Broadview Tower on Donald is one such example, it has a supermarket, hair salon, restaurant plus some other shops and offices in the podium. There was even once a great little gym in there although it's been closed for years. Something like that (in function, not necessarily the 80s appearance) would be perfect for Osborne Village.

Yeah I agree Broadview Tower is done well, right down to the trees up on the podium. I prefer that type of development downtown personally. I hope this project turns out great though.
