That’s most of the One Grant Park tower crane in the distance, but don’t worry. I’ll get you closer.
Accumulating tower crane parts hinted at a full-fledged assembly. And sure enough, One Grant Park added a tower crane to its arsenal over the weekend. One week after planting the stub in concrete, Central Contractors Service (that’s the ALL Crane folks; they know tower cranes) was back on South Loop soil, installing the shiny red Potain MD 485B (yep, I can still read a permit.)
- The tower went up Saturday, as seen from the Illinois Medical District.
- Getting a little closer now.
- Inspection fly-by.
- Still some epic foundation work going on, even on Sunday.
