According to this update, sections of the derrick crane have finally arrived. Should be installed soon.

The update seems to give little new info and says:
The tower crane remains in-place as the final work to install the rooftop maintenance unit is underway but has not yet been completed. We expect to have an update in the latter part of the month on timelines for the lowering and removal of the tower crane. Please check back for updates.
I will only believe it is down when I can't see it. Then they can maybe devote all their obvious construction expertise to fixing the siding along Yonge Street.

Feb 2014 L tower looked like this
Compared to INDX which looked like this
Today L tower looks almost the same and INDX is topped off with it's crane gone.

I heard from a friend who lives there that it is coming down on the 23rd. Or not until next year. Both dates are in circulation in the building.

The plaza at Yonge and Front is now fenced off with a wooden fence and a vacuum truck is there doing something. Last fall it was announced that the City had taken back the construction of the Claude Cormier designed plaza and would be doing it in spring 2016 at the same time as they work on the (also Cormier-designed) Berczy park. It looks as though that is what is happening. Of course, the L-Tower folk have done nothing further on their 'siding' at the base of the tower but ...

Never fear, in the "not so distant future" the crane is gone... thanks to CGI...

Is it a safe bet that Bisha could be completed before the crane is gone?

Is there a reason this thread doesn't list the height in the title? Is it not 205m?

Are you counting the crane? That seems to be a permanent part of the building now.

Ya just except it that the Crain is a feature now. It's not ever coming down
