A lot of the people that go to Niagra Falls drive in from the cities that surround it (Hamilton, Toronto, etc). The whole city is quite automobile dependent.
Even so, that surface parking lot is horrible.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
These are quite lovely they go with the other buildings in the area.
Sarcasm I pray.

What with the haunted houses and wax museums just up the street, this kind of strange design is no surprise to me. I visited that side of the river/falls in 1988 and walking through that area was one of the more surreal experiences I have ever had... "La Villa Strangiato"
Loretto Christian Life, the owners of a historic property in Niagara Falls, are seeking to have the approval of Niagara Falls City council, to construct three high rise towers on a 8 acre property site, which is currently the home of a century old school, and idealic park settings. The towers will range from the low end of just 32 floors, to a monster tower of 57 floors. The tower caught in between will be 42 floors. There would also be two smaller structures either of which could be hotel or condo residences by the falls. There will be preservation work to ensure the longivity of the historic structures.
Take a look at the rendering for this project:
