It's a combination of the worst trends to come out of this most recent boom.

That tower is horrendous. It looks no better in person. Sad state of affairs.

A more fitting name would have been to call it The Room

There is no saving this one.

I agree.

Franco401 · #**4286** Posted **Oct 16, 2017, 9:40 PM**

It's an okay-looking tower with one ugly element.

From the urbantoronto.ca front page

Massey Tower - 208 meters

Full Storey - photo skycandy

Massey gets better each time I look at it. I'm liking how it is turning out so far.

WhipperSnapper · #**4289** Posted **Oct 18, 2017, 6:04 PM**

I agree. Nothing new or fancy but, it works. My only wish would be for curved balcony glass but I understand their reasoning after Five's delays.

caltrane74 · #**4290** Posted **Oct 20, 2017, 3:40 PM**

My favorite tower on the list, right now.

Black Star · #**4291** Posted **Oct 20, 2017, 3:53 PM**

I'd say it's my current favourite on the list as well. I appreciate the narrow lot and heritage retention. The tower's massing is pleasing to the eyes too.

Good save, was about to flame you for not choosing Telus Sky

YC Condos (centre) from the air on Sunday

488 University (centre) and Massey Tower (back and to the left of 488 Univ)

DrNest · #**4297** Posted **Oct 24, 2017, 3:20 PM**

Every time I see those towers book-ending the Eaton Centre I can't help but wish they were double the height. I like the look and design, just wish there was a lot more height to them. Hopefully Massey will go some way to addressing this image.

Massey is turning out nicely. I didn't realize there was going to be two toned glass on the balconies. Nice touch. I also really appreciate the care they took with heritage preservation.
