Options for Homes - The Village by the Park, is on the doorstep of construction. The pictures  in this post detail part of the tower crane the installation.

The tower crane can be used to gauge the visual views of the building(s) from various areas of the community, we drove around today taking a few photos from different locations  seeing what/where the building will be viewable  when built. Typically a buildings final height will be a about ten meters lower than the long horizontal jib (or working arm), which is the portion of the crane that carries the load horizontally. A trolley runs along the jib to move the load to and fro. In this case look at the bottom red section on top of the vertical white sections and this is the approximate final height of the building.
