Abercorn Common

Abercorn Common is a shopping center in Savannah, Georgia. The center was the first retail center in the U.S. to become LEED-certified, meaning its design incorporates efficiency with attractive buildings and public spaces. The buildings and public spaces resemble Savannah's downtown historic district, with awnings, brick facades, fountains and brick-paved sidewalks. Palm trees, pampas grasses and willow trees are among the natural features. The shopping center dates back to the 1960s, when Abercorn Street was extended to form Abercorn Expressway. At the time, it was one of the first establishments on Savannah's southside, and now it forms the primary shopping corridor of Savannah. Located within several hundred feet are other major shopping centers, including: Oglethorpe Mall, Oglethorpe Plaza anchored by Best Buy and Kohl's, and Chatham Plaza anchored by World Market, Ross Dress For Less and hhgregg.
==History==

Abercorn Common opened in 1968 as Abercorn Plaza. At a mere , the Southside Savannah shopping center would grow to nearly . The center was originally anchored by M&M (Melaver and Melaver) Supermarkets. In the 1970s, the center was expanded to include Sam Solomon and later Service Merchandise and Western Auto. In 1985 the M&M Supermarket chain was sold to Kroger, but the Melaver family retained ownership of the buildings. The Abercorn Plaza M&M closed in 1991 when the chain was entirely folded into Kroger. A larger store nearby replaced it. The store, vacant barely a year, was converted into Books-A-Million and Michael's in 1992. Service Merchandise was downsized in the early 2000s and was split into two units. Also in early 2000 Melaver Inc. returned to their sustainable roots. Sustainability in Savannah was nudged forth by Melaver when they renovated their downtown Whitaker Building and made it LEED-NC.
