New Hotel on Centennial Pkwy

I never go to that part of the City, does anyone know if it was built?

Being built as we speak. The foundations are in and they're working on the first floor. Last I heard it was to be the first 6 story all wood structure after the government increased the height restriction for all wood buildings from 4 to 6 floors.

Apparently there is supposed to be a Moxies and Dennys in the hotel. Similar to how a Dennys is in the Sandman hotel off the QEW in Oakville/Burly. I believe Moxies and Sandman are owned by the same BC company.

EDIT: Found some news articles from May

The $12-million project is under the direction of British Columbia based Northland Properties, the driving force behind not only the Sandman Hotel Group, but also Moxie's Grill and Bar, the Chop Steakhouse and Bar, Denny's Restaurants, the Dallas Stars and the Northland Asset Management Company.

For this particular project, Sandman Hotels submitted a site plan application to the city for a six-storey hotel that also will include an indoor pool, a 432-square-metre Denny's restaurant and a 840.5-square-metre Moxie's Bar and Grill restaurant as well as 277 parking spaces. Upon completion, it is expected to employ approximately 350 people.

You have to think the Holiday Inn and Golden Griddle across the street will take a hit when this opens.
