The “Marilyn Monroe” Towers
These twin tower skyscrapers are part of a 5 tower development in Mississauga just west of Toronto. These are residential condominiums and at 50 and 56 stories, the tallest of any building in a North American suburban city. The Absolute Towers are part of the Absolute City Centre but they’ve been dubbed the “Marilyn Monroe” towers due to their curves.

Great shot! I have driven by those buildings but never knew about their nickname. That’s too funny!!
June 4, 2012 at 7:50 am
Thanks. I didn’t realize they had this nickname until I started doing a little research on them.

You are one of the only bloggers I follow that lives relatively close to me, and it’s nice to see photos of things that I have actually seen before!!

The things they do with buildings these days is crazy!
June 4, 2012 at 7:51 am
Wow!! Looks at those things. Awesome buildings like this just beg to be photographed. Nice work.

Marilyn Monroe’s legs were more pretty… ‘big smile’
But a great nickname and a good photo…

these are cool looking, great processing Edith!
June 4, 2012 at 12:06 pm
That’s some interesting architecture. Very appropriate naming of the buildings!
June 4, 2012 at 12:26 pm
What amazing structures and just live the nickname. I bet they would look really cool at dusk if there were enough lights on in the apartments.
June 4, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Thanks Mark. I was actually thinking the same thing. I have to get out there on evening to shoot when the lights are one.
June 4, 2012 at 4:24 pm
I can’t believe they’re finally complete! That whole area of Mississauga is getting sooo congested!! Gorgeous photos though
June 4, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Yes that area has now become really busy. The complex is beautiful though.
June 4, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Amazing photo of amazing buildings.
The sky adds a lot to the shot.
Nicely composed, Edith.

These are really different and interesting buildings Edith. Well seen and captured. Aptly named too.

Dang! I was just up there a week ago and missed these! Really cool capture.

Thanks so much Bob.

Amazingly interesting buildings! Really unique design with those amazing curves! Even cooler that they are apartment buildings – who wouldn’t want to wake up with Marilyn everyday! Really nice Edith!
June 5, 2012 at 7:38 am
Awesome job on the processing Edith.
June 5, 2012 at 10:06 am
First thing I thought of was they look like giant legs. Pretty neat.
June 5, 2012 at 11:37 am
How cool is that Edith, great shot and great info!
June 5, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Thanks Mike.

Very nice image, Edith. I’ve never seen these before and find them quite interesting. Must be a nice view from within the actual buildings.
