Continental Properties Announces Groundbreaking for Springs at Port Wentworth, a 240-Home Multifamily Community in the Savannah Submarket

PORT WENTWORTH, Ga. — Continental Properties is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of Springs at Port Wentworth, a new garden-style residential community featuring 240 apartment homes at the southwest corner of Highway 21 and Rice Mill Road in Port Wentworth, Georgia. The community will offer studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes with private ground-level entrances and attached garage options.

“At Continental, we take pride in creating communities that feel like home from day one,” said Heather Riggs, Senior Vice President of Multifamily Operations at Continental Properties. “Springs at Port Wentworth reflects that commitment—delivering the space, quality, and service that define the Springs brand, all in a thriving and fast-growing Savannah submarket.” 

Located along the rapidly growing Highway 21 corridor, Springs at Port Wentworth offers convenient access to major regional employers, including Hyundai MetPlant, Gulfstream Aerospace, and Savannah’s expanding healthcare sector. The nearby Port of Savannah, one of the nation’s fastest-growing container ports and a major driver of employment, is also undergoing a significant capacity expansion, further strengthening the region’s economic outlook. 

“Port Wentworth’s population has tripled since 2010, driven by major industrial and infrastructure investments that continue to strengthen housing demand,” said Trent Turner, Director of Acquisitions at Continental Properties. “This project reflects Continental’s commitment to creating high-quality housing in dynamic markets supported by sustained job and population growth. We appreciate the City of Port Wentworth’s collaboration and shared vision in bringing this community to life.” 

As part of the development, Continental partnered with the City of Port Wentworth to dedicate more than 47 acres for future public use, supporting infrastructure improvements and community green space as part of the City’s long-term revitalization efforts. 

Pre-leasing for Springs at Port Wentworth is expected to begin in fall 2026, with initial move-ins anticipated in late 2026, following the completion of the community clubhouse and first residential building.
