If I am not mistaken, Absolute World was completed in early 2012, so they were the tallest towers in the city for about 11 or 12 years before M1 and M2 were completed. Also, there is this proposed project to keep in mind:

I recognize this is going to go off topic quickly, but I was actually visiting SoFi Stadium as someone interested in the Rams, and thoroughly enjoyed the game, even though there were many Bills fans in my vicinity. However, it would only be logical to assume I supported the Bills, given they are the most popular NFL team among Torontonians.

Nonetheless, M3 certainly is making its presence felt in the Mississauga skyline now that it is about 180 metres above ground.

I never thought you were interested in teams that Russell Wilson isn’t playing for.

I posted this in the Pinnacle One Yonge thread back in September, after you found out Wilson is the player I was interested in:

Thanks a lot. Interestingly, before my interest in Wilson surged over the past couple of months, the team I was most interested in (and continue to be) was the Rams, who could be seen as having been his "nemesis" (particularly when he was a Seahawk).

Sky Tower appears to be at just over 130 metres right now, with the crane being nearly 170 metres based on @kotsy's post on the previous page.

I actually have a hierarchy of teams I am interested in, with teams based on a rating scale. The Rams continue to top my "interest list", while the Steelers have the greatest increase over time, having jumped since the summer because Wilson plays for them now. I also started thinking about going to the Bills-Rams game immediately after the schedule release back in May.

Speaking of M3 at M City, I kind of draw similarities between this project and Sky Tower at Pinnacle One Yonge, even though most will prefer the latter project. These similarities include being the tallest skyscrapers in their respective cities, using hammerhead cranes attached to the towers' exteriors, and being at similar stages in construction right now.

Haven't been able to get a good shot of the elevator shaft floor number to say what floor the tower is at, but looks like it is the same height or a floor taller than M1 and M2, and will be the tallest for sure in January

@drum118 this shot was taken today at exactly 200m so it should give a good idea where this thing stands now.

The gap in space between m1/m2 and m3 looks and feels huge. I don’t understand that decision at all. Especially since M4 seems to be right up to m3. It’s as confusing as their new road system.

It's the podium. The gap at street level between M1 and M3 isn't that great.

I’ve walked it and driven it. It feels like a massive waste. When I lived in Toronto it felt like if there was a fire you could in theory jump from one building to the next. Obviously that’s not true but it felt like you could ask the next building to borrow some milk and with an outstretched arm meet in the middle. Obviously this is not true. I get there’s more space but it just seems like these buildings are significantly further away.

I don't know why the City can't just create a normal grid rather than catering to these developers and building the streets in weird angles. I walk and drive Kariya and Elm frequently, and they are both extremely wide for 1 lane in each direction, and their bike lanes are an afterthought at best.

Confederation is also overly wide, but if they do put the LRT there, then I think it might actually be ok.

I was also thinking about all the streets Mississauga has with 3 lanes in each direction, and it seems to me, those 3 lanes are never equally utilized. People tend to crowd into specific lanes because they're going to be turning soon, so sometimes the middle lane is mostly empty, with the left and/or right lanes backed up. I almost thing we could just have 2 lanes in each direction and it would flow just as well with fewer people needing to cut across 2 lanes of traffic when they realize their destination is a couple hundred meters away (I literally see this happen any time I drive).
