After some digging I can say with certainty it is the hotel and convention centre under construction at
5 Hogan Court. Here's why;
This is the site as it currently stands. The building is only one storey for now but there is evidence that more floors will be added. Between the fire hydrant and building there is the base for what will be the support column for the porte cochere. Also the declared value for the construction permit is $10 million which is too high for a simple strip mall or small scale commercial. The superstore site for comparison is listed at $5.6 million.
For anyone wondering
Springhill Suites is a Marriott branded hotel with locations across North America. The closest location is currently in Montreal.
BTW i was just examining the site plan and it mentions Loblaws by name.
And here's a photo of the other side of Hogan Court. The foundation for Atlantic Superstore is visible along with the 200-unit residential building under construction at
90 Hogan Court. The current Halifax Planning case is asking for an additional 72 units which will be constructed on a much smaller lot in front of that building. The residential lot has already been subdivided for this outcome.
