Such awesome buildings!

These towers are a great concept. I hope the materials do them justice!

Nice progress, maybe I can hop across the border soon and see the progress being made.

I dont mind the trickery with this building, if it's good enough for the Ritz in Vancouver its more than good enough for Crapburg.


Actually, I wouldn't mind if this thing was even built in Toronto. It's hot!!

Looking great!

(Thread title changed to reflect height changes mentioned upthread.)

Thankfully this isn't your typical U.S. suburb especially the ones in the South. I like the funkiness of the buildings, obviously their height and how much more urban sauga has become. I was there back in late May on my Toronto vacation. I had not been there since 2002 and it was amazing to see how much sauga has changed as well as Toronto itself. The area is maturing rapidly and that's what I like to see.:tup:

Thanks for keeping us updated on the missy towers progress

full steam ahead!

I find most of the bldgs in Missasauga are rather blase regarding their architecture. But these towers give me something to look forward to when I'm back up there next month.:tup:
