The "Market" portion or phase 2 part of the project is now a Food Hall. They are hoping to break ground this year.

I guess it is all how you look at it. Market Lands Phase 1 has two phases - the apartments and the food hall.
Market Lands Phase 2 or the northern phase is the 16 storey tower and the 6 storey "super block" like in Barcelona.

Here is the view north, looking out upon Vikings proposed development - the 16 storey Market Lands North from a 9th storey apartment.

Last Friday, our team had the opportunity to tour the nearly completed Market Lands Mixed Use Building with a group from CSC Winnipeg.
We’re proud to be part of a project rooted in the four pillars of sustainability — environmental, social, cultural, and economic.
As Canada’s first Zero Carbon Certified, mixed-use mid-rise residential building, Market Lands will bring affordable housing and vibrant community art spaces to the heart of Winnipeg’s Exchange District.
A project in collaboration with Concord Projects, Number TEN Architectural Group, and UWCRC 2.0 INC.
Received Spring/Summer edition of the WRREB commercial real estate magazine.
Front cover features the Market Lands Food Hub. The design is completely different - as in there is nothing the same - from the original. Can't tell if this is good or bad from the limited images provided. Perhaps there is more information on this available now.

The "old design" were conceptual renderings from Daoust Lestage Architects, who are the architects on the 9-story building under construction. They were never awarded the design of the Market Hall. The new renderings are the actual design of the Market Hall.
I think it looks pretty good. The glass box would have cost a bomb to heat and likely would have cost way more factoring in all the rock glass that would be needed.
I did like that the simplicity and transparency of the previous jewel box scheme felt cohesive with the design of the tall building. It was like an extension of the main floor and made them feel like a single development. It’s an interesting choice to not give contextual consideration in massing or materiality to the phase one building or to the exchange district.
The big glass wall at the end will be dramatic. Functionally the market will be an awesome addition to the neighbourhood.

I like the glass end, but the William facade kind of looks like a recreation centre.
