The yellow platform is called the NWRI Waves Tower and it's technically located in Hamilton off of Van Wagners Beach. Mostly used for research purposes like studying waves, water and birds, as well as weather. It is owned by the federal government. The Canadian Centre for Inland Waters is located very close to here just underneath the Skyway bridge. If you were to climb aboard the structure you'd hear a recording telling you to vacate immediately.

Plus the Attack-Cormorants would dive-bomb you while a high-speed cigarette boat would be dispatched from shore with machine-gun toting henchpeople. Plus steer clear of the helicopter piloted by the gorgeous brunette should you elude the other measures taken to greet you.

It's exciting to see the development and intensification of downtown Burlington. I'm looking forward to eventually seeing the parking lot at the corner of Elizabeth and Pine filled in with a condo or two, similar to the development a few blocks north.

It's a shame the new mayor there is against development in the core.

I am glad she is against it, the downtown core has character, there are restaurants and shops that have been there forever and are still in great shape. There are so many empty areas in Burlington that should see growth before the downtown area. Alton area has a few proposed buildings but the people who literally just moved in are against it and have slowed progress down, around all of the GO stations is the smartest place to put high rise buildings, and the area near Corpus Christi is completely undeveloped and has potential to house a few big buildings instead of just houses.
 
downtown is the only really walkable part of Burlington though - and is by far the best part of it to live. There is a reason the market is driving condos to this location. The condos beside Burlington GO seem to be doing relatively well, but are still extremely car dependent.

Alton Village is some suburban hellscape. No idea why anyone would ever want to buy a condo there.

The area around Corpus Christi is all employment land designated for warehouses and whatnot.

most of the cute shops in downtown Burlington are completely unaffected by the mini condo boom, other than a small bit beside City Hall.

in 5 years once all these condos are done, downtown will just be even more vibrant with even more nice stores as there will be a much larger population to support them.

It's exciting times for Burlington, even if the vast majority of locals don't seem to think so.
