In the heart of Mississauga, the prospect of a 56-storey concrete Marilyn Monroe went over so well, she's coming back for an encore. With the original Absolute World condominium tower -- whose curvy design earned its Hollywood nickname -- almost sold out, its developers have announced a second distinctive tower to sit alongside the first. The second tower will rise to 50 storeys, somewhat shorter than its counterpart; its developers say that while the first "captures the feminine," the second will be "lithe and romantic in its silhouette but more rugged and perhaps more robust." But what might be raising eyebrows more than the towers' design is their sales record.
