I don't see a problem with the retail mix at all. Not every single place in this city can be a "destination" with "exciting" things. We need places to get our hair cut, teeth cleaned, etc.
This development is located in the midst of what is already a relatively complete neighbourhood. There's only so many niches to fill. By adding essentials like groceries, a dental office, etc. they're completing the area by adding services that as of yet are not provided.
Lebreton will be a little different as there's nothing there, it's literally being built from the ground up. At the same time, the Lebreton development, if Trinity gets it, will almost certainly have a grocery store and a pharmacy and other "unexciting" stuff cause the local population of the area will need it. I'm not moving into some "vibrant" and "exciting" community if I can't get toilet paper or a bag of milk anywhere nearby.
