New York City has restrictive building space regulations. The goal is to attract interest from street level while maintaining energy efficiency. The area is being replaced with a tri-level addition featuring double height space that is free of columns and surrounded by two different glass facades.
The overall project is years-long, but this particular stage involves an extension that was built in 1980 and once housed offices. The historic limestone and granite Art Moderne style building dates back to the 1940s. This lift was a vital part of Tiffany’s flagship store renovation. Dubbed a “monumental crane lift” by McClaren Engineering Group, a 500-ton Liebherr LTM 1500 all-terrain crane raised an LTM 1300 mobile crane seven stories and placed it securely on the roof. A post last month at International Cranes’ website tells the story of one crane lifting another to the top of the iconic Tiffany & Company on Fifth Avenue in midtown New York City.
