And the retail space looks to be leased finally. To be a No Frills.
I assume this is to replace the one at King/Princess? Or is this in addition to...?

Loblaws had already experimented with their "small" format about 10 years ago and it was called The Box - one had opened in Windsor and then they just shelved the whole imitative. Aldi and Lidl are both very cool grocery shopping environments and they should still come to Canada.
Loblaw thinks outside the "box" with new banner
Loblaw's new banner is a stripped down No Frills, but it still contains some unexpected delights

I wonder how the new LCBO/Beer Store rules play into this new store/(concept?).

“Loblaw is testing smaller-format discount stores across the country this year as shoppers increasingly look for ways to save on their grocery bill.”
"We're able to offer an entire shop within the space of 10,000 square feet in a pocket of downtown Toronto that we don't have a hard discount presence in," she said in an interview at the grand opening of the first store in the rollout. "So we're super proud of that."
The first store opened at the corner of King and Shaw St. in Liberty Village on May 30, 2024, one of several slated to open between now and Thanksgiving.

Is Loblaws phasing out the City Market brand?

I don't think they are phasing it out per se but focusing on discount grocers as thats where sales growth has been lately as people seek out value options.
A lot of the "urban" downtown grocery growth in the last 10-15 years has been higher-end grocers, so I think loblaws is trying to enter these under-served markets with discount grocers in small formats and high volume items only to try to cover the higher rents even with a value-focused sales strategy.
