Crane Count September 2018

Crane Count, 22nd September 2018

The best way to look at this map is on your computer at home but I know many of you can enbiggen it on your mobiles and cell phones anyway.

12 cranes counted on the 22nd of September 2018. Last count was 15 on the 14th of August 2018.


GREEN DOT - site is 100% finished
GREEN STRIPED DOT - site topped out but not yet 100% finished
BLUE DOT - site is not yet finished
RED CIRCLE - site not previously included on Crane Count maps


Today's red-circled sites are:

 1. the lower red circle at The Albany, a long-finished site at the corner of York Street and Albany Street at Point Frederick
 2. a new site on Frederick Street, also at Point Frederick, another apartment block overlooking Fagans Bay and Brisbane Water in general. No crane at this site yet.


I've turned 2 sites brown, for broken ground but no foundations yet:

 1. the Apex site, on Donnison Street East between Baker and the railway line, a quite small site, no crane yet
 2. the golden cage of sandstone (scroll down in link) on Henry Parry Drive where it comes closest to John Whiteway Drive, no crane yet.

Below are 2 crane photos:

 1. 32 Mann Street crane being dismantled on Saturday 22nd September 2018
 2. Pinnacle site's black Y-shaped crane has been put up
 3. triple treat of 2 cranes in the foreground & 1 hidden away in the background

Crane at 32 Mann Street being dismantled, 22nd September 2018

It was a fairly still day down at ground level so it probably wasn't too blowy up there. You wouldn't want to be dismantling a crane on that very windy day we had last week.

Crane up on the Pinnacle site on Mann Street, 22nd September 2018

As you can see in the background, the Pinnacle site on Mann Street is opposite the 32 Mann Street/Finance Building site. The access lane is off Mann Street but I have to take my photos from Henry Parry Drive just to be able to see into the site. It's tucked away behind the old Telstra and Post Office buildings.

Okay, that's it for this Crane Count. I'm supposed to be working right now. If I've left anything out, or you have anything to add or to ask, click on the comments thingy below.
