The Seville Theatre block development is being revived and will include a lot of condos and storefronts, but not the student housing that had once been planned. We probably have Phyllis Lambert to thank for this.
(Note to the Gazette: “on the block” normally means up for auction or, by extension, for sale. That’s not what the story is about, and it isn’t the first time your paper has sacrificed meaning for a pun or snappy-sounding headline. People read fast and it’s not helpful to write heads that are actively misleading.)
