Yeah it sure is unoriginal. ^

We have way too many of these buildings going up nowadays. Ridiculous right? And that RED! How many times do we have to keep seeing splashes of colour on condos! Bring the the gray I say! Isn't that right?

At this point I'll take ugly over boring... Besides, it's not ugly.

Interesting form, but the video game theme is pretty gimmicky, a bit juvenille, and will grow tired of quickly

Yeah, because only juvenile people play video games.

I think it is pretty cool and certainly not something that Mississauga is used to. Bring it on!

 

[Hipster Duck]

Yeah, I also think it's quite original looking. Even if it's poorly executed it'll look interesting and may turn into a local curiosity.

The site is also crying for intensification. Being the bulldozed remains of old Cooksville, and all, it's one of the GTA's only examples of urban prairie. And within walking distance to a GO station, too.

I wish this would replace one of the Parkside Village towers to break up the monotony that that development will become.

The troll posted his comment a long time ago, was rebuked, and has been banned since then. Lets give it a rest.

I wish this one was going into the Entertainment District.

Looking at the website this project underwent the Cheapening and has been renamed "Higher Living".

That render shows 33 floors, possibly 34 or 35. Not sure if the glass roof is mechanical or residential.
I think it's still nice, just not as cool as the original.
However, they show both still on their website, so I'm not sure if this is a cheapening or another condo.

Higher Living is a separate project by Matas. It's on Dundas east of Hurontario, whereas The Maze is on Agnes west of Hurontario.

Shoot that's what happens when you don't scroll down. It looks very similar so I just assumed it was The Cheapening. My apologies. Glad the Maze still exists.
