It seems clear to me that there are two antagonists in the passage. So, there are two antecedents possible for any given "he." The Messiah is the one building up, and the prince is the one tearing down. So it would make sense for the "he" in the first part of verse 27 to refer to the Messiah. but the "he" in the second half of the verse to refer to the prince.
