Crane erection underway at 1014 Spruce

If anyone has night camera skills, I sure don't, the cranes lit up against the CWE skyline would make for a great shot. It looks like a giant light sabre battle is about to take place.

^I did one last summer, but it's been a while. Some different cranes now. Should go redo it soonish.

Big mobile crane for HVAC work at Contegix was blocking NB Tucker today.

Looks like Budrovich's Grove 7550. That's an expensive lift.

No, it’s down now. I was around there last weekend and noticed it had come down.

Toronto Has Nearly 200 More Cranes Than Other Major North American Cities
https://storeys.com/toronto-cranes-report-q1-2023/

I was in NY NY recently.  There are ALOT more than 10 cranes in the air.  Chicago has alot more than 14.  I dont think this article is accurate.  St. Louis probably has 10 in the central corridor.

That RLB index looks at the same cities every year.  I’m not sure how they source their information.

I think STL has 13 or 14 total counting the ones in the suburbs too.

We have more cranes than Manhattan !!!!

There was a semi parked on the 1100 block of Olive St. downtown earlier this morning that had a tower crane laying on it's bed.  Assume it would be for a development in or near downtown.  Anyone know what it's for?

If it was red, I wonder if the 1014 Spruce crane was coming down.

Yellow I think.  Might have been like the one shown above in this thread VS a tower crane like I initially thought.  It looked huge laying on its side.
