and construction management for public and private sector clients.

CHA’s Savannah office at 317 Tattnall Street serves as the firm’s Coastal Georgia and Low Country base, supporting engineering, design, and consulting mandates across a region that is experiencing one of the most significant periods of infrastructure investment in its history. The Port of Savannah’s ongoing expansion, the Hyundai Electric Vehicle manufacturing metasite in Bryan County, and the broader infrastructure demands generated by Savannah’s growing population and industrial economy create a substantial and sustained workload for engineering firms with the capability and credentials to serve major public and private sector clients in this market.

CHA’s arrival in downtown Savannah is consistent with a pattern visible across the city’s professional services office market — nationally credentialed firms in engineering, infrastructure, and technical consulting are establishing or expanding Savannah offices specifically to be closer to the port and industrial projects that define the regional economy.

About 317 Tattnall Street

317 Tattnall Street is a downtown Savannah address in the Historic District, situated in the professional services and legal corridor that runs between Bay Street and Forsyth Park along the city’s western grid. The street takes its name from Josiah Tattnall, one of Georgia’s early governors, and sits within the landmark district that defines Savannah’s architectural and commercial character.

The location provides CHA with a prestigious downtown address well-suited to a professional services firm that regularly interfaces with public sector clients, port authorities, municipal agencies, and private developers — all of whom are concentrated in or frequently visit Savannah’s Historic District core. The address also places CHA within walking distance of the city’s legal, financial, and governmental institutions, a practical advantage for a firm whose engineering and infrastructure work regularly involves regulatory approvals, public agency relationships, and construction management oversight.

RIVR’s Growing Downtown Office Practice

The CHA Consulting transaction is RIVR’s fourth completed downtown office lease — alongside AECOM and Reeves Young at 33 Bull Street, and the broader pattern of professional services firm office transactions that RIVR has managed across the Historic District. That concentration of downtown office leasing experience gives RIVR an unmatched understanding of the available stock, the landlord relationships, and the tenant profile that Savannah’s downtown professional services corridor attracts.

The dual-representation mandate on this transaction — where RIVR acted for both the landlord and CHA as tenant — reflects the depth of those relationships and the market intelligence that enables RIVR to bring both sides of a transaction to a successful close without the need for competing advisors.
