I'll enjoy watching this go up and see how it turns out, and what it turns into.

I built the core, there is no room inside the core for a tower crane.
The tower crane is needed to install the steel because real estate on that site is at a minimum. There is nowhere to put a moveable crane that can lift the steel safely around the whole site.
The core isn't actually an elevator core either on this site. It's there to attach the steel beams. The actual elevator shaft is in the corner of the site.
The tower crane is needed even if it was an 8 floor building.
