No details on what they're going to be yet, but a retail unit along King and the other on Peter have indicated that they're now leased:

Does this mean the corner of the hotel lobby is becoming a grocery store? Seems odd..?

This may be the grocery space.

That's extremely odd to me, it's not a large space and its interior is finished. Exactly like the rest of the hotel lobby. From what I saw before the window wrap went up, I would've imagined it was suppose to be the hotel cafe/bar/restaurant.

It was!
If it's an application to subdivide, my guess is that it's Retail 1, 2 and 3 (or 4) on King here. None of those is large enough for a grocery store though. Interesting.

Tenant fit out commencing. Good mix of uses lined up for the 5 units here:

Any idea how the permits are allocated across the retail spaces? I'm glad they didn't end up leasing them all as one big chunk, but still confused as to how a grocery store works in here!

Permitting is handled by the tenants. There is no 'grocery store' here in the sense that you may be thinking - that was just bad wording on the City's part.

Retail 1 facing King is jewelry store The Blumz (https://theblumz.com/)
And restaurant space will be Pigeon Cafe according to @ProjectEnd

Id still take this grey charcoal brick and single height retail over the typical double ceiling height sheet of glass retail with exposed concrete columns.

Isn't there supposed to be a theatre museum somewhere in the complex?

To me the canopy looks too low.
Another foot higher and it would have opened up the area under it.
I guess those vents couldn't be under the canopy.

Is that a reply to my question? If so, thanks.

I've been wondering for the last month why The Blumz had ads up on a Mercer Street retail unit and a King Street unit and went back to my own post to see they're opening up two separate units in this one complex.
These are decently sized units for a jewelry store too! Was personally hoping—as a local—to have some new food and drinks but I guess I'll just have to eat diamonds and earrings.
