440 Meinhard Rd, Port Wentworth, GA 31407

440 Meinhard Road, historically known as Hester Farms, represents one of the most strategically positioned commercial land opportunities in coastal Georgia. This ±12.27-acre C-2 zoned tract sits directly in the epicenter of Port Wentworth’s explosive expansion. Fronting Meinhard Road with 5,110 vehicles per day, the site captures commuter traffic while remaining minutes from major thoroughfares, corridors, and intersections such as Hwy 21 and Interstate 95. The city of Port Wentworth continues to maintain a pro-growth posture with streamlined permitting processes and business-friendly development policies designed to encourage commercial expansion to meet demands in it’s most rapidly intensifying growth corridor. As the only attached site to the main hub of Anchor Park: Ice Cove, this commercial parcel is primed to benefit from increased destination traffic and event-driven activity in addition to the daily commuter and resident demands.

Hester Farms is positioned immediately adjacent to the transformational 150-acre Anchor Park district, anchored by the Savannah Ghost Pirates Ice Cove Arena & 5,500+ Seat Amphitheatre, both nearing completion in 2026. Next phases of the park’s development include expanding entertainment and recreation infrastructure with regional tournament sized recreation fields and the Port Collective, a 13,000 SF mixed-use space featuring collaborative spaces and a potential food hall. Anchor Trail, a citywide connectivity trail concept akin to Atlanta’s Beltline is planned to increase access and connectivity for all residential zones in the city to and through Anchor Park, including along the shared property line with Hester Farms. As this district continues to mature, the surrounding commercial footprint is expected to evolve into a defined retail and service hub serving both daily-needs residents and destination-driven visitors.

Within a 2-mile radius, the site is supported by over 6,000 existing residential units and several thousand approved and under construction units in the pipeline within the broader 3–5 mile trade area. This sustained housing absorption, coupled with port expansion and employment growth alongside the $50 million investment in Anchor Park alone, reinforces long-term retail demand and commercial viability.

Located within a business-forward municipality offering efficient entitlement pathways and supportive development policies, Hester Farms provides developers the opportunity to establish an early foothold in a submarket transitioning from emerging to established commercial node. The combination of zoning flexibility, traffic exposure, residential growth, and proximity to regional infrastructure creates a compelling case for high-yield retail, QSR, service commercial, or mixed-use development.
