Oh geez, can't believe I missed that

I thought the office building in Phase I was 250k sq ft?

Two of these hit...I heard a rumor the Hines office building at Con Agra had a tenant...

I'm fairly certain, Zzaxys will be out of business, soon after the rise of West West Farm based BlobThunk, a subsidiary of HomeInstead, with it's ground breaking capabilities, bringing any and all mind requisitioned goods to the consumer, edible and otherwise, by way of their bathroom based and 100% post consumer waste renewable, 3D printer technology.

In the year 2097 when a rising tech company called Zzaxys moves its homegrown headquarters downtown following exponential growth in the revolutionary service it provides, that being the ability to order products for sale online with your mind and deliver them by autonomous helicopters.

Curious to see what people think could be or will be the next big skyline changing project downtown?

I'm hoping the office development could start a domino effect of office space running full downtown and showing other businesses that Omaha and its downtown are a great place for business. Not only that, but it would fulfill the current excess of vacancy downtown that was causing major question marks for any chance of office space for Lot B, Capitol District, ConAgra redevelopment, etc.

These employers with roots downtown are just more advocates for great things like the streetcar-which would only help to attract even people and businesses. In a perfect scenario this would all work out. At least we have great people working behind the scenes to try and get these things done!

Since you mention the new ConAgra building, don't forget the Chamber will also go there, and their 13th and Harney property is on the market now, RFP decision will be made by April/May.

Throw in the already announced Kiewit and you've got an explosion of office growth in downtown. Lanoha would have to be next since FNB, Woodman, OWH and landmark (post hotel) are full. With that major splash, I would be surprised if more people didn't start to consider downtown...
