The number of construction cranes at this massive site on the southwest waterfront is pretty amazing -- there are at least four times as many cranes as in this shot. They tore out the old Hogates and every other bit of ugly low-construction down there that was not part of the ancient DC Fish Market, dug a MASSIVE hole with a coffer dam to hold back the river, and are putting in a massive building complex that should be a spectacular addition to D.C., with shops, promenade, sail boat marina, retail stores, office space, parks, etc.
I think this is the biggest single construction project I have ever seen in D.C., stretching over 24 acres of land and more than 50 acres of water.
