One crane coming down at Bow Valley College.

[Bigtime]

The crane is up at Pixel.

[greg_a]

Let me try this:

Green: Residential
Yellow: Retail
Purple: Hotel
Very Light Blue: Class C Office Space
Light Blue: Class B Office Space
Dark Blue: Class A Office Space
Red: Under Construction
Grey: Proposed/Rumoured

Is that right?

Yup, you got them all.

Crane going up at Groves of Varsity this afternoon.

[Bigtime]

Adding it to the list!

[Bigtime]

Does anyone know if the crane at Foothills hospital is still there?

[mersar]

Does anyone know if the crane at Foothills hospital is still there?

Just looked out my window at work, and nope its no longer there. Not sure when it went down to be honest, a while ago though I think.

[Bigtime]

Thanks, I've removed it from the list.

[Bigtime]

Bow Valley College Phase II crane has come down, removed from the list.

[Cruzer]

Is the Groves of Varsity project supposed to be getting another crane? or is it being built in phases? The plan for the site looks utterly big for just ONE crane to accommodate :sly:

Its a 4 or 5 phase project (5 buildings total at least). So probably only a single crane for now.

Chalk one up for a tower crane at Maxwell Bates site.

Chalk one up for a tower crane at Maxwell Bates site.

What project is this and where in the city? I'm drawing a blank.

Edit: Nevermind a quick google search tells me it is the other project on 4th street.

[cranium]

A crane is being assembled on what appears to be the Bonnybrook waste treatment site.

[Bigtime]

I could see it this morning from Memorial and Deerfoot, looks to be almost fully assembled. I have added it to the list. Word is it is the ENMAX plant.

[cranium]

Enmax will be building their plant immediately west of Canada Malting. This crane is south of 42nd Ave, at 15a St. S.E., which puts it on the Bonnybrook wastewater facilities property. Definitely not Enmax, rather some kind of infrastructure for Bonnybrook waste treatment.

Thanks cranium, I will adjust the location name accordingly.

[clubspecial]

It looks like they are taking down a crane in the Crescent Heights / Renfrew area. Not familiar with what they are working on over there...

BTW i'm new here.

Does it appear to be around Edmonton trail? If so that may be the crane at Next. My drive home takes me by it, so I will know by this evening.

Yes it is definitely close to Edmonton Trail NE. Can see the disassembly from my office!

[Bigtime]

Thanks, I'll go ahead and assume it is Next coming down. I'll take it off the list, and welcome to the forum!

[AB Born]

Just north of the Park & Jet parking lot there is a crane base. Anyone know what it's for?

[Bigtime]

That must be for the hotel project slated for that area. I'll add the base to the list.

[cranium]

Crane at Westbrook Station was taken down today.

[Bigtime]

Removed, thanks.

[AB Born]

Hey Bigtime, it's now a full crane. +1 :cheers:

[Bigtime]

Updated!

[drto]

From what I can see from my office in Arriva, the crane at Alura is going up today and is about the height of Stampede Station right now.:tup:

[Full Mountain]

Just the tower from my vantage point, can't see any mobile cranes either, the rain probably shut them down

[Bigtime]

Thanks everyone, I have added Alura to the list.

[RicoLance21]

Crane base planted at la Maison in Elboya.

IFP has 6 cranes now.

[Bigtime]

I shall add the 6th to the IFP, thanks!

[msmariner]

Only one at the Sheppard Energy Center now.

[Bigtime]

Only one at the Sheppard Energy Center now.

I'm a little late to this party but will take it down to one.

Aura's crane going up, it looks mostly done

[Bigtime]

Added to the list!

[Cruzer]

Crane is down at Shaw

[Bigtime]

Updated, thanks!

[Jimby]

I'm wondering what was the lowest crane count since 2008?

Sorry to bring this up, but the crane assembling the tower crane (mobile crane) is a LTM 1400-7.1 with luffing jib. and if the colors are correct it is from the company Mammoet.:notacrook:

Removed from the list.

[Nudrock]

A couple of things
1. There is one of those small cranes setup at the Quarry Park (QP) apartment style condos (not Champagne but the ones off of 18st). I'm not sure of the name of the condos and can't seem to find them in Google. I know these type have been counted before so I thought I'd mention it

2. And, all the parts for a regular tower crane are on site at a commercial building excavation site also in Quarry Park. It is just south of Jacobs. Unlike all the other commercial developments there, this one is a mystery as it has no signage at all. I think that this would be the first development in QP to have a full size crane.

I should also mention that a few weeks ago, at another completed excavation site in QP (this one north of the new Telvent building). There was a large party tent erected for the day. Again, no signage on this development either. Currently, there is no further activity on this site - just a cleaned out hole. What was interesting about this one was that the tent was setup at the same time that some fellow forumer mentioned that Imperial Oil was going to announce they future office plans.

Looks like two of the south campus buildings at QP are going up at same time. One tower crane could probably support both. Can't remember if the Jacobs buildings had a tower crane. QP really seems to be taking off.

[Doug]

There is a tower crane base going up at Quarry Park South Campus today and pieces for a white tower crane ready to assemble.

[Bigtime]

So can we confirm that the tower crane going up at Quarry Park is for Imperial Oil? And is it up yet so I can add it to the list?

[Nudrock]

Yes - one big crane for Imperial Oil QP.
2nd smaller crane is for an apartment building (not condos - me thinks) in QP.

[Bigtime]

Added the tower crane for Imperial Oil in QP.

[MichaelS]

A tower crane is being put up on the site of the 4 storey warehouse building next to Village Ice Cream

(This location)

I don't know the name of this project, so not sure what you want to call it in the list Bigtime.

[Bigtime]

I've added it to the list as East Village Warehouse District.

[mersar]

I've added it to the list as East Village Warehouse District.

Should be Beltline Warehouse district, its south of the tracks. I'll see if I can dig up the project name tonight at BPG, I'm pretty sure it was on the plans we were circulated.

[Bigtime]

Yup, I did list it as East Beltline, yet for some reason I post on this page East Village.

[craner]

Added the tower crane for Imperial Oil in QP.

I still feel the rage inside when I think of IOL selecting QP over a downtown tower. Pissmeoff.:hell:

[Nudrock]

A tower crane has been setup for Cana Construction's new headquarters at 4st near 58Ave SE.

[Bigtime]

Added to the list, thank Nudrock!

[Nudrock]

Actually it's thank you Bigtime for doing the updates.

[cranium]

While technically not in the city of Calgary; Tsuu T'ina is going ahead with their casino and hotel project. A crane is being assembled on that site today. Given its proximity to the city , I would be inclined to include this one in the count.

[Bigtime]

I'm with you cranium, that is practically in the city. I'll add it to the list.

[Deepstar]

Geez 38 cranes, with more on the horizon. I see at least two for City Center and one for Fuze. Also we should be seeing some for IOL in QP. I would guess at least three minimum.

I was just looking at Edmonton's crane count and it's at 7 with 2 more on the horizon. Considering Calgary had supposedly overbuilt in the last boom, I'd say we are doing pretty well.

Well also see at least one for 11th ave place, and at least one for 'The River'....possibly another one for the development just north of Arriva.....can't recall the name of it.

Don't forget 6th and 10th and Mark on 10th. 10th avenue may have 6 cranes alone in the next year. If Oslo restarts, that could be up to 8.

[Bigtime]

Surreal, for the development just north of arriVa, if you mean that new warehouse building they have a crane up already and I have it in the count.

[Surrealplaces]

^Yup that's the one. Thanks!

[Surrealplaces]

Come to think of it, we could see one for Guardian, and possible Cantos Museum shortly.

Damn, you're right.

Might also be a crane in the future for Biscuit block, also just north of Arriva:

not local but crane related, have you seen the picture of the dangling crane on West 57th St in NYC?

[Bigtime]

Yup, that is crazy!

[monocle]

/\ holy smokes. How do they get something like that down? Heli?

I wonder if it's at the mercy of the elements, or if they can teather it until the storm passes?

[Bigtime]

Right now I think it's at the mercy of the storm until tomorrow. I wonder if it will make it?

[monocle]

Scary.
I hope there was/is time to suck it back into the building for the evening.

[Nudrock]

2nd IOL tower crane is now up.

[Bigtime]

Added to the list.

[Bigtime]

Hey guys, everyone take a look at the first post and make sure we don't have any old ones that are down, or if I'm missing new ones. Want to make sure we are as accurate as possible.

Thanks!

Are we to see 2 cranes for the first phase? That area in Eau Claire was a jungle of cranes when Centennial + Jamieson were going up.

[frinkprof]

^There will be at least one more on the west side of the pit. I'll try to get an exact number of cranes after the Christmas break, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

[You Need A Thneed]

The crane at Stantec Barlow is no more - perhaps for a while already.

[Jimby]

I think the crane at the house at 27 X 20 SW is gone and also maybe the crane at Shepard.

[Bigtime]

I've removed those three from the list.

[Jimby]

Sorry, the crane at Shepard is still there. It must be at least 17 kms away from my place, so it is right at the very limit of my vision.

Looks like they might be dismantling Keynote's crane this weekend. If so, that was quick.

[Bigtime]

I'll keep an eye on it and remove it if it comes down.

Leads me to believe the Keynote crane can come off the list.
