Re: Old Union Pacific Headquarters Lot

Yeah it’s one of the submitted RFPs and it sounds like the city will be going with this option. But like I said, it is a rumor and I can’t 100% confirm it. Figured to toss it on the thread when I heard about this weekend. Talked with my source for info on the mutual tower today and I mentioned this...

Should see crane components onsite Monday and I was told the crane will top out around 750 feet! Will be getting exciting soon.

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

I believe it has been confirmed that there will be 3 construction cameras eventually. That's exciting. Hope they install those soon. Yes. From the intel I gathered a month or so ago, there will be 3 video Timelapse CAMS. I’ll attempt to get additional info on when and their accessibility.. And welc...

Re: Rumors - Soccer Stadium - Large Office - Parking Garage

Maybe they should partner with the developer of the rumored amusement park and build in a close proximity while also finding an organization that would sponsor a youth complex around it. This could bring in soccer tournaments that would increase usage of the stadium for championship matches as well ...

Re: Rumors - Soccer Stadium - Large Office - Parking Garage

They would be dumb not to look at multiple sites. However, there are plenty of west Omaha families that would travel downtown to watch games. Being downtown doesn't hurt Creighton as I know plenty of west omaha families that attend those games as well as Union games in Sarpy. On a side note.....K.C....

You guys sound so excited. :) I question their motives, suddenly jumping into skyscrapers & subdivisions, after being content in the nursery business for decades, buying that downtown lot, and proposing another hulky, cube-shaped for downtown -- when the UP buillding's cube shape has faced some...

Re: 1416 Dodge - Lanoha Highrise

Rock Harbor, If you have a firm, unwavering, preconceived idea of what you think will look good in Omaha, you also limit the possibilities to only variations of things that have already been built in Omaha or other "similar" cities. Personally, I prefer to see new things that I haven't ne...

Re: 1416 Dodge - Lanoha Highrise

Oh, this again? It is neat to see the new renderings and angles of it... I do like it, and think it is pretty cool (especially the night lighting scheme), but I just feel it needs tweaked just a little bit to fit Omaha better and more perfectly. Then, it will be a wonderful addition to the city, im...

Re: Oak View Mall - Redevelopment Plan

Get a lego store and an American Girl store into the Westroads like the Oak Park mall in K.C. has. As far as Oakview, the only way I can see it surviving is to draw destination type retailers in. Put in an Academy Sports and an IKEA. Then people would have reasons to start going there again and othe...

Exciting! I love the new design. It makes sense that they chose Aksarben Village, if not choosing downtown, with a desired headquarters building of that kind of architecture. That design fits in an urban-style setting, and on straight streets & sharp street corners best (over suburban-style set...

I had heard the rumor that they would be opening up a location in Omaha either at the old Family Fun Center Location or somewhere near 120th & Dodge.  Not sure where the location will be, but the General Manager position for Omaha is posted on the company's website now.
