Getting better regional transit service INTO Hamilton would probably help. There's good enough municipal transit to complete that "last mile" trip from either of the downtown GO stations, which you can't presently do in suburban office parks like those in Burlington or elsewhere around Toronto's suburban ring (and serving those with transit will not be easy... they're so spread out)

But the pandemic has created so much uncertainty as well, and organizations seem to have done such a good job supporting work-from-home that employees have little need to commute into an office at all. I have co-workers who balk at being asked to be on site a couple of days a week, and there's not much management can do about it.

The evolution of downtown Hamilton will have to rely on residential growth for quite some time, I think.
