On June 13, 2012, the two high-rise residential buildings "Monroe Towers" located in Mississauga, Canada, were recently selected by CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Human Habitat) as the highest award for high-rise buildings in the Americas.

The "Monroe Building" is the first large-scale project designed by China's MAD and implemented in North America. It consists of two curved high-rise buildings with 56 and 50 floors respectively. The organic lines echo the natural environment, so it was nicknamed "Monroe Building" by local media and residents from the beginning of construction. Standing among the surrounding box-shaped reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, it questions the development model of North American skyscrapers and has become an important landmark building and urban space in the entire Ontario Province.

Since the international competition for the project was held in 2005, MAD's proposal has been recognized and supported by the jury members, local government, owners, and residents. The "Monroe Building" gives every community resident a sense of identity through the unique urban architectural landscape created by twisting at different angles at different heights and the dislocation of 360-degree balconies. For the city of Mississauga, the "Monroe Building" also gives this booming city and its region a uniqueness and sense of belonging. It is expected that the two high-rise buildings will be fully completed and officially put into use at the end of this summer.

The CTBUH announced the award, saying: "The Absolute Tower is an architectural work that poetically dialogues with nature through its organic form and has become a new landmark that symbolizes the thriving city of Mississauga. The award will be officially announced at the CTBUH conference in Chicago in October, when the global award for high-rise buildings will be selected from the highest awards in each continent.
