Here is a link to the National Register nomination. Â The whole thing is original - all one building. Â The building next door was torn down in the 1960s - Pacific Hotel. Â There are photos at the Durham.

Its karma for "accidentally" tearing down Frankie Pane's!

Historic Omaha

Mid-City wanted to tear it down and sit on vacant land until the real estate market got better in downtown; however, they found out that they couldn't get out of their lease with Verizon.

The Nexus/Noddle entry looks like the two original multi-story office buildings at One Pacific Place. Â Way to go Noddle for giving us retro 90s! Â The lighting in the rendering makes Omaha look hot and post-apocalyptic. The Buckingham proposal is quite sad. Â Who does sloppy hand renderings anymore...

the Stanley M. Truhlsen Eye Institute This is the building that is replacing another cool brick building (with deco detailing) that UNMC tore down.

They could have left the 70s structure and refaced it with a new curtain wall. Â The property could have been listed in the National Register (even with the non-historic additions). Â By listing, the developer could have taken advantage of the historic tax credits for rehabilitation expenditures at ...

Was mostly gone by the end of last Friday. Â The sad thing is the size of apartments in that building are exactly the same size that Christian Christensen is constructing - like at 22 floors.

Historic Omaha

I think the plaque inside (by the elevators) says 1979 (or 1978?). Brutalism came a little bit later to Omaha - as with all architectural styles, it seems. This library is not alone - it has Brutalist friends such as the Northwestern Bell Building (b.1980s, now OWH), the State Office Building (1980s...

Historic Omaha

If the Piano owner is still planning on doing a historic tax credit project (which, last time I checked he was) - then the chances of them tearing down a building (or buildings since there are twin apartment buildings) that contributes to the historic district are very slim. Â Program regulations do...

Quote fom Streets "PS: Maybe it's been mentioned already, but has anyone else noticed that the skyline angle in the main rendering is WAY off. The angle is that of the view from Harrah's superimposed over the interstate from the point of view of the CB side of the Kerrey Bridge." That's a ...

Historic Omaha

Its part of Obama's left wing conspiracy to put only white collar workers (architects) to work.

Historic Omaha

Finally someone is hired a awesome firm outside this city!

This project puts Omaha's planning efforts and projects to shame.

Historic Omaha

I wonder if those Logan rent #s haven't been updated in some time - alot can happen in the market in the nearly 3 years since I toured the building in 2007 - as we have witnessed. When the project was ramping up, Brandeis was still up in the air - now that building is filled with many 1 bedroom unit...

This is planned to be a historic rehabilitation tax credit project, but I think the owners are still trying to figure out how to make the numbers work.

Historic Omaha

One other thing... 19th & Dodge is pretty desolate now, but if Mr. Volleck ends up developing the N.W. Bell tower and The Logan Apts. are completed - these two projects will significantly change the look and feel of that intersection. Â Mr. Volleck had the N.W. Bell tower listed in the National ...

The owner/developer applied for TCAP/Section 1602 funds (HUD/Treasury - ARRA programs) and did not receive them - administered in Nebraska by NIFA/NEDED The project has an approved HPCA Part 2 (historic rehabilitation tax credits) with conditions. The project has received an allocation of LIHTC from...

Historic Omaha

I am really terrible at typing quickly... I meant to type - Because of the low value of the LIHTC, the developer applied for TCAP or Section 1602 funding ( I can't remember which one) but NIFA did not allocate any of those funds to the project. Â TCAP and Section 1602 are HUD funding programs (I thi...

Historic Omaha

The planning of the project has been in the works for some time now. Â They have been allocated Low Income Housing Tax Credits and planning on applying for Historic Tax Credits. Â Because of the economy, the LIHTC are not worth much and very few people want to buy them. Â The Historic Tax Credits ar...

I forgot to mention - Alley Poyner Macchiettio could do the downtown master plan - it would just require special interests to not get involved in the selection process.

when I was referring to UNMCs plan - I was referring to the Saddle Creek relocation study which would be their updated master plan (including any planning work done by other firms). RDG's plan for Park Avenue seemed like it was done well - they weren't proposing to demolish more historic buildings -...

HDR (the vast majority of their business) does new building construction, engineering and planning. Â HDR does not rehab old buildings. Â There may be a few examples of their work that are contrary to what I have just stated, but these example in no means represent what they are about. Â By the way,...

Historic Omaha

one reason....The City hired a consultant that primarily deals with new construction - and the major construction company in the City does not do building rehabs (I am not just talking about historic rehabs...I am talking about rehabs period - maybe a few exceptions for some existing UNMC buildings)...

Regarding the story on Mercer... has anyone looked closely at all the potentially historic buildings that will be demolished if the plan is carried out as shown? Especially around the Flatiron Building...there are a handful of good, solid brick buildings that could and should be rehabbed as part of ...

I am thinking retail/restaurant at the Douglas side - within the first structural bay (or so) of the parking garage - outdoor dining on the top of the garage (2nd level parking area).

Historic Omaha

In my previous post, I meant to type "...can't see good in the recent past." Actually, the building was not listed for its association with Enron as that part of the story isn't 50 years of age yet nor did it occur in this building (it occurred in Texas and at the building at One Pacific P...

Why are we talking about "low-income housing" here? Â I was merely providing further clarity to my previous answers about the residential rental rates for Spaghetti Works. Â It may have been a slightly tangential conversation; however, no one that contributes to the forum has been immune f...

the units above Mangelson's images are low-income (1115 Harney)

Historic Omaha

when I was reviewing past certified tax credit project recently - I came across the applications for the Spaghetti Works building.

I believe that the apartments above spaghetti works are low-income.
