This red and white crane has been a familiar sight above the Burano Condos construction site since the fall of 2009 …

The red and white construction crane that helped build the 50-storey Burano condo tower is about to be disassembled and removed from the site, as signalled by the installation of a temporary jib crane atop the building during the past two days.
