So how many tower cranes are up in and around Victoria?



1 - Swallows Landing
2 - Bayview
1 - Synergy
1 - Parkside
1 - Chelsea
1 - Soaring Peaks

And it looks like the crane for Upper Harbour Place is coming down today.

So we know of 7 tower cranes so far.

Is there one up at the Oswego St. hotel?

Any others?

[G-Man]

Aria and Upper Harbour Place, Our place has a small crane too.

[G-Man]

Oops see you already covered UHP

So Aria has a crane?

[Icebergalley]

Yes.. The Aria has a crane.... it's the climbing crane that Campbell used to construct the Mariott..

And it's very busy..

Talking about cranes...

When they put the crane up on Parkside I looked up the maker..

It's a very fine piece of industrial design...

The tower crane up at Bear Mountain is actually for Finlayson Heights, a 9-storey fatscraper twice or thrice as wide as it is tall.

I don't think ground has broken on Soaring Peaks quite yet -- and I don't think its selling very well, either.

Yes Oswego has one.

Does Swallows Landing still have one?
I was just examining my pics of the SL thread in The Core section and didn't see one, and can't remember seeing one. Same questiion for Shutters.

[Mike K.]

Yup, still does.

There's a minicrane up at the Railyards for the 4th phase.

[gumgum]

OK so add Shutters to the list.

[Mike K.]

Oh no, shutters doesn't but you also asked if Swallows Landing had one.

[gumgum]

OK strike Shutters from the list and re-add Swallows Landing - better yet, ignore the last several posts.

4 Synergy
5 Parkside
6 Chelsea
7 Finlayson Heights
8 Oswego

That's nine of the big tower cranes. I'm not counting those mini cranes building anything 5 floors and under.

^Like the "Our Place" crane on Pandora?

[D.L.]

ya

[gumgum]

Heightist!

[renthefinn]

Mini cranes are discraseful, and dirty. I think I heard someone say that they steal babies in the night. Keep your eyes open, and make sure your baby does'nt get snatched by a city inspired lowrise crane!

[G-Man]

The one at our place does have an cab on it though unlike some small cranes that operate from the ground.

Is our place going to be 5 floors or 6?
