Re: HDR

Not sure why it is concluded that the Applied Underwriters Boys Town property is out. The articles have clearly stated that the preliminary plans include room for TWO corporate campuses. One is presumably AU but the other could be HDR. It's not out. Everyone who is saying that is incorrect. The &qu...

Re: HDR

Methodist has kicked a ton of Children's employees out of the Methodist parking garage and now they have to park down at NP Dodge. The Children's employees are not very happy about it. Apparently HDR already has workers parking down at Crossroads and shuttling back to their office. I would be surpr...

Re: HDR

You haven't heard that Methodist wants the HDR land? That has to be one of the worst kept secrets in town. I hadn't heard that it would be a patient tower but that makes sense. They already own several parcels west of HDR on the south side of West Dodge Road between 84th and 90th. I know they're in...

I thought there was a for-sale sign out front of that woodsy lot. Am I mistaken? (I'll look next time I drive by...)

Fairly certain that for sale sign has been there for the better part of a decade.

Re: HDR

Same person that told me about the Spect building also said the Daily residence at 96th and Dodge is on the short list for HDR... Can you imagine HDR tearing down Daley's personal residence to build their HQ??? :shock: If HDR builds on the Dailee residence, maybe that will light a fire under Dayly ...

Re: HDR

It is pretty interesting to see (these) types of massive firms in Omaha like HDR, DLR and Leo A Daly when neither major university in the city has the program(I don't think Creighton has an Arch program, not 100%.) Of the top 100 arch firms, 23 are in the midwest - 28 if you count Denver. These com...

Re: HDR

Informed sources say Aksarben... Nothing signed yet, but in final negotiations now. No indications as to what parcel of land. If that turns out to be true, the access and lack of parking issues that apparently soured the downtown deal will pail in comparison to gridlock caused by adding another 100...

Re: Downtown HDR Corporate Headquarters

Because their revealed design downtown involves a design that is more suited for an urban setting, then suburban, it only helps with that perception of them. So, it is easy to think of their new building being "set down" in a more urban setting, like downtown, or a more trendy, urban vill...

Re: Boys Town and farmland (144th Dodge) up for redevelopment

Can the city just take over those farm parcels, or will they have to annex Boys Town all together? All that farm ground is incorporated. They will no longer be part of Boys Town, which will allow the parcels to be annexed at a point when it makes financial sense to the city. Boys Town proper will r...

Re: Downtown HDR Corporate Headquarters

There are suitable lots in nearly every part of the city. It would seem very odd to me that a firm like HDR wouldn't want to be part of something bigger than just a stand alone building in a isolated business park. Crossroads, Civic, Aksarben, Midtown Crossing could all allow them to be a part of s...

Re: Boys Town and farmland (144th Dodge) up for redevelopment

I'm just asking one of you: Is the land that church going to build on just a parcel of land Boys Town sold them (just to the east of the church)? Or, is all that land in that section south of Pacific sold and being developed? On this thread, only the land NORTH of Pacific (and west of 144th) is sho...

Re: Boys Town and farmland (144th Dodge) up for redevelopment

There has been strong rumor for 2 years that this was going to be sold. However, the DeMarco property was the plot twist. St. Wenceslaus was in sort of a gentlemans agreement to buy part of that property to expand and build a new church. I guess that went out the window. St Wenceslaus is building a...

First Data? Wasn't there a rumour posted in one of the other threads stating the wanted to sell the north alsarben village building? They just sold the south one (I believe) to University of Nebraska for $30 million - and consolidated their people into the other building. Seems unlikely they would ...

Re: Boys Town and farmland (144th Dodge) up for redevelopment

Did I read the article correctly that HDR would be a potential tenant in addition to another large employer that is purchasing the site and seeking consolidation of employees? If so, who is the other large employer? I have been racking my brain and the only one I can think of is Kiewit. No. Those a...

Re: Boys Town and farmland (144th Dodge) up for redevelopment

Sounds exactly like this is HDR driving it. Based on the info from the story, I would say that is 100% correct. I still wish they would pursue some of the other sites mentioned including the Crossroads. The developers don't want that. 150,000sq ft of office space is not even close to what they have...

Re: Downtown HDR Corporate Headquarters

There would have been a little parking pain while construction happened, but they were adding 1000+ stalls in HDR's project. That is an insane amount of parking. I still don't understand why the city and MECA can use some of their parking during the week and run shuttles for DT office workers. That...
