Honolulu’s construction crane count continues to rise, Rider Levett Bucknall report says
Quote:
The number of construction cranes increasing in Honolulu can be attributed to the much publicized uptick in residential activity in the Kakaako neighborhood.
Tower crane counts dotting Honolulu's skyline increased to 16 at the most recent count in November from 13 in August, according to the inaugural edition of Rider Levett Bucknall's North American Crane Index.
Residential projects account for 53 percent of the tower cranes in Honolulu, with large commercial projects representing 33 percent of the total cranes, the report said.
Health care and hospitality projects make up a smaller percentage of the total crane amount.
While a couple of tower cranes have come down in the last six months as residential high-rise projects are completed, several more developments have begun and the pipeline of projects is likely to result in additional cranes during the next 18 months, Rider Levett Bucknall said.
