There's quite the progress on this, and it's looking rather good, all things considered.
Here are some twitter updates:

The Columbia frontage has a few 2-storey retail units. A coffee shop will do well here for students needing a hit on the way into campus pic.twitter.com/5zec8eREIy

Unfortunately Columbia access to the promenade is up this giant staircase. Not the most inviting. I hope they have signage for what's inside pic.twitter.com/zYliqbLnKk
