The park between 81 and 141 Bay is not going to be so large as to feel like it will approach Yonge Street, and in fact it will cross over the east end of the Bush Shed.

Looks like the roofing material went up. Was there supposed to be a green roof there?

Yikes. Hopefully all of the neighbours had their windows closed and avoided smoke damage.

Similar to what happened to Ice a few months ago.

So why are flammable roofing materials used?

waterproofing any concrete structure such as what we have here requires tar based materials, then fused together with heat, aka fire and it caught fire - happens occasionally.

^That makes perfect sense. I believe fires often break out during industrial warehouse type construction also when they use a metal roof decking, then tar, then gravel.

Yeah, looks like it is pretty common since same thing happened today at a new warehouse there building across from my work. They attacked it quick so the fire wasn't huge and by time I took pic there was barely any black smoke left

These were shot late last week, showing the limestone cladding now going up on the base of Backstage, while other cladding systems are being prepped on the tower. Full front page story here, with more pics below.
