New Crane is up entirely. If I walk out to my truck today, I'll snap a pic. 

Or if @LA_TN has a good view of it from the fifth floor of Cummins???

Seriously, you're someone from Boston who likes NASCAR and drives a pick up truck. What is this world coming to?

I think this will be a two crane project based on the location of the first crane. Just a guess.

[markhollin]

First crane up.  More sections to be added.

Country Must Be Country Wide 

1985 Dodge Ram > 1999 Chevy Silverado > 2006 Subaru Legacy > 2007 Mazda 3 > 2010 Dodge Ram. It always comes full circle. Avid Jeff Gordon fan and lets just kick in the Eagle Scout just in case.

 

It'll be quite the site to watch this building pop over the Gulch buildings from Cummins. Even more impressive once the Landport comes down!

Second crane base in place.

Saw the second tower crane going up this morning. Wasn't able to get a picture while I was driving. 

[Mr_Bond]

Here's a pic.

Still need to get a better pic of its location on site.

A few more shots of the 2nd crane going up this morning! 

[MLBrumby]

So is this the most cranes standing in cbd and midtown ever? I count 22 thus far.

[OnePointEast]

Current crop of cranes are mostly for buildings on the shorter end of the spectrum. Hopefully next year, we'll see the bulk of the cranes being for the taller buildings planned.

[smeagolsfree]

I think there will be about 16 more up over the next 6 months, maybe more depending on what else starts, but we will have a few coming down, but we even with the ones coming down we will see a new record crane count by years end. Over 40 in Davidson easily with the majority in the loop.

[MLBrumby]

That would be cool to see... a composite of all cranes up in Davidson County, like a composite of all the Rocky Mountain peaks over 14k ft. in height. Well, ok not quite as grand, but I'd still like to study it.
