Can a moderator please update the status to Under Construction, and the height to 166 ft. (Source for the height)
Thanks.

Updated, the height seems short though only 166ft for 19floors? Even if there is no 4, 13, 14 floors that would still leave 16 levels and 166ft seems short, can anyone confirm the height?

Why cant you see this crane being used for the tower portion??

This project isnt even remotely large enough to necessitate two cranes, not to mention its in the middle of the site, so where exactly would the second crane go?

If someone slapped on a new coat of yellow paint on that crane I am willing to bet no one would know the difference. i am willing to bet many of the cranes around here are older than people suspect, they have simply been re-painted...

walking by the site it feels that the site is as big as H+H and they had two cranes. Also I always thought they put the crane so it would be beside the tower portion. where the crane is now seems to far from the "tower" part

They might move and replace the crane once the podium is completed. That doesn't look like a full height crane if the tower is 19 storeys (I don't see a section to jack up the carne)
