Today was an important milestone for Junction House: The construction crane was erected! The crew started early in the morning and we ended up having a perfect bluebird day (I don't know where this expression comes from but it's used all the time by skiers and snowboarders).
It's been a tough winter for most of us. And so in my view, it is particularly important to celebrate these kinds of milestones and achievements. Thankfully, there seems to be a general optimism in the air these days. I think it's going to be a great summer.
Now that the crane has been installed, it's time to start building up.

Rider Levett Bucknall recently released its RLB Crane Index for Q3-2018. Here are the top 10 cities in North America (table via the New York Times):

I’m not at all sure how the study defines “mixed-use” projects. But given that Toronto only has 2 of them, it must not include projects with grade-related retail.
Across North America, residential and mixed-use projects (whatever they are) make up approximately 70% of the total crane count.
I am surprised that Miami didn’t make the list.
