    Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system with Davis complex Σ\Sigma. The polyhedral automorphism group GG of Σ\Sigma is a locally compact group under the compact-open topology. If GG is a discrete group (as characterised by Haglund--Paulin), then the set Vu(G)\mathcal V_u(G) of uniform lattices in GG is discrete. Whether the converse is true remains an open problem. Under certain assumptions on (W,S)(W,S), we show that Vu(G)\mathcal V_u(G) is non-discrete and contains rationals (in lowest form) with denominators divisible by arbitrarily large powers of any prime less than a fixed integer. We explicitly construct our lattices as fundamental groups of complexes of groups with universal cover Σ\Sigma. We conclude with a new proof of an already known analogous result for regular right-angled buildings
