There was a grocery store included as part of the rezoning on Prior St for twin residential rental towers over offices and retail, approved to the north of the new hospital. Then, at the DP stage, the retail switched to mostly restaurant spaces, and the grocery store disappeared.

Its not really the best location for a grocery store either. You want to be able to catch commuters heading home by car also and this is on the wrong corner for that.
