“Rising cost has some effect, but I also see still robust activity,” Doug Demers, managing principal of B+H Architects, said about Seattle construction, according to The Seattle Times. “I haven’t seen any slowdown in incoming investment from Asia or the Middle East.

Here are the five U.S. cities with the most construction cranes:
- Seattle (65)
- Chicago (40)
- Los Angeles (36)
- Denver (28)
