This is probably the coolest ever looking building. It is being built in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/69/Theabsolute.jpg/200px-Theabsolute.jpg

Height: 167 metres for the South Tower and 151 metres for the North Tower
Floors: 56 for the North and 50 for the South
Use: Residental
Developer: Fernbrook Homes

This was a competition and this design won. There were so many future residents that they decided to build another tower.

Any more detail about this bulding to prove it is under construction. I've never heard of it.

Height?, floors?, developer?, use?....anything?

I have seen this rendering before. It looks like the shapely image of a woman. I think I would want to live on about the 27th floor. ;)

If you look at the diagrams on this site, it will say under construction. You can always google it for more info.

Ok, thanks. Didn't mean to come off like a jerk, I just personally never heard of the building prior to this. :tup:

Or you can include the information in your post like every other topic in this forum. ;)

Yeah, sorry. That was my very first post on this forum, so I wasn't sure whether to post some info or not. I will be glad to add in some more stuff, but how do I edit my post?

Also is there an introduction forum on this site?

No it only says quote, I looked for the edit button everywhere. :shrug:

[aluminum]

^^ Theres got to be an edit button under your own post on the left side of "quote".

[iznogud]

All right, I found the edit button. I'm going to go and add some info now

[VA_Gentleman]

I don't know if I really like this building very much. It looks like a popped biscuit tin.

[BigDan35]

Looks ugly to me. Glad it's not being built here

[koops65]

Those are 2 of the coolest looking highrises I've ever seen! I wouldn't say they're pretty, or beautiful, but definitely cool, maybe even strange would be a good adjective... they would fit well in Dubai, but only if they were 3 times as tall. Amazing they're being built only 80 km from my home...

[newstl2020]

Any construction photos?

Any construction photos?

Does the elevators curved up as well? What state is Misissuaga in.

[newstl2020]

Yeah this isn't construction unless they are doing caisson/foundation work which they don't appear to be doing. Site prep.

[aluminum]

What state is Misissuaga in.

I guess you mean the province, its Ontario (Canada). This city is a suburb of Toronto.

[LordMandeep]

Yeah a big suburb really, has like 700,000 people.

Its a pretty good place to live. Nice and safe, decent transit, good stores and malls and is close to downtown Toronto.

[giallo]

I was wondering when a Toronto forumer would get around to putting this up. I love these towers.
