M City 4

Like the first three buildings, M4 features a design by Core Architects that would also overtake the height of Absolute World, rising 67 storeys to a height of 215.6 metres. The M4 tower is proposed to rise immediately southwest of the M3 tower along Burnhamthorpe Road, across a new road extension that would cut through the site connecting Webb Drive with Burnhamthorpe.

The mixed-use tower would rise from an eight-storey podium, meeting Burnhamthorpe Road with 663 m² of retail space, and containing 935 residential units in the floors above. With the submission still quite new, few details are publicly available yet, and only the one rendering of the building's podium has been completed so far.

When the first renderings of M City were created, they were released with placeholder images for all buildings other than the ones with a finalized design at the time. In the first image below from 2016 when only the left-most M1 tower was designed, (we have a applied a fog filter over most of the image so as to single out the M4 location), shows how tall M4 was proposed to be at that time.

By the time that M3's design was completed in 2019, (M3 is the tallest tower seen below), the placeholder for M4 had grown in height. Again, we have applied a fog filter to the original image over all towers except the M4 site.

A view facing southwest across the M City site puts the plans into context. In the foreground, the podium levels are taking shape for the M1 and M2 60-storey towers, while the excavation phase for the 77-storey M3 has just recently begun behind them. The area behind M3 where you see the blue construction fencing (temporarily storing construction equipment), marks the location of the newly-proposed M4 tower.
