I like the apparent 3-sash windows. Where is the Hampton going? If I understand where everything will be, it will be in that slot just beyond the middle block where the girders are up for the office building in first pic. Is that started yet? 

Also, I like the curve of the street. Not a boring straight line like exist in most downtowns.

From the interstate it looks like they’re doing some ground work where the Hampton Inn will be, but I haven’t been on 11th recently to confirm.

This thing is shaping up nicely, but man, I can't believe we're still so bad at pedestrian crossings. It's not rocket science, and it's like we go to 90% of the expense to get something 30% as good. If you want people to be comfortable crossing 5 lanes of traffic, you give them a safe spot halfway across. That way they can focus on one-way traffic with each crossing. Here, they went to the majority of the expense, building a divider curb, but then they ended it just before it provided the most value.

If they extended it just a few feet further it would both provide a refuge for crossing pedestrians and ensure that cars turning in and out don't get in a hurry and cut off the corner when they're most likely to be paying attention to other cars instead of walkers.

I see these types of things all over the new developments downtown, and they make a big difference on whether streets feel pedestrian hostile or pedestrian friendly.

I agree completely.  I am also bothered by the shape of those corners.  Is that typical in Nashville to have the wide sweeping corners instead of a sharper angle?  Look in that top picture how much further a pedestrian has to walk IN the street itself, just so cars can make quicker and easier turns.  Nashville is making great strides to becoming a more pedestrian friendly environment, but still has a long, long way to go before it can be considered a place that isn't built exclusively for car convenience.

God yes. I assume there's a standard spec somewhere that they work off for these and it dearly needs to be updated. Both corner radius and these slip lanes that they allow to stick around are like 20 years out of date. I was amazed to see they did a whole reworking of the sidewalk for that project in Germantown at 2nd and Madison and left a huge pedestrian death trap there.

That sure looks a lot less interesting than the original rendering as shown below. But, serviceable architecturally, nevertheless.

Health Stream is looking at expanding it's commitment of 65,000 sq. ft. in the new Phase III building with an additional 17,000 sq. ft.  That new total of 82,000 will take up about 3 floors of the 10 story building.
