A bit of everything. Mostly residential with ground-floor retail, a bit of office space and I think a hotel. One of the retailers is a wildly successful chocolate company founded by Syrian refugees, and actually the surrounding area has a bunch of other small indie chocolatiers.
Edit: found an article confirming the hotel portion (Muir). It's paywalled but here's a few quotes:
Quote:
McCrea is confident that Muir will provide “the best hospitality experience on this side of the country.”
“I think we eschew the idea of calling ourselves five-star; we are an elevated hospitality and cultural experience,” he said.
“Maybe we’re 10 stars, I don’t know, but that’s for our customers to judge.”
There’s a different Nova Scotia oil painting in every room, as well as a locally made piece of pottery.
McCrea thinks of himself as an artist whose medium is buildings and believes “buildings are art.”

Quote:
Room prices will start in the mid $300s. There are 32 room designs, including a suite called The Watch that is more than 2,000 square feet. Among its features are a 260-degree water view and a tasting room equipped with $1,000 bottles of wine.
The rate is negotiable.
“There’s not another space like it in Canada,” said Jason.

Quote:
“As the project evolved it became clear that Nova Scotia had evolved, and I think that many people feel this in their gut, that we’re at a precipice, at the beginning of something different for this province and for the region. And Muir, hopefully, is a reflection of that.
“A modern, refined, progressive, dare I say cool, sense of Nova Scotia.”
