10! (confirmed, with possible evidence of an 11th?) That's as many cranes as there are in New York City right now.

There's a lot more space there to expand. Maybe we'll get the waterfront right this time.

And Vancouver didn't make the cut not due to a low level of high rise construction but because they've surely counted Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Delta as separate cities rather than just 'Vancouver'.

Hah, just imagine if they added the 905 to Toronto's crane count.

They'd probably have to move us to Baffin Island to avoid covering up Chicago, Boston and NYC.

Kitchener Waterloo could easily make it on here. In fact both cities individually probably have more cranes than New York, Chicago and Boston. Just goes to show how crazy development in Canada is.

Markham has ATLEAST 11 cranes up right now of the ones that I can think about, which is crazy.

I have such a hard time believing there's only 10 cranes operating in NYC. I'm basing this off nothing other than my gut.

Yeah that’s definitely off but not by a whole lot, I was there the other week and there are much less cranes than usual. I can think of 10 off the top of my head in Manhattan and another 5-10 in Brooklyn/Long Island.

they might have fewer cranes, but the buildings some of those cranes are putting up are in the 300 and 400 meter categories

New York construction uses a lot of scaffolding and a few mobile cranes. At least from what I’ve seen. And that’s for buildings 12,14 stories or so.

There's definitely some sort of weird inferiority complex in Toronto.

Plus they're putting up much better quality buildings than us is most cases.

This graphic is hilariously wrong and is discussed as such every year it is released.. it doesn’t take much to figure out that NYC has more than 10 cranes right now.10! (confirmed, with possible evidence of an 11th?) That's as many cranes as there are in New York City right now.

toronto might be #1, but not by such an absurd margin. The map way underestimates the number of cranes in American markets.
