Seattle currently has more than 50% of the cranes nation wide.
That said, they're almost universally building apartments (exceptions being Insignia, LUMA, and Nexus, that I know of).
- lackbeard 9y agoYes, its much better than nothing, but it's also too little and too late.
- MaulingMonkey 9y ago> Seattle currently has more than 50% of the cranes nation wide. Got a source for that? https://archpaper.com/2017/08/booming-seattle-dominates-nationwide-crane-count/ https://archpaper.com/2017/08/booming-seattle-dominates-nati... puts it closer to 20%, although that's only counting fixed cranes...
- jsolson 9y agoWellllll, I can't edit it anymore, but yeah, got that totally wrong (original source was a real estate developer who's involved with a couple of the projects). I suspect he took "about 60% more than any other city" and radically misinterpreted it (and I went and parroted him -- oops). Original conversation was right around when this article was published: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/seattle-has-most-cranes-in-the-country-for-2nd-year-in-a-row-and-lead-is-growing/ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/seattle-ha... Apologies for the error!
- MaulingMonkey 9y agoNo worries, it happens - and it's still some pretty impressive stats I wasn't aware of before :).
