Protip: You can often get a good idea of the final height of a building based on the height of the crane(s).

The crane boom typically hangs about 30 feet above the finished height of the building, so you can eyeball the height by counting down two or three mast sections from the base of the cab.

^^ This is presuming the cranes are not jumping heights like the 5th and broadway project. As our projects get more complex and involved, cranes that jump height will become more and more common

ok, something I've always wondered and have never been around when it happens.      after all the rock is excavated, how do they get the heavy track equipment out of the hole??   

[BNAfan]

They don't.  They remain in the basement as the furnace.  

 

 

 

 

Sorry, couldn't miss a Mike Mulligan opportunity.

They leave a ramp as long as they can and then very carefully lift out any equipment left in the hole with a crane.

[MLBrumby]

Or drive it up the ramps in the new garage. 

[titanhog]

I'm actually wondering how the crew gets in and out right now.  I don't see an elevator / ladder.

The tower crane?      I wondered about that, but those track bucket loaders are seriously heavy.

When I look at renders of the building...it seems there are a couple of more actual floors...but the western facing facade seems to go about another 4 floors in height.  So...I'm thinking the final height will be equal to another 5-6 floors.

[OnePointEast]

Yeah the facade facing the interstate loop looks to extend above the actual superstructure.

Progress on the Amazon tower.

 

And Grand Hyatt.  Wonder how long it will take to fill in that vast space beside the tracks.

Talk about work-related stress.   Being the worker responsible for securing the crane cables to the 2 ton piece of steel dangling above traffic!
