Tuscaloosa city officials have gotten a first look at a proposed Sports Illustrated resort.

Last week, the city’s Riverfront Advisory Committee heard the proposal from representatives of Sports Illustrated, Travel+Leisure, Lamar Johnson Collaborative and TTL, Inc.

The resort, announced last year, will be part of a new network of sports-themed resort and lifestyle complexes in popular college towns near universities with devoted fan bases.

For Tuscaloosa, developers plan a nine-story, 137-room hotel with 150 condos and 250 timeshare units at 105 Rice Mine Rd. N., on the Black Warrior River.

Campus resorts will feature a full-service hotel, a vacation club, and residential condominiums, designed to immerses guests and owners in memorable moments drawn from almost seven decades of Sports Illustrated content. Resorts will feature live action sports and entertainment, quality dining, wellness, and relaxation, the companies said last year.

The first Sports Illustrated Resorts property opened in 2022 in Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic.

The Tuscaloosa project would be built in two phases, with construction beginning early next year and ending by the beginning of 2027.

The first phase would include the hotel, a restaurant, one timeshare and one condo building, along with three retail buildings and a central services building. The second phase would include four timeshare and condo buildings.
