Positioned on Mountbatten Road Northeast on the North River Yacht Club property, the proposed project would feature 34 residential condominiums units, consisting of 22 two-bedroom units, 16 three-bedroom units, and four one-bedroom units.

The City of Tuscaloosa's Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the development earlier this month and recommended it to the full City Council for approval.

The development will also include 106 parking spaces and an outdoor amenity area that will feature a private pool with a view of Lake Tuscaloosa. If approved, condominium owners will be required to maintain a membership at North River Yacht Club.

According to the developer — NRYC Holdings, LLC — the project calls for a parking deck behind the building, which will not be visible from the lake, public streets or adjacent private properties

What's more, NRYC Holdings has expressed plans to city officials to renovate the existing restaurant at the location, while also adding a new 1,500-square-foot marina store building adjacent to the existing marina areas that will offer fuel and "miscellaneous items."

As part of these plans, NRYC Holdings says it hopes to renovate the marina area by removing all existing wood docks to then be replaced with new flotation system aluminum docks. The firm also plans to apply for a commercial pier permit for additional boat slips to include lifts.

The Tuscaloosa City Council's next regular meeting is set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23.
