If you have the chance to drive down Johnson, I'd highly recommend it. This thing is a behemoth. Laid down as it currently is, it stretches nearly half the 900-block of Johnson.

Can I assume the extra height of 989's new crane is to allow it to swing clear of Legato once the latter building reaches its full height? It sure would be cool if 989 were going to be as tall as its crane suggests. I guess we'll have to wait for Hudson Place for that.

Considering the source, I am surprised the response was that polite.  ;)

It appears to be a very skinny crane - and it's not just the height giving that impression.

Oh, bam! NPARKER likes my comment! Thanks NPARKER (I guess since I "know" you other places I can "infer" to talk for you).

I forgot to mention the most important reason for the height of this crane. The reason for the extra height is not just to clear the Legatto building or any surrounding buildings but it is to clear Campells crane when they are at max height. When Campbell is finishing their building the top of their crane will be 55’ above the Legatto building which means Farmers crane will be 70’ above the Legatto. There will be 15' clearance between the cranes when Campbells is at max height.

Mobile broke down once around 2:30pm prior to Cab lift and then again around 3:30pm just before the Jib was going to get lifted.
Will resume tomorrow when things are fixed.
 
thanks to my source
