A picture of the completed crane on North Tce.

For entertainment, the full version of that one is upside down If you aren't doing anything at upload time, I wonder if your camera/phone is doing something not-quite-standard, as I'd expect Firefox, Chrome and Edge to be more compliant with standards than IE.

Just wondering whether the crane count is wrong.

I am based in country SA at present, and thus cannot physically go into the city for a drive to check it out.

Based on my calculations the CBD tally should be 11:

-X1 at Sofitel
-X1 at Wingfold
-X1 at the student accommodation block next to Wingfold
-X1 at casino
-X1 at Festival Plaza
-X1 at 269 North Terrace
-X1 at the Hotel on Market Street
-X1 at 108 Wakefield Street
-X1 at 250 East Terrace
-X1 at Penny Place
-X1 at Toms Court

Am I correct?

March update

269 North Terrace up and one of the festival centre. Crane Base at south terrace and unley Road apartments. The Wingfold tower crane is due to come down next week.

A few due to start might be on hold. Westin, Travellodge, Vibe and Tryp hotels. QT is on hold as announced a couple of weeks back.

I think the crane at 179 Greenhill Rd will come down soon sometime in the next 3or 4 weeks.

Some good news on the crane front: there will be 2 cranes on Unley Rd, one on each site. picture of northern site Saturday 4/4/2020. The southern crane has not gone up yet.

The crane at 248 Unley Rd is going up today (and maybe tomorrow). Picture from 5pm today 8/4/2020. This is the southern site. As usual, please click on pictures for bigger.

Also the beginnings of a second tower at the Festival Centre car park could just be seen above the fence from King William Rd. So the second crane would be almost in the very centre of the whole site. Could not stop anywhere for a picture.

The completed crane.5 pm 9/4/2020. The crane actually belongs to a company called load -28 and was erected using their own mobile cranes. This model of crane is similar to the crane that was on South Tce near the intersection with Glen Osmond Rd.

65 SOUTH TERRACE is erecting a crane

There is going to be 2 cranes at Unley 1 at 248 Unley Rd (completed today 9/4/2020 ) and one next door at 246 Unley Rd (crane base as at 9/4/2020).

Didn't have the opportunity for a photo but the second crane along Unley Road is going up as we speak.

Both cranes on Unley Road are up.

As both Will and Patrick - 27 mention above, both cranes are up on Unley Road. Please click on pictures for bigger.

Back to 16 cranes as North Adelaide is coming down Saturday 18/4/2020. Please click on picture for bigger.
