[whatever]

So I take it this one is steel construction? No point bringing in a crane like that if it's reinforced concrete

I wonder what is the cost of that thing?

It's not steel - it's still mostly concrete framed. There are some large structural steel elements in the lower levels including the start of the super-columns, but it's still mainly concrete.

Could it be that certain elements of project are too heavy for the typical cranes used in the city?

I dont have time to look for it, but earlier in the thread someone mentioned the construction may be similar to the CITIC Bank Headquarters in China.

We're gathering info about the crane, and are hoping that some of you will post some clear shots of it in context. Best shots will end up in a front page story!
