Well I noticed a similar Nashville website had a tower crane thread, so I decided we needed a thread where we all can share our photos or sightings of tower cranes in the region.
Current Projects that I know of that are using tower cranes~
1) Chesterfield Hyatt
2) New Mississippi River Bridge
3) WUSTL Olin Expansion
4) WUSTL Loop Student Living
5) Ball Park Village
6) MoBap Offices
7) RGA Headquarters

Streets of St Charles

Please let me know if there are any others!

The Hyatt actually makes the cluster of structures at 64-Clarkson look much more 'urban'.

Crane at the Hyatt in Chesterfield is down, and is now at the Drury Hotel in Brentwood. There also is a tower crane going up for the new RGA headquarters in Chesterfield.

There will be cranes on the WUSTL main campus for quite some time and the medical campus/cortex as well.

Just got back from the holiday weekend in Nashville; and holy crap it felt like everywhere I turned there were crane towers. That city has done a phenomenal job driving growth for the past several years!

Oh I know! Nashville is really taking off! I am really happy for them, because Nashville's urban core has been very average besides SoBro. It is basically a sea of cranes down there right now.

Here's the crane:

Here's the site:

I think it went up sometime last week. I don't have any idea what's going up at this highly visible location in Brentwood. I must have missed something.

^Oh my. Beautiful. Seeing tower cranes are a great sign the metro economy is turning around. Very happy to see this.

Any new crane sightings?

There's a new tower crane up in the heart of the BJC complex. I'm guessing it's the new WU Research Bldg. on Taylor.

^I actually got a pic of it yesterday. Unfortunately, I'll have to figure out how to post it on the forum when I have more time.

My young 'un was excited to see 4 cranes from his school playground near BJC. I thought to myself, "Ah.... my little Chalupas!"

The McKinley Research Building has pretty much completed its skeleton. I hope the crane is up long enough so that others will be able to join in the CWE fun.... I want to see a crane convention. I was really hoping to have a crane up around this time for the proposed OPUS Tower; not sure when to expect crane(s) to go up at Kingshighway/FPP for BJC.

I also noticed that the hotel by the Aventura people is well underway with construction.
