One will see the crane slowly disappear as floors go up. There will literally be a closet where one can walk in and the crane will be there like a stairwell. Of course the boom arm, cab, counter weights, and pulley system will be removed from the top.<br /><br />My uncle, now diseased, said this was common place when he hung steel in NYC for about 45 years. In lots of buildings the crane remains inside the building, and in the case of the Hyatt, this seems to be the case as well.<br /><br />13 stories and 176 feet is the official height from sidewalk to roof but does not include a spire or cap. I am thinking the building will be at 200 feet.

There could be even further limited views if the other proposed towers in that area are built.

By comparison, Encore is about 210 to 215 feet tall at its four corners (the four penthouse units).<br /><br />It can be difficult to estimate an under-construction building's height by noting its crane height at any given time, as a tower crane (courtesy of a lift) can be raised (the crane actually inserts, using a hydraulic lift, a segment to literally raise itself).<br /><br />For Hyatt, it appears the crane is at its tallest point. Also, note the rather short arm extending horizontally from the tower (due to close proximity to Encore).<br /><br />WW<br /><br />William Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478081230861320969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-82892868176538619512012-09-06T20:39:11.886-05:002012-09-06T20:39:11.886-05:00That's the question I wanted to know in the ea...That's the question I wanted to know in the earlier reply. Sometimes the cranes will rise with the building and be dismantled when construction is done. Not sure how it works for smaller buildings. There must be different techniques and different types of cranes for different types of jobs and sizes and heights. <br /><br />I'm sure our wise William will know. If not, I know he will find out and explain.

Is there a science to estimating the ultimate height of a building based on the maximum height of the construction crane(s)?

I know it must be near the Music City Center, but a specific address or intersection would be useful information for this reader.<br /><br />How tall (floors & height) will this building be? Are construction cranes the same height as the bldg. under construction? <br /><br />Enquiring minds want to know.<br /><br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
