Elmwood & Company, in partnership with Jadian IOS, is pleased to offer for lease 420 Telfair Road, a 6.6-acre heavy industrial outdoor storage facility custom-designed for container depot and truck terminal operations within the primary port logistics corridor of Savannah, Georgia. The property is located 1.4 miles from Interstate 16, 1.2 miles from Interstate 516, 3.6 miles from Garden City Terminal, and 4.4 miles from Ocean Terminal. Available immediately. An optional 10,000 to 20,000 square foot build-to-suit is available to qualified tenants.
This site operated previously as the OptiX container yard, and was purpose-configured for high-volume container storage and depot activity, and the infrastructure reflects that use. The subgrade consists of 18-inch granite aggregate base with 48-inch cement-stabilized soil beneath, among the most robust yard specifications available in this corridor and engineered specifically to sustain the concentrated loads associated with container stacking and heavy equipment movement. Security is provided by two 20-foot electric gates with OMRON keypad access. The perimeter is enclosed with seven-foot chain link fencing with barbed wire. Full perimeter lighting is installed throughout the site.
The surrounding corridor is occupied by established port logistics operators including CMC Logistics, NFI Industries, Old Dominion Freight Line, Knight Transportation, Eastern Drayage, JIT Trucking, Veteran Carriers, Transatlantic Shipping, Camin Cargo, and Electrosteel USA. The CSX intermodal rail line runs directly adjacent to the southern boundary of the parcel, providing providing potential for rail-served access that few sites in this market can offer.
The site is well suited for container depot operators, drayage companies, motor carriers, NVOCCs, and freight forwarders requiring yard space proximate to both GPA terminals. The cement-stabilized subgrade and existing yard configuration make this an operationally ready location for any operator currently managing container volumes through the Port of Savannah. The optional build-to-suit provides flexibility for tenants requiring enclosed maintenance, inspection, or office space integrated directly into the yard.
The Port of Savannah handled 5.7 million TEUs in fiscal year 2025, an increase of 8.6 percent over the prior year, and accounts for one in eight containers moving through United States ports. The GPA's $1.4 billion Ocean Terminal expansion reaches full completion in June 2026, extending total berth length to 2,650 feet and adding eight Super Post-Panamax electric cranes. The port's long-range capacity target of 12 million TEUs by 2035 represents a sustained increase in demand for off-dock container storage within close proximity to both terminals. 420 Telfair Road is positioned directly within that demand zone, on a site with a proven operational history serving exactly that demand.
Lease type is NNN. Lease rate is available upon request. Available immediately. For more information please contact: Zachary Zakas · 912.417.0009 | zachary.zakas@elmwood.co | Ross Scherma · 508.468.6969 · ross.scherma@elmwood.co
