{{main|Pitt's Slip}}
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."
