Vancouver Construction Crane Count

[jollyburger]

I have to get closer to see but there's at least three cranes around Wesbrook UBC right now.

I think the yellow crane from the Davie Safeway site has been removed.

I just added a Luffing Crane into the Cambie Corridor list as over the weekend the crew that's building the new space for the Canadian Cancer Society at Ash and West 10th installed the crane for that project.

Going up. That's the Hootsuite building that Westbank is putting up, part of 'Main Alley' link

The Post downtown had ANOTHER crane that appeared to be going up today too. And they recently popped up a crane at the SE corner of 6/Yukon for 'the Yukon'. Another strata office in the Mt. Pleasant slopes.

Couple more cranes up, one for Cambie Gardens and one up in the Properties in West Van for one of the lowrise buildings near the new 'Cypress Village'.

Anything come down lately? the number is still rising as far as I track it. Closing in on 200!

[TheTerminalCity]

On that number 200...another crane went up near Cambie/Broadway yesterday, for the CityLink office building just west of Cambie on 8th Avenue (near the BC Liquor store).

For those keeping score at home, that's about 430,000 sq. ft. of office and job space (CityLink, 500 W Broadway, the old 3 Vets site, NE corner of Yukon/8th, Beltline, the Nickel, and the Cressey site at 6th/Yukon) all in various stages of demo/construction in a few blocks of eachother. Roughly similar to Telus Garden, to provide a downtown scale.

Thanks, I put it in the sheet. Also removed two, Cap West and Promenade at Lonsdale.

Still hovering around 185.

There's some hammerhead crane near the Second Narrows bridge at the McGill exit for what looks either light industrial or port related. Possibly Bridgeway Street

I think there's four cranes up along Main Street now going up the hill to Broadway. Second one just went up today I believe on the Hootsuite/Westbank project.

That new crane Jollyburger spied is on the north side of 4th from the Hootsuite site. It's for a seven-storey mixed industrial/office building. Rendering looks nice

Thanks guys, I've updated the sheet, added a few, removed a few, and were still around 185. Seems as though we've plateaued there... unless we're missing some from the SoF.

Anyone go by Park Royal recently? I seem to recall two cranes up for the new condo development.

Yes, there are two cranes up at the corner of Taylor and Marine for the 14 and 11 storeys Park Royal South buildings.

[LeftCoaster]

Yep, those two have been on the tracker for a bit now.

Some slight changes around Mt Pleasant and Burnaby have been updated.

Cambie continues to be a nightmare to track, so many cranes on shorter timeline projects makes it tough to keep up!

There's a crane on the old 3 Vets site.
Edit - just noticed it was mentioned above
