Ground is ready to be broken at Riverside Village. Fansler Construction, contracted firm for Riverside Village master developer South City Partners, got the go-ahead to pull the construction permit on the bulk of new builds at the Village, some of the 315 apartments and just over 8,000 square feet of retail space across three projects in the Village. South City received planning commission approval for its projects in April, shortly after North Augusta City Council approved the new development plan for the future of Riverside Village .
Apartments over retail will go up on the land immediately south of the Crowne Plaza, adjacent to Sharon Jones Amphitheatre. The land transfers from former Riverside Village master developer Greenstone to South City went through early in August when South City purchased four properties for a combined $6.83 million .
North Augusta City Council recenlty approved lenient terms for Fansler’s construction permit, valid Sept. 17 of this year through May 31, 2026, allowing Fansler to work extended hours over the course of the work. Rules of use for North Augusta's boat dock finalized.
No fishing! It’s similar practice to how things were done when the first parts to Riverside Village went up in 2017 and 2018, City Administrator Jim Clifford said, and will help Fansler to “get in front of the workload” now. J.D.
McCauley, assistant city administrator, said the city is in “communication and coordination with all Riverside Village businesses and Hammonds Ferry residents.” The construction permit allows Fansler to work from 6 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.
m. to 5 p.m.
on Saturdays. Concrete pours will be permitted as early as 1 a.m.
, and Fansler is required to give the city 24 hours’ notice for this. McCauley said Fansler has a transportation plan set up and will be in coordination with North Augusta Department of Public Safety..
