I drove by the site yesterday afternoon to see what's going on, and there appears to be no activity at all right now. They were doing a lot of excavation a few months ago, but it looks like once that was finished (?) they packed up and left. There's a large pump in place, obviously recent, and the hole isn't filling up with water again, so hopefully that's a sign that crews are meant to return.

The updated (this spring after the HCA announcement) sign at the site says "Coming 2015", which seems like a long time to allow for construction, so perhaps this is just a scheduled delay.

Over in the general development thread, arkitekte commented he was worried Palmer was having more trouble getting funding; I sure hope that's not the case. It's hard to see how there could be trouble funding it, with tenants all lined up, right? At least for the office tower part; the hotel portion might be a different matter with all the recent announcements downtown.
