Bit of a weird one, they are redeveloping the edges of a golf course. Various detached homes throughout the development concept plan, but this thread is dedicated to the 6-storey building they stuck on the Dundas frontage on the far side of the hydro corridor.

As someone who frequently drives by this spot, all I can think about is how you won't be able to turn left out of here, and even turning right would be such a pain in even moderate traffic

There is a LOT of local opposition within this golf course community and other users to this proposal and various aspects of the proposal, which will see eradication of greenspace and 'dubious' improvement to a popular golf course.

The redevelopment of sections of the Millcroft Golf Course as well as the 6-storey building on Dundas was APPROVED by the OLT

Part of the deal is the course will remain as 18 holes rather than the original plan of cutting it down to 9. Burlington city council is furious because not only is this making a lot of very wealthy residents very mad, but it does absolutely nothing to help the housing crisis as all of the detached homes will likely be well over 2 million dollars.
