Massey Tower not number 10 really....


Full steam ahead at Canada House, and both of those towers taller than Massey.

There is only 1 tower right now that can push Massey off the top 10. 33 Yorkville is in site prep and will be U/C soon enough... The Canada House towers are #4 and #12. Canada House 2 is 202 metres, so it's shorter than Massey Tower.

Not a huge fan of the massing of that one as I have mentioned before, but the glass looks pretty good in that picture there! Good materials do go a long way...

The fins and height certainly help.

Unreal photo, doesn't even look like Toronto.

Infact those towers look like some type of space colony or some future city in another millennia

I don't see a creative vision with these towers. Design choices stem from practical needs/requirements like the balcony placements or the exposed elevator core. Most find Bay Adelaide Centre East bland which it is in many ways. I still an architect's vision to build the perfect box. (which, of course, it isn't)

Well...in terms of general form, yes, it was lowrise. The Bloor East site would've already alluding to big changes in the area.

Bloor is blocked off right now. A massive lift crane is onsite. Im going to guess it's there to remove the excavators which means it's not ling now until our first supertall gets its crane.
