Does anyone have any insight as to tenants of the almost completed cluster of buildings in the middle of the development?

futrecndvlpr

This is a pretty nice looking little area, to bad the folks that are develping the area around Lowe's on 144th & Maple couldn't have come up with something this decent looking. Has anyone seen that horribly ugly looking 2 story strip center being developed by Hoich on the east side of Lowes, goo...

From the NYT, in regards to the Time Warner Center... Last month, J. Joe Ricketts, the founder of Ameritrade, the online stock brokerage company, paid $29.2 million for the 78th floor of the north tower. The deed for the apartment was filed with the city on March 31. Mr. Ricketts, whose son Peter is...

Is it fair to say that locating out West is NOT what the employees want? Outside of a select few "sources" does anyone have anything to support the statement that "THE EMPLOYEES OF AMERITRADE WANT TO MOVE DOWNTOWN"? Swift, come on, sell your stock b/c of where the Company is loca...

I would say the above post/picture is a prime example of why not to start the process now... Think of all the time and energy spent making the plan above, and for what, they are going to create a new plan anyway. I flew my 65 connections this year and would like to see some upgrades in and around th...

You are not understanding what I am saying... start planning in 2010, then you will have 5 years to plan, putting you in 2015, allowing for 5 years of construction, 2020 you have your new terminal.

futrecndvlpr

Plan for the future, exactly what I said, if we start planning in 2010, that should give us a solid 5 years of planning and 5 years of construction. I wouldn't consider having 4 SWA planes parked at gates a good use of gates... they could just as easily park their planes elsewhere like Delta and Con...

futrecndvlpr

The plan looks nice, but seriously folks, who is going to fill these gates? There are empty gates in both terminals currently and even the gates that are being rented aren't being to capacity. I realize this is a long term thing, expanding an airport, but I would suspect maybe around 2010 or 2015, a...

If AF really has someone willing to relocate downtown and bring 1500+ jobs I am willing to bet that b/w the Chamber Foundation, the City and the State we could come up with a slew of sites downtown and give them to AF to build there building. I am going to have to pull the hogwash card too.

Agreed Streets, that shot from the Med Center area is great. In other Omaha related news, there was an article in Forbes on DTN. More interesting was an article on the largest private companies in America. There were three Omaha companies... Teneska Energy ($6b+ in revenue), which would be a F500 we...

As proof of Swift's point- 43 different Starbucks and counting... never been anywhere else.

It was a segment during "The Closing Bell".

I love the B&W shot of the Burlington building.

Good work.

Ok, so I am sitting in SFO, taking a little break from a conference and watching CNBC and what do I get for a lunchtime special... Omaha. There was a great 5 minute segment on the new PAC along with a really good pitch for the city. I know many would have been happy to hear that they mentioned city ...

futrecndvlpr

Well this would be great.

This best come true, b/c this would be the perfect bday present for the gf.

I have had lunch there a couple times. Food is pretty darn good and the price is pretty darn good. I think it is the new favorite of my "Friday Lunch Crew".

In a related note, what the heck is going on at The Hill. It looks like there has been litte or no progress on that place the whole summer.

Decent game at the Qwest, even with 2/3 of the upper bowl tarped off, one ticket still got you about ten seats.

Please ramp up the marketing UNO!

The old UP building is not considered in the vacancy rate; so the Townsend/AF project will have no impact on the vacancy rate.

futrecndvlpr

I am not sure how adding 1,000 jobs to the city is seen as a waste of any parcel of land? While I perfer the Townsend proposal, if there is a realistic oppurtunity to bring a 1,000 new jobs to the city, I have to side with AF. Between the UP site, the Pinnacle site and that surface parking lot locat...

Good work Streets. There is nothing like coming back to a hotel in some random city and jumping on the site to find out some new and exciting development information.

Novak, are you able to elaborate on any news at Swanson.

futr.... out from Aggieland.

We were speaking along similar lines to Streets post.

futrecndvlpr

I am going to throw my weight behind Streets rumor (~180 lbs). I have also heard from my source, who is 10 for 10, that this site is going condo and that it is pretty much a done deal.

That my friend is a good find.

Nice work.

MrWh1t3, just curious, did you ever get around to taking a look at Park Plaza? If so your thoughts...

Hey, I am not buying by dream home. Thanks for the feedback everyone and thanks for the email Ryan. I think in the future we would all like to see more developments of this type of density with some first floor retail and perhaps a little mass transit to boot. From the hometown of Garth Brooks, I am...

I may have a jaded view, but I like the color scheme. They go for around $120k, depending on the which of limited number of options you select. I would agree with Icejammer, I am going to guess that any Celebrity or Hearthstone home in this price range is going to be constructed in a similar nature....

futrecndvlpr

So what you are telling me is that the house may at any moment implode?

futrecndvlpr

I didn't count, but for memory, there are about 10 units completed or near completion. Another 10-15 are at various stages of construction. The first phase, roughly 1/3 of the development is supposed to be completed by '06. Thus far I would say about 70% of phase one is sold. The only thing that is ...

futrecndvlpr is a new home/condo/townhome/row house owener. Something, as far as I know, new to the Omaha area, the Village at Sprague (http://www.tritonhomesusa.com). I think this is the type of development that many of us wish there were more, at least from the density perspective. They are obviso...

Agreed MrWh1t3. I find myself in a nearly identical situation.

I am dying to move DT. Everytime there is an announcment I think maybe this will be the one, but to no avail.

I guess there are only two options, get married or what a few years.

75-80 gates! I would like to see expansion as much as anyone else, but who is going to use all these gates? You need to have some sort of hub to accomadate that many gates and unfortunately due to the state of the airline industry, this is not a scenario of "if you build it they will come"...

Sounds like a bad storm. I am curious (my car is in long term parking at Eppley) if there was any hail?

futrecndvlpr

I won't believe this until I walk inside one of the stores. What other projects has this guy done?

futrecndvlpr

They worked on it over the past two weeks, finishing just in time for the Berkshire folk. As far as cost goes, in the scheme of downtown development, I think this project was about as good as bang for your buck as you can get.

futrecndvlpr

As for opening in time, when I toured the Tip Top about a month ago, I was told that the contractors were more worried about completeing the apartments, then Inplay in time, for whatever that is worth.

futrecndvlpr

Papillion Promenade... sounds like a done deal.

futrecndvlpr

What exactly would meet your approval streets?

It is worth noting, that Union Pacific also leases the Union Pacific Center.

futrecndvlpr

Gallup came out and said that they will not be buildling a hotel. They are satisfied with the hotel market downtown as it is.
