It’s no secret that the Absolute Marilyn Monroe towers fundamentally–and positively, we think–altered the Mississauga skyline. The skyscraping, curvaceous buildings added a modern and dramatic element to the landscape and became two of the city’s most defining features.

Now, we’ve learned that phase 3 of M City is actually going to become the tallest building in the city, coming in at a whopping–and distinctly glamorous–81 storeys (significanly taller than Absolute’s tallest tower).

While that news has been exciting for architecture aficionados and others, it got us thinking: what are Mississauga’s tallest buildings?

Well, we reached out to the city to find out and here they are.

Enjoy!

The Solstice condos, which were completed in 2008, come in at 37 storeys. This condo boasts a fairly modern aesthetic, boasting a glass and concrete facade and a chic, welcoming interior.

The Park Mansion condos also come in at 37 storeys. This postmodern highrise was built in 1990, making it one of the city’s more mature condominium residences.
