Yeah, I was walking through the site back in mid November and construction workers said the crane was staying until Spring. I think they also said they were going to do one last window wash if I'm not mistaken.

SONY CENTRE PLAZA CONTRACT, At last!
The North Plaza of the Sony Centre urgently requires revitalization. The stone pavers are in poor condition and create a hazardous situation for pedestrian traffic. The scope of work for the revitalization includes new stone pavers, restoration of the black granite landscape boxes, restoration of the west canopy and canopy columns and lighting is to be replaced. Also included in the scope of work is the removal and replacement of the existing curbs and asphalt of the Sony Centre driveway.
As a result of the proposed revitalization of the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts to upgrade and restore the sidewalk and pavers on the exterior of the Sony Centre, Community Council approved the alteration of the road and sidewalk on the south side of Front Street East, between Yonge Street and Scott Street, to improve the pedestrian environment as recommended by Transportation Services. This work is included in the Contract for the revitalization of the North Plaza of the Sony Centre.
The Sony Centre for the Performing Arts issued Tender Call #001 on November 24, 2014. Seven contractors were invited to bid on this project of which six acquired the tender documents. All six contractors attended the mandatory site meeting. The Tender closed on December 19, 2014. Two qualified bids were received. Both Contractors are well respected in the construction industry and very capable of completing this work. Funding for this work is budgeted in the Sony Centre Capital Works program for years 2014 and 2015. The tendered amount for the project is $1,650,000.00. Transportation Services portion of this work is $259,000.00. This amount will be billed back to transportation services resulting in a total cost to the Sony Centre of $1,391,000.
Coming to Sony Board for approval next week.

Anyone want to place bets on if Backstage will have its crane removed before L Tower?

Update: The Large Crane Tower was scheduled to remain in place over the winter and be removed in March, it now may not be removed until April.
Update: the Sony Centre Plaza is now scheduled to be completed by June 2015, prior to the Pan Am Games.

Looks like Backstage has done little to tarnish the view of L tower, as some people were worrying about.

No, but it's still ugly. What is with the design of the spandrel!?

To be honest I don't think it's too bad. I like that the glass is a lot darker than the ubiquitous green and light blue stuff that dominates South Core.

It was never the view of the L Tower that concerned me, it was always the view of 19 The Esplanade (the "flatiron" building) that I was concerned might end up being obstructed.

Kind of reminds me of Space Invaders.
