What's the point of building such a tall building in an area that is clearly (from these pictures) not at all urban or walkable? It just seems strange to have a 50+ story highrise where the residents don't go anywhere without hopping in a car.
I believe Mississauga's master plan calls for creating a pedestrian friendly, mixed use, denser urban core. It will take a couple decades to get there, but buildings like Absolute are a great start.

Would you prefer they built a 10 storey tower and then got in their car?
