Developers and real estate agents of the stalled University Corners development are refunding deposit checks to about 105 people who reserved units.The project, which is planned for the northwest corner of 13th Street and West University Avenue, has remained an empty lot since April 2007.University Corners had been depending on money from a Gainesville tax-incentive program.

The decision to redesign the development will not be made until the Florida Supreme Court rules on an appeal, said Henry Rabell, a broker associate for Bosshardt Realty.
