Re: Mercantile (Conagra campus development)

They're adding some white cladding on the north side exterior that I hadn't seen elsewhere on the building. Interesting look.

In the meantime I hope they try to turn this into a legitimate park. I'm getting tired of these blank open fields downtown instead of usable green space.

Re: Turner Park East

I could care less about height here. The biggest thing for me is the fact that this can theoretically bring a walkable neighborhood right to the edge of the interstate, and get us that much closer to having a fully connected midtown and downtown.

Re: Omaha ALL OVER national media lately

I dunno if this counts as being in the national media, but last season on Orphan Black (BBC America), BCBS's headquarters building in Aksarben Village was used as a stand-in for a research facility in a fictional town of "Tisdale" for a quick shot. [youtube]https://youtu.be/c3H3RFQXgg8[/yo...

Re: New HDR Corporate Headquarters

consider that the Lied Transplant center is only 12 stories, 16 could still look plenty tall, especially in that location. It's not the next first national, but the design will be the focal point over height and having one more pretty thing in town for people to come gawk at isn't bad.

I'm not a police officer, but from what I do know of police officers, if I had to take a guess they were looking to use the element of surprise on someone they considered potentially armed in a nearby room.
