A Montreal businessman, known for owning bars and apartment buildings, is opening a hotel in NDG.
Peter Sergakis is building a 3-floor, 98-room hotel in the lot located at 6645 St. Jacques St. just west of Cavendish Blvd.
He said the decision was made a long time ago, but then sued the city over infrastructure, namely unknown sewers beneath the land that were discovered "last minute".
"It's a decision we took 10 years ago and we had some problems with the city, but now everything's been taken care of, so we already started the building in September. It's not something that we decided now", said Sergakis.
He added the 15-million dollar hotel, which doesn't yet have a name, is expected to be ready for next summer.
