That is awesome news! Who wouldn't love to work next door to a tap room too.

I take it that this will be used as just corporate offices for them?

Great news:

Building along Gene Leahy mall will house trucking company — oh, and maybe a beer tap room

Image
A three-year stretch of uncertainty for a storied 127-year-old office building along downtown Omaha's Gene Leahy Mall has taken a positive turn.

The twist involves a new owner, renovations — and, possibly, a cold beer for those passing by in the future.

Kirsch Transportation Services, currently based in Council Bluffs, is the new owner of the complex that used to house Alvine Engineering at 11th and Douglas Streets, north of the mall.

Matthew Kirsch, who, with his mother Camilla Moore Kirsch, owns the incoming transportation business, also is a partner in Keg Creek Brewing of Glenwood, Iowa. He's pondering how a tap room might fit into the eastern storefront section of the downtown structure.

Beer taps or not, the broader 30,000-square-foot structure is to be transformed into a new home base for the nearly 60 Kirsch employees helping to move materials around North America.

According to the company, revenue increased by by 226 percent in a five year period (2012 to 2017) to $62 million. It arranged the movement of 31,000 loads last year, up from 8,000 in 2011.

Now would be a good time for preservationists to get out ahead of this. Raise funds, work the owners and the city to arrange moving the buildings and be ready when the time comes.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that this out of town company will come in and tear down those buildings. They will take all of the negative press, and then after a while their project "falls through". OPAS then sweeps in and develops the land.

I would be OK with a 9 story building fronting the GLM in the Holland green space. If they could move the Specht, et al. a block east to the east side of the Pinnacle Bank parking lot I think it would really help that block. I love the Pinnacle Bank building, but I hate that it stands between two surface parking lots. The lot to the east could accommodate the buildings fronting Douglas Street and add period buildings to that block. Happy Hollow Coffee is a smaller building and has many more options as to where it could fit. Just my little dream of what could be.

Some out-of-town developer, huh? Probably will lease space to OPA, would be my guess.

Sounds like another fight brewing.....or maybe the Specht, Happy Hollow and Alvine Buildings will get moved to a place where there is still some historic context left. Those places are getting harder to find.

Given the past 24 hours... I have to wonder if something is happening here that is trying to hide under the HDR train wreck.
Is there a divert attention and obtain controversial permits play going on?
I hope people don't fall asleep to an OPAS end run Statue of Liberty play going on...

Ok, I thought it was OPAS that submitted a site plan....
Well, this is going to be interesting to watch...

Yep, Alvine Engineering is moving in to development where the Wallstreet Tower Showroom was. I think they said a 9 story building was going to replace all those old buildings.

I am still hoping this is not all true, but I trust the first source and now you are hearing it too.
Wow a 9 story building! Such a skyline changer! Totally worth tearing the Specht Building down!
