I was expecting it to appear much taller when viewed from a distance, but due to it being in Mississauga Valley, it looks just as tall as everything else, as you can see in the above photo. Too bad!

Hey Jasonzed, I re-posted this fantastic picture of yours over at SSP's Great Canadian Skyline Thread and included my editorial. I hope you don't mind.
Whoa! Double Skyline! Full skyline all the way! Oh my God. What does it mean? Whoa! That's so intense! Double skyline!

I can tell you that viewing it from the 427, Absolute looks way taller than the other buildings in the skyline.

Someone could make a lovely Cullen Gardens Miniature Willage by collecting enough of those construction site cut-outs.

Yeah its all about the perspective. From the west it looks like the same height as the other tall buildings, but from the east it looks like its about 50% taller than everything else.

Now that we have the people in town who know how to built such a beautiful building, how about someone hire them to build something similar in downtown Toronto? It would sell out quickly.

I like the originality of this landmark and I'd prefer that a new landmark condo downtown would have its own original design. The same developer is building L-Tower, which should be stunning.

While on the ground we know things are vastly different, from a quick judgement while viewed from the 427, the Miss skyline looks more impressive and big city like than Toronto's! Luckily, reality is much different.
