MOD Developments Introduce 60 Storey Massey Tower

MOD Developments today confirmed the purchase of the property located at 197 & 201 Yonge Street (originally reported by TalkCondo in December here).  The project has us extremely giddy for a number of reasons – the prime downtown location of Yonge & Queen certainly whet’s the appetite.  The site is located opposite the Eaton Centre and just steps to the Queen Subway Station.

MOD went on to announce that the existing heritage building on site (A Canadian Bank of Commerce branch that was originally opened in 1905) will be completely restored by ERA Architects and Hariri Pontarini will be responsible for designing a 60 Storey Tower to sit behind the historical landmark.

In addition, MOD will be donating a portion of their site fronting on Victoria Street to Massey Hall and will honor the Massey name by naming the new development “Massey Tower.”

MOD are no strangers to revitalization projects.  Their last project, FIVE Condominiums was faced with a similar task: to work with an existing facade and build a modern tower.  They succeeded in a big way and won the prestigious BILD award for “Design of the Year”.  MOD have put together the same condominium development dream team to put together “Massey Tower.”

Launch time frames on Massey Tower are still unknown.  TalkCondo will be first in line with all the details and opportunity to purchase.  For first access to Massey Tower, complete the Insiders Club registration form below!
