Official Sydney and Area Projects Thread

I saw this pop up in the IG story for Cape Breton Post, and thought I should get on here right away. Glad to see others are watching for things in Sydney, as Taeolas beat me to it.

I don't remember when the last tower crane was used. I was hoping they'd use one for the Membertou Hotel, and the NSCC site was a large enough project for one, but both used mobile cranes.

Here's the Post's story with some colour.

Crane installed for Cape Breton Regional Hospital project



For the next two years, two tower cranes will become familiar objects on the landscape as a major redevelopment project continues at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. The cranes, one 220-ft- high (pictured) and the other 140-ft-high, were shipped on 26 truckloads from Montreal to Sydney. The cranes will be used to assist with the construction of the new clinical services building.
