Abercorn Common

[1] The buildings and public spaces resemble Savannah's downtown historic district, with awnings, brick facades, fountains and brick-paved sidewalks.

Sustainability in Savannah was nudged forth by Melaver when they renovated their downtown Whitaker Building and made it LEED-NC.

Using such features as reflective roofs, water conserving appliances (i.e. sinks and toilets) and the use of low-volatile organic compounds (VOC) (i.e., paints and sealants), the center became LEED silver-certified.

There is also a cistern located behind the building that collects 5.5 million US gallons (21,000 m3) of water retained from the roof and parking lot.

The money was donated to The Coastal Georgia Land Trust and the Savannah Tree Foundation.

The land area gained became a triangle at the intersection of three streets: Abercorn Expressway, White Bluff Road and Fairmont Avenue.
