Back trundling round the north west, thought I better post a few.

Second crane base at the site between Ovale and Every Street


From here it looks like one of Beetham's cranes has grown

JRB, Spectrum is the 3 white cranes and the core to the right of the pic. they are behind the railway bridge in your shot. Hidden by the buildings are Quebec to the left and Abito and Tempus to the right. The blue crane in the foreground is a small development who's name escapes me for the minute, all in, a very busy part of town.
