919 West Fulton drops the tower crane; 7 remain in Chicago’s skies

919 West Fulton no longer has a tower crane, having taken it down last week. Skender (who watched crane removal up close and personal in that Instagram video) topped out the building in July, so it stuck around for a bit before being lowered to the ground.

The Fulton Market District still has one tower crane in operation, at 220 North Ada. There are six others around town:

2 at UChicago Medicine in Hyde Park
Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park
Project H.O.O.D. in Grand Crossing
1723 South Michigan in the South Loop
400 Lake Shore in Streeterville

We have one permit awaiting erection, at the Thompson Center in The Loop. I was told yesterday that should go up by the end of the month.
