Eighty-one storeys mark a new skyline milestone
AI Article Summary
The M3 tower in Mississauga has reached its full height of 81 storeys, becoming the tallest building in the city. The design, chosen through a national competition, features a slender profile with a twisting base and crown, and a dramatic sloped peak. Artist Kathleen Fu created a live illustration to mark the occasion, which will be displayed in the tower's lobby. Upon completion, the M City development will offer over 6,000 homes across eight towers, along with retail and public art installations.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how ambitious residential developments can reshape city skylines and set new benchmarks for urban design. For Canadian builders, this means focusing on innovative architectural designs and efficient use of space can unlock significant residential capacity in urban centers. Implementing large-scale projects like M City can lead to new opportunities in prefabrication and supply chain management to accommodate the rapid pace and scale required.
