The new Rivers & Glen location will carry popular brands of apparel, luggage, fly fishing and hunting equipment including Orvis, Barbour, Patagonia, Filson, Simms, Fishpond and much more.
“Savannah has been on our radar for some time and we are really excited to have found the perfect location,” said Walter Hopkins, owner of Rivers & Glen. “I feel that this is a destination that will serve local patrons well in a vibrant downtown. The building’s charm and aesthetics complement our benchmark of quality in an unmatched setting.”

Built during the Art Deco era in 1921, The Realty Building has undergone significant exterior and interior enhancements including energy saving improvements, an upgraded fire safety system, upgraded elevator system, and a new cooling tower which will be installed in the coming months.
The 10-story Realty Building is one of the tallest commercial buildings in Chatham County and includes nearly 60,000 square feet of commercial and retail office space.
Ideally situated between Reynolds Square and Johnson Square – the hub of legal, banking and municipal businesses in the downtown area – The Realty Building is adjacent to The Olde Pink House and within walking distance of many of the city’s finest hotels, parks, museums, shops and award-winning restaurants.
