RIVR RE has represented Callen Trust on a new five-year retail lease renewal with Nourish at Plant Riverside District, River Street, Savannah, Georgia. The natural soap and bath products retailer will continue to occupy their 1,500 square foot space directly opposite the JW Marriott on one of Savannah’s most visited retail and entertainment corridors. David Gaule and Mandy Henderson of RIVR acted on behalf of the landlord throughout the transaction.

About Nourish

Nourish is a Savannah-based natural soap, bath, and skincare retailer with a loyal following among locals and visitors alike. The store specialises in handcrafted, natural bath products — soaps, bath fizzies, skincare, and gift collections — with a particular strength in the tourist and gifting market that Plant Riverside District consistently delivers.

The decision to renew for a further five years reflects the performance of the location and the strength of Nourish’s customer base on River Street. Lease renewals are often overlooked as a story compared to new signings, but they carry a specific signal that matters to landlords and investors: an existing tenant who knows the location, knows the footfall, and knows the competition has chosen to commit for another full term. 

About Plant Riverside District and the River Street Retail Market

Plant Riverside District is Savannah’s premier mixed-use entertainment and retail destination, anchored by the AAA Four Diamond JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District at 400 West River Street. The 4.5-acre development brings together culinary experiences, live music, high-end shopping, luxury hotel accommodation, and art galleries in a setting that draws both Savannah residents and the city’s substantial visitor economy year-round.

The retail environment at Plant Riverside is unlike anywhere else in the Savannah market. The development’s combination of a luxury hotel anchor, a Live Nation concert venue, multiple rooftop bars, and a riverfront location generates a uniquely diverse and high-spending customer base — corporate visitors, hotel guests, tourists, event attendees, and local residents — that sustains retail occupancy and performance even in softer consumer environments.

For landlords with retail assets at Plant Riverside or in the broader River Street corridor, the fundamentals are strong: limited supply, high footfall, and a customer profile that consistently outperforms the Savannah average. A five-year lease renewal from an established, trading tenant at this location is precisely the kind of stable, income-generating occupancy that underpins asset value and supports favourable financing terms.
