The apartments and community center at 916 Martin Luther King Blvd. are designed to provide high-quality, affordable housing in Savannah. Made up of three 3-story buildings, these apartments are for small families who have been displaced or are at the risk of being displaced due to Savannah's high rent pricing. Each apartment includes living and dining rooms, as well as a kitchen, stackable washers and dryers, and a patio/porch. A central courtyard provides a connection point between all buildings and a place for kids to play and enjoy.

Special thanks to our team!

In 2012, Gunn Meyerhoff Shay helped Benedictine Military School shape a 20-Year Master Plan, laying the groundwork for a bold future. Phase 1 became a reality in 2016 with the groundbreaking of the new STEM Wing, now home to cutting-edge science labs, math and computer classrooms, a lecture hall, and a bright central atrium.

Take a look at the construction progress at the mass timber hotel designed by GMSHAY! This building is located in one of the original six squares of James Oglethorpe’s urban plan. It was intentionally designed using inspiration from the surrounding architecture. The hotel will be made with structural mass timber, and have skin of cast stone and brick masonry.
