Absolute World is a residential condominium twin tower skyscraper complex in the five tower Absolute City Centre development in Mississauga, Ontario. The project was built by Fernbrook Homes and Cityzen Development Group. With the first three towers completed, the last two towers were topped off at 50 and 56 storeys. On November 28, 2006, during the 24th annual Mississauga Urban Design Awards ceremony, Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion announced that an international design competition was going to be held for the building of the fourth tower for Absolute World that would be the landmark tower for the development located at the northeast corner of Burnhamthorpe Road and Hurontario Street. This marked the first time in 40 years that an international design competition was held by a private development group for a building in the Greater Toronto Area following the Toronto City Hall competition. Over six hundred registrants and ninety-two submissions from architects in seventy countries took part in this competition. On January 30, 2007, an announcement was made at Atrium at BCE Place in downtown Toronto at 12:00 PM informing the public who the six finalists were along with seven honorary mentions. Source
