I just got back from downtown. The Nest appears to be putting in entrances off of both Main and Hampton on the ground floor of the Marriott. The Hub is putting in more new windows, continuing a pattern in which some vertical texture is being added to the building, nothing strong, but enough to add some life. Also, they appear to be in a decision-making phase for which shade of a very light green or cream color to use in painting the light part of the contrasting sections the renderings have shown. About a dozen of the panels of the exterior have been painted in an assortment of colors ranging from creamy white to what I call Martha Stewart green.
