Tower Cranes. Always a great indicator of development to both the untrained and trained eye. They are an icon of progress in any city and it’s always good to see a new one go up with a new and exciting project. I’m happy to share with you an update to a new project and its shiny new red tower crane in the Lower Highlands neighborhood: 1560 Boulder.

A lot of the foundation work is still being completed. This project is going to be a ‘U’ shape and will be 5-stories tall. It will also feature structured underground parking as well as ground floor retail. You can find the renderings and more details of the project here.

And now on to some of the best new features when a project is going under development; the tower crane. This is a top slewing crane by Potain which can also be found being used on the Cesar Chavez Modernization.

 

In this bonus picture, right next door, Prospect on Central is looking more completed by the week and fits the area very well. With this and the addition of 1560 Boulder, the Lower Highlands will be even more of a dense urban community.

There are a lot of projects in the Highlands neighborhood from town-homes to apartments being built right now. Always a great accomplishment for any neighborhood!
