Absolute Tower (3 Pics)




Absolute Tower is a residential condominium twin tower skyscraper complex in the five tower Absolute City Centre development in Mississauga, Ontario. With the first three towers completed (Absolute City Centre 1 & 2 and Absolute Vision), the last two towers (Absolute World 4 & 5) were topped off at 50 and 56 storeys.The tower twists 209 degrees from the base to the top, making it very similar to Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden. 

The structural design was done by Sigmund Soudack & Associates Inc, a Toronto-based almost 40-year-old structural engineering firm. The tower has six levels of underground parking.On June 14, 2012, the Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a non-profit group of architects and engineers, reported that the towers were among the world's best new skyscrapers[Source]
