I really like it, but at the same time it kinda makes my eyes hurt.

The stix photobomb in that last shot definitely makes my eyes hurt, I concur.

“Mildred…I gotta get off this cell phone while I’m driving.  There’s a building up ahead that looks like it’s about to fall over on a bunch of poles stuck in the road.  I gotta find a place to turn around."

I wonder if the paint on those poles is flammable.  What if, say, lightning were to strike one, it catches on fire and then falls on the other poles.  We'd have a big bonfire!  And our fair city would be rid of an eyesore.

And I'm assuming by "lightning" you mean "guy with a can of gasoline and a blowtorch?"

I'm curious if there is a delay on the metal panel for the colored panels that we should expect on the northwest corner (right side of Mark's last picture). It seems like that section of the building had the insulation go up, but has now lingered for a little bit.

[nashville born]

I heard the delay is because they're considering starting over and being serious the second time around.

I am a fan of the facade. It definitely adds variety (and IMO not bad variety) to downtown.

Led strip added to side of the building nice touch

Yesterday evening.

Very strange design

[TKJones]

Of course probably the strangest looking, most isolated high-rise would be one to get hit with a delay. Gonna withhold judgement on the finished product for now, but that exterior in its current state is legit hideous.

[nashvylle]

Drive along the roundabout and take a look at Haven under construction. 

[MagicPotato]

It looks like one of those Soviet era high rises.

Its got a rhythm/ pattern to the windows and isn't a giant blue box. The colored metal panels that are anticipated for the photo left corner of the building should give it a nice pop, but overall I would say this is a very solid development.
