Overview
The Massey Square Condos is the perfect compromise in numerous areas: aesthetically, it’s understated yet robust; on the trend forecast, it’s classic yet still desirable 15 years after its construction.
In fact, the condos 1000 King Street West & 39 Shank Street were quite the trendsetters back in the day: the Massey Harris Condos was in Liberty Village before Liberty Village was cool (although technically it’s just outside the confines of the neighbourhood). It wasn’t until late 90s that modern businesses started popping up here, and the Liberty Village Business Improvement Area wasn’t founded until 2001.
Just one year later, in 2002, Plazacorp brought the red brick edifice at 1000 King West and 39 Shank to the neighbourhood. Today, prospective buyers will have to be feisty in order to nab a spot in the Massey Square Condos. Thankfully, though, turnover isn’t obsolete as there are nearly 200 units in the building. There are even a few townhomes that span two storeys each, over on Shank Street.
Standing at a comfortable 8 storeys tall, a major selling point for the Massey Square Condos isn’t its size or stature, but instead the low maintenance fees paid by residents — compared to buildings with similar specs, that is.
And yet still, even with relatively low fees, plenty of amenities occupy the building. Residents have a gym, a meeting room, a party room, visitor parking, and security at their disposal. Plus, there’s retail on ground level, making life at 1000 King West and 39 Shank all the more convenient.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
