Very true.
As it stands, there is empty space that would allow for 40 or 50 condo (or office towers) to fit within the "MCC" area. Up to 20 or so are already either being sold or in early stages of construction. 5 or 6 years from now even that photo will seem empty.
If you want to talk "under used" within a 2km radius of Square One then that is easily 100 buildings.
I think Dixie, Dundas and Lakeshore will all experience infill and redevopment of mid and high density projects as well - though at a slower/later pace than the current empty lands that will more quickly add to Mississauga's density and skyline. There are still pockets around the city where homes and townhomes will be built - mostly outlying areas - but not along within MCC or along these corridors I mentioned. There is tons of room to grow up (in every sense) - they just really need to have a more cohesive plan for massing, street integration, parking and transit.
Mississauga will look and feel more like some of these new cities rising in China than your typical North American big city - and these two Absolute World buildings will help bring a lot of attention and likely visitors to the area.
