Omaha Forums

It is a good looking building! I'm not sure how unique it really is (from the outside it looks like a lot of other churches). On the new apartments, that doesn't sound interesting. Apartments without a demographic yet... Unfortunately, I think this will be a hugely missed opportunity. I would have ...

Some of the apartments should come with spectacular views I would think.

I believe the chinese have solved the problem. Omaha should just get one of these!

By what measure? I guess we could let the plot sit and wait for that 100 story Creighton dorm. Come on now.

the "low information voter" of sweet treats. :lol: Now that's funny! But in my mind the doughnut takes the crown of most benighted confection. I do wonder why, though, something like a French bakery hasn't taken hold in/around the old market. Where even is the nearest one? Le Petite Paris...

Supply and demand.  If the Regency store is already drawing enough people from east of 72nd(which it is) wouldn't those people shop at a much closer store!?  I would.  In fact one might even shop there more often if it were closer where one lives. You're right, it's all about supply and demand. Ope...

Based on the comments in the Civic article it sounds like having a regular full service grocery store is not likely. They said if grocery is built downtown it would have to be a destination brand like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Somehig people would travel past other options for.         I wonder ...

I have to admit, kinda excited about this one. Maybe I missed it but have there been any renderings? I'm curious to see what this slow progress will bring!

That building previously house functions for Creighton Medical Associates prior to the Alegent Creighton merger. I think most of those have been moved to a new service center. I often park just south I that building and see a lot of people entering and exiting that building... Interesting, maybe th...

On another note, now that I think of it It says it is native to N America and esp the Central And Eastern US but you know I do not think I have ever seen one in Lincoln    :;): In Lincoln, they only look like that during the winter. When they visit the rest of the year, they look like more like thi...

It would be cool to have Whole Foods at the Civic but in the short term, a Hy-Vee or the like is what is needed DT.

Totally agreed!

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like the marketers don't have much faith in their product.

This whole little area has a lot of potential. Driving through daily makes me sigh. Hopefully good things to come!

This will be sweet, especially if my mental image is right! I wonder what "a number of years" will translate into.

Now I'm curious.

Me too, and a little concerned. To the rumor section!!!

That article is being to kind. Nobody has made any money down there yet except the contractors and the politicians who made a fortune getting that stadium built. I'm pretty sure a number of those business owners would love to sell out if anyone is crazy enough. :roll: :hammer: You must get a tremen...

because it is not "if we build it, they will come "... Omaha needs a downtown that is vibrant, well in-filled, and has entertainment for the transferring employees when they are not working. I would be extremely happy to see a tower built downtown, whether on this property or elsewhere. B...

Making consesions to height is fine to a point however this lot and the wall street lot would be missed opportunities. I fear not taking advantage of these core locals will make Omaha the Boston of the midlands. Agreed. Not looking for something Dubai-esque but something with impact is essential. S...

Excellent! This site has great potential. Here's hoping they don't squander it on some lame low-rise.

I don't usually read news article comments because it really makes me loose faith in the human race....  Good Example She may be the same person that bitched about spending $17m for a new DT Hotel, as if it is taxpayer money... My guess is that she probably doesn't pay taxes or is on wellfare. :ban...

I though the nordstroms rack talk was more for Nebraska crossing and a full store at westroads. Early on in the process Nordstrom's name was thrown around for Crossroad's as was everyone's favorite rumor, Macy's. Greg I has been my understanding that Macy's won't build in a market where there is al...

Speaking of duds and money losers, I can't think of a bigger one than that aging, dilapidated eye-sore that is Crossroads today. Its cringe worthy. Every fall many, many out-of-town college students and their parents descend upon Omaha for the first (or nearly first) time . Every freshman needs a Ta...

What would be interesting is if this became akin to Aksarben, substituting Creighton for UNO. The location is prime for CU to get itself involved somehow, even peripherally. As unrealistic as it may be, I continue to hope for a chicago-esque high-rise dorm to replace the two aging freshman facilitie...
