Last month we reported that there was a new tower crane up at the 1709 Chestnut site. In our tower crane census, we mentioned that a second crane was going in soon. Present day, the second tower crane is up and construction is in full swing.
First, let’s start with a look at the project site. Excavation is still underway however, the project is close to ‘bottoming out’. After excavation is complete, work will begin on the foundation and underground parking structure.
A Comedil CTT561 occupies the north side of the site, helping build the 24-story tower, while a Comedil CTT331 helps build the the 12-story tower on the south side.
While I was on the 18th Street Pedestrian Bridge, I noticed that The Confluence was starting to poke up above the Central Platte Valley skyline. This view will be drastically different in a year or so.
More cranes and more construction, how exciting!
