In [[1985]], after years of failed development attempts by the [[Harbour Corporation]] and others, the [[City of Pensacola]] hired Orlando-based Florida Sun International, which had recently built the marina at [[Port Royal]], to develop a simplified plan called "Harbour Village at Pitt Slip." [[Sharpe, Inc.]] served as project contractor. The first phase, budgeted at $2.5 million, included a $1 million, 106-slip marina with a floating pontoon dock system and two 10,000-square-foot buildings, designed by architect [[Carter Quina]].<ref>"Pitt Slip's Harbour Village on track." ''Pensacola News Journal'', March 30, 1986.</ref> When the complex opened in [[1986]], its initial anchor tenant was the floating [[Good Neighbor Restaurant]].
 
  
Later phases were planned to add three more buildings along the southern portion of the property, but this never reached fruition. The complex was renamed "Seville Harbour" in {{date needed}}.
+
The Seville Harbour marina, formerly known as '''Pitt Slip''', is managed by the [[Marina Management Corp.]], which also runs the [[Palafox Pier]] and [[Bahia Mar Marina]]s.
  
The land in the Seville Harbour block was rezoned by the [[Pensacola City Council]] on [[June 24]], [[1999]] to allow residential construction.<ref>"Council vote gives boost to waterfront condos." ''Pensacola News Journal'', June 25, 1999.</ref> Developers [[Ray Russenberger]], [[John Carr]] and [[Doug Halford]] planned to build 30 upscale condominiums on the site, but the project fell through.{{fact}}
