Absolute Condos "Marilyn" - Mississauga
by Randy Selzer
One of the most sought after condos for sale in Mississauga, the Absolute World condos were the fourth tower in the Absolute development at Mississauga Square One. This incredible twisting tower was the result of an international design competition which was won by Yansong Ma of MAD architects, based in Beijing, China. The local developers, Fernbrook/Cityzen, went on to build and complete the distinctive tower, which has since won international accolades, and Absolute World, which quickly acquired the nickname "Marilyn" due to its organic curves, has become a symbol of the City of Mississauga. Built and completed in 2011. the "Marilyn Monroe" condominium has a unique, instantly identifiable look that is visible for miles around. Located just across the street from the Square One shopping mall, Ontario's largest mall, 60 Absolute consists of a single 56 storey point tower which is complimented by a 3 storey podium on the west side, containing garden apartments and retail soon to come. Municipal address for the Absolute "Marilyn Monroe" condo is 60 Absolute Ave.
Absolute condos, aka the Marilyn Monroe condo, is perhaps the most distinctive tower in the recent wave of luxury condos which have been built in the Mississauga City Centre (MCC) area, and like the others it is conveniently close to all that MCC has to offer: Square One Shopping mall, with its 360 shops, restaurants, and services, is about a 3 minute walk away, with the southeast entrance to the mall (Walmart) closest. In addition, Celebration Square with its nonstop cultural events, fountains, and skating rink in winter, Mississauga City Hall, the central YMCA, the central library, Sheridan College, the Living Arts Centre, and the Mississauga Transit and GO bus terminal are all within easy walking distance.
Absolute condos are also within walking distance of the Cooksville GO station, as well as schools such as Father Goetz Catholic Secondary School, and T.L. Kennedy Public Secondary School. Access to the 403 highway is a couple of minutes away, and residents will find close proximity to a number of major grocery stores such as the Metro located nearby on Mississauga Valley Blvd., the Whole Foods recently opened on the north side of the mall, and the full grocery located in Walmart at Square One.
