Two flagship towers at the M City community in Mississauga were recently lauded with an award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
Developers behind the project, Rogers Real Estate Development and Urban Capital, earned the Award of Excellence for Best Tall Building by Height category (200-299 meters) for the M1 and M2 towers, which rise 62 storeys high.
Launched in 2017, they became the tallest completed buildings in Mississauga and are the first eight towers in the master-planned community.
The design from CORE Architects features seven twisting floor plates that create a fluid movement and lightness of mass. The buildings integrate with the streetscape. Podiums house extensive rooftop amenities, including a skating rink, and street-level retail.
More than two acres of public parkland support the city’s vision for a pedestrian-friendly, densely populated urban core with mixed-use development and new rapid transit options.
Award of Excellence winners now move on to the next stage of judging. Project teams will present their submissions to attendees and live juries at the CTBUH 2024 International Conference in September.
