The new tower crane at Alta Roosevelt in the South Loop, 801 South Financial Place.
Unless you’re the one who has to climb it every day, it just got a lot easier to move things around at the Alta Roosevelt construction site.
Walsh Construction assembled a tower crane last week at the soon-to-be 33-story apartment tower designed by Pappageorge Haymes Partners. Walsh has been driving piles into the ground since getting a foundation permit from the City of Chicago back in March, while the tower crane permit arrived June 7.
801 Financial tweeted some fantastic photos just after the tower crane was put together.
It should come as no surprise to you that I have a few more photos of the crane below.
- There’s room for growth.
- Not crane related, just a hole in the ground.
