they have installed netting underneath the platform so maybe they have found a way of removing it

Considering their record of incompetence and missed deadlines they may be afraid it is just going to fall?

I received a message from a colleague who indicated he thinks the derrick may have finally come down. Anybody in the area that can confirm this?

 

[ptbotrmpfn]

Beleive it when I see it. It’s still crane tower for me till the ugly thing comes off finally

 

[sikandar]

It's true!

 

[Rascacielo]

No, that’s just the perspective. It’s still there.

According to this article written 3 month ago, the Derick is supposed to come down for good right about now:

I'm going to miss the little guy, it gave the L-tower charisma.

Time enough to miss it once it is actually removed. The developer has made repeated announcements about its imminent removal so I would certainly not hold my breath or start mourning it just yet. In fact, as they are clearly incompetent I will not be surprised if the much-heralded window-washing device fails to work anyway.

That is an oddly familiar perspective. Is that shot from the north condo tower above Maple Leafs Square?
On an unrelated note, what a terrible color-matching job they did when they painted over the Air Canada logos on the roof of the ACC...

Still there

That looks like the derrick IS gone, and what we're looking at is the retractable BMU. Hmmm

This is a historic image. The last documented sighting of the derelict derrick! R.I.P. old friend...
I looks like they even patched up the last bits of the missing cladding too. Is this for real? 13 years later, the project is finally complete??
