Agreed. Such a dense development, would have been nice to at least have a corner store. I assume the hotel will at least have a restaurant, no?

Apparently, the 25 and 27 storey towers will start construction right after this one is complete.

No hotel component, it's furnished rental suites.

The 8 story building is a hotel/extended stay component.

From the developer in a direct conversation with me: 'Phase 1 (under construction) includes tower "LUX-U" (standard units) and "LUX-PLUS" (all inclusive, fully furnished units)'.

I'm not saying it doesn't have a hotel component, but it doesn't sound like it does from that statement.

The website is still very much referring to it as the LUX Hotel and Extended stay suites.

Awesome! Definitely looks like it's a hotel as well!

Really hoping they keep those yellow and orange details.

It looks like they will indeed! Take a look at the mechanical unit on the roof of the low-rise portion. It is clad in a yellowy/orangey aluminum siding.

Some of that empty land you see there is already spoken for. The lot beside Lux had a proposal for a seniors home. Add in the development on Cummings on the other side of Ogilvie. And the coming redevelopment of the Mandarin Ogilvie plaza and by the end of this decade, this area will be something else.
