Love it as well, very HK.

Was walking home tonight and the lights on Massy look amazing but it had me thinking the list needs to be updated. Its been a while since Ive been past it on Yonge but it might be time to move it off the list, Encana and Marriot. Lets let some others have the spotlight.

The facade on the north side of Massey is not fully enclosed. There's still the podium cladding although we can probably look past it. It's superficial in the grand scheme.

Looks like the list was updated! But one last of Massey as she bows out. Can't wait to see the podium finish.

I notice they are adding flashing on the facade. Looks great.

The towers of CIBC Square are going to be front-runners for nicest towers built so far this century in Canada. Really turning out excellent.

[Maldive]

Agreed and overdue.

I know it's Hong Kong-style overkill but every "diamond" facet appears to have lighting installed from all angles... yummy.

[WhipperSnapper]

I think of LED light bars and, more recently, programmable facade when I think of Hong Kong. These units look like they will provide traditional up lighting to highlight the architectural diamond. The latter has me more interested than the former.

[WhipperSnapper]

I think the failing lights on Aura's melting stick makes it look more artistic.

^ Wow. Telus Sky is exceeding my (high) expectations. I like it better than Vancouver House (though both are beautiful).

[Maldive]

It's an odd duck. Want to like it but maybe too video game (or NYC) for my taste.

I'm super happy with it, glad it's so different from anything else in our skyline. Think i still like Vancouver House better though, the way the shape changes is soo cool.

[TorontoDrew]

Both are nice but I still prefer this one. Both 10/10's though.

Telus Sky is gorgeous! I also give it a 10/10
