At 1571 Maple, looks like they can park the crane in place of one of the low-rise sections of the building while the tower goes up.

Cost wise, hammerhead tower cranes and larger crawler cranes are relatively close, with foundation and engineering costs being the difference. (Luffers can be double the rental cost.) Obviously there are a lot of variables, but we generally prefer a tower crane for the better productivity and safety.
