Charlotte Crane Count

[CarolinaDaydreamin]

Nationally I don't believe Charlotte is being counted on the Crane count lists, as no southern city has a RLB office. Lets keep a running total of crane count to show up this list.

 According to @Havemercy we are at:

25 by my count:  Uptown 9 (KJHburg count), Southpark 6 (KJH), Novant Presby 3, Atrium Midtown at Kenilworth 1, Park Road 1, University City 1, Providence Rd 1 (was still there 2 weeks ago), Southend 2 and then Unknown 1 (I see this one way off in the distance from my office in Midtown, looking towards the southwest).

Urban Planet Charlotte Crane Index has Charlotte at 25 cranes

There are two on Park road across from south meck HS.

Is putting the name of the project on your crane a thing now?

[videtur quam contuor]

It is if you are Jim Gross, developer. A former neighbor and may he always be so.

[nicholas]

Kane does that in Raleigh as well.

The crane industry is booming, that entire industry is being lifted to new heights.  

I love watching the construction cranes at work:

I created this a few years ago and somebody (not me) has been updating it.  I think.  It's open to all for collaborative editing.

That's pretty awesome.

Add the Ellis to the list. That crane is being added now.

Another crane is up at Atrium Midtown at Kenilworth and the crane at Opus is down on Providence road.

This thread needs some more attention. Charlotte isn't being recognized for the amount of active cranes this city has!!They're almost 20 between Uptown and Southend.

 

[NOLA2CLT]

All Charlotte UPers should seriously look into renting a tower crane for their back yard.  If everyone posting here could add one, im pretty sure we would rival Toronto's 97.  They would have to list Charlotte then!

[Matthew.Brendan]

I mean, here are 6 cranes just from my window! Not even including Duke yet.

I’d love a new total count if anyone has the info.  Including all Charlotte Neighborhoods.  I’m sure we’re closer to 30 now or by the end of this weekend.

Wow.

to get an accurate count of cranes we really need to break this up.  I can do the outer suburbs since it seems many of you never get out there the Ballantynes and SouthPark  (however I dont think there is a crane there yet at the new office tower in Ballantyne)  and we need to decide on ground rules.   Only tower cranes.  I think Nashville counts every crane that pops up but I think we should do tower cranes only.  It would be good to get a list going in case one of misses by area like a South End list, University list, Ballantyne, Southpark, Uptown Inside the Loop count etc.  

Free coffee and doughnuts for all who help and this is NOT a joke from Charlotte's own Krispy Kreme. 

[KJHburg]

Uptown has 11 tower cranes 

2 at Lennar apt tower

1 at Intercontinental as of today

2 at Jonas Federal

1 FNB

1 JW Marriott

1 Ally Bank

1 Legacy 2 tower

1 Honeywell Tower

1 Polk site apartment tower

Here are 2 at CPCC I saw driving by today

Marriott at UNCC - 1 crane

Park Road - 1  crane

25 now.

Placing this in the proper thread

Let's count.  These are for tower cranes, not boom cranes.

Uptown:  Marriott - 1 crane, 2LU - 1 crane, 3LU - 1 crane, FNB - 1 crane, Fed Courthouse - 2 cranes, 500 W Trade - 2 cranes, Intercontinental - 1 crane, Ellis - 3 cranes.   12 cranes total

Southend: Broadstone - 1 crane, Spectrum - 2 cranes, Lowes - 1 crane.   4 cranes total

Midtown - Novant - 1 crane, CPCC - 2 cranes, Pappas - 1 crane  4 cranes total

Optimist Park - Ulta Purl - 1 crane

South Park - Apex - 2 cranes

University City - Marriott - 1 crane

Park Road - 1 crane

So far that's 25 cranes around town.  Where are some others?  Montford? Ballantyne? Airport?  I'm sure there's a few more scattered around.

There is a crane at the apartments next to the Harris Teeter on South Blvd and one at the apartments in Montford behind the OrthoCarolina office on Park Rd.

while I posting some photos in Nashville someone there posted Nashville has more 10 story buildings under construction than Charlotte.    They said they had 18 ten story or more buildings.  

I came up with 15 here in Charlotte.  Let me know if I missed anything.  They said 10 story which is fairly for Charlotte. 

1.  Duke Metro 41  2. FNB 29   3. Ellis by Lennar 33  4.  Ally Center 26  5. JW Marriott 22 6. Deliotte LU 2 18 7. Honeywell LU3 23  8. Lowes Tech tower 23 (which by the way is taller than the new Amazon tower going up in Nashville)  9.  Lendingtree Spectrums Vantage 11 10.  Intercontinental hotel 32 11.  Bohemian hotel  (15?)  12. new Ballantyne office 11 13.  Hawk 13 stories 14.  Square at West and South Tryon 10  15.  500 West Trade 14 apartments        How tall is the Apex it is 10 stories I think?  also the Liberty southpark maybe 10 I forget.  

did I forget any?  We all know our buildings tend to be much taller like Duke Metro is taller than anything built or under way in Nashville.  

[Cadi40]

The Panorama Tower in Ballantyne is 14 stories I believe?? 

[atlrvr]

The parking garage/hotel at Vantage is vertical. -22

Levine's parking garage is still under construction. ~10

Eh, Nashville is playing catch up to Charlotte 5 years ago at this point. They have been embarrassing us in regards to scoring some major hotels, though.
