I have solved the mystery ... well sort of!
Building Permit issued in 2021:
New Building - Issued - 2811 ISLEVILLE ST, HALIFAX - $20'000'000 - Dwelling - Multiple Units - 72 Units - 11 Floors - MIXED-USE 70 ROOM HOTEL AND COMMERCIAL
So this was before I tracked building permits. What happened is the original development agreement from 2016 was approved but expired when construction didn't commence within 5 years. The zoning on the lands before Centre Plan was enacted was commercial which would allow a larger as-of-right building for those uses. The developer must of gotten approval for the hotel just in time. The current zoning only allows a 20m max height.

It may of taken 21 months to reply but yes EastCoastal the rumours are true and this will be a hotel.
