I think you are confusing this part of Victoria Island with the rest of the Chaudiere Islands where Windmill is making plans. There has never been talk of condos or shops here as it is part of the ceremonial route.

There is actually some merit to having a little bit of segregation between the governmental/institutional buildings in the capital and the residential parts. These buildings are subjected to ceremonial and security issues from time to time, like visiting dignitaries and special events.
