It’s on the consumer not to buy. But personally I like boxes. Everything fits nicely. Curved walls like absolute towers look great from the outside but try to put a couch on a wall on the inside. It isn’t as easy. Out of curiosity I was looking at a few units in M1 and M2. Triangle rooms. You have to be kidding me. That’s a disaster.

Partial removal of the "H" holding provision: https://www.mississauga.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10155235/H-OZ-22-4-W7-Notice.pdf

The City intends to pass a by-law to partially remove the "H" holding provision from the zoning of the lands indicated on the key map located on the reverse side of this notice.

The lands have already been approved and zoned by City Council for development although there were a number of technical matters to be resolved prior to the developer proceeding with construction, such as entering into a development agreement and posting securities for the construction of an upgraded boulevard treatment. These matters are in the process of being dealt with and the effect of the partial removal of the "H" holding provision will permit the construction of the underground garage to grade relating to 60 and 40 storey apartments with ground floor commercial uses.

The earliest date on which the amending by-law will be passed will be January 2, 2025.
