I forget the timeline, but was the Boardwalk not proposed before the first GO train even rolled into Kitchener? Given planning timeliness, and when the land was purchased, it was unlikely that the developer would have been bound by any kind of rules that might have had anything to do with urban planning guidelines around transit and/or intensification. I don't think that Kitchener, Waterloo or the Region had and ability to direct how the land was developed when the proposals were first brought forward.
