In what will likely be its final session, the current City Council voted Monday to approve a 23-story Gulf-front condo tower on the site of the Blue Luxe resort and agreed to give the banks that own the foreclosed Mandolay Beach property until mid January to find a buyer for the project.

The Blue Luxe condo — unlike the Hotel Indigo that was approved there this summer — likely won’t be built for several years. When and if it ever is, developers will be able to construct 40 condos there
