The quarterly Rider Levett Bucknall Crane Index shows strong growth in the number of cranes in operation across North American cities, as new projects get underway and a number of large projects continue to march their way toward completion.
The July 2019 survey summary explains: "Of the thirteen cities surveyed, five experienced an increase in their respective crane counts. Five had a decrease in counts while the remaining three held steady."
Toronto leads the index with a whopping 120 cranes in operation, while Seattle and Los Angeles are tied for second place with 49 cranes each. Calgary is next with 37 cranes, while Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York City follow with nearly 30 cranes apiece.
Strong population growth in Toronto is feeding that city's building boom, according to the report, whereas residential and office projects are fueling growth in Los Angeles and Seattle, respectively.
