Considering there initial public pitch included a full scale downtown grocery store it was pretty easy to sleuth out that something was off on the proposal from the start. At the time there were four main operators of that sort of store in Winnipeg. For various reasons most of them could quickly be crossed on the list of occupants. Despite that knowledge the developers kept insisting it was accurate and more details would be coming "soon".

Since the time of that proposal Winnipeg has seen three + one new grocery stores.

Save-On-Foods KP
Save-On-Foods Pembina
Co-Op Seasons
Sobeys Extra - new store built on same site as former Fort Richmond Safeway, same company.

Edit: to be completely fair I do not recall when the new Safeway on Henderson at CPT was built but it was also a new build to replace an existing store. This also doesn't account for the number of stores that permanently closed in that same time.
