Mississauga skyline set to become much sexier

A twisty, curvaceous condo building will give a sexy new look to the Mississauga skyline.

It was chosen from 92 submissions from 70 countries in a contest put on by development firm Cityzen Development Group and Fernbrook Homes.

Designed by the Beijing office of U.S. architectural firm MAD, the condo building will be constructed on the corner of Hurontario Street and Burnhamthorpe Road, and will stand out from anything else in the area. Located near Daniels No1 City Center, Tridel’s Ovation and Davies Smith City Gate I and II. Absolute Condos is standing alone in their design and putting its mark on the Mississauga Skyline.

MAD founder Yansong Ma said the design will help Mississauga develop its own distinct character and identity.
"We wanted to do a more futuristic design," Ma told a news conference at the top of the CN Tower. "We didn't want to do a sexy building, but the public thinks it's sexy."

The 450-suite tower will be part of the Absolute Community condominium project currently under construction by the project developers and contest organizers, Cityzen Development Group and Fernbrook Homes.

Three other buildings are now under construction or nearly completed on the site, and another one is planned, in addition to the competition winner.

Dubbed 'Marilyn Monroe' the tower will stand head and shoulders above the others. This building will become an icon in the Mississauga skyline and a focal point for visitors to our great city.
