Of note the Sears parcel and the parcel with the Guitar Center are both for sale as well. That’s a lot of property to take down, but probably never been a better chance to lock down that much land here at one time if someone wanted to.

Oak Investment owns that property. I think someone posted a few months ago that lot was destined for apartments.

I’m sure they want to open sooner than it would be available, but a tenant like this would be great at the new crossroads.

Apparently, we didn't have a thread for this place? I couldn't find it.

Anyway, heard it's closing this week and that Let It Fly will take the space.

Won't be at this scale b/c the traffic on the Beltline in ATL is dramatically higher than any trail in Omaha, but there are some really cool projects around that trail where the retail opens up to the bike path instead of the street or parking lot. Again we aren't going to fill a ton of suites here ...

I think it makes a lot of sense for the buildings to be the same height from an operations perspective.

Bummer to me is it looks like that cap over Saddle Creek was a short lived idea.

Apparently, the developer sold this already. I didn't think they were a merchant builder, but this has obviously been a long ordeal, maybe that influenced the decision. With construction wrapping up, they have their construction loan that will need to be refinanced to a permanent. With rates the wa...

Fingers crossed this one actually officially changes hands by the end of the year. It sounds promising that a certain color/rock named developer in town gets their hands on it.

There was the threat, if you want to call it that, if CVS didn't get to build here they wouldn't move forward with the one on 72nd and Maple which obviously never actually happened.

I must not have looked at those planning docs that closely. 250 is a lot of units. 13th is obviously going to have more commercial action, but there are going to be a lot more people on 10th to help with some of the retail in that area too.

Heard First National sold this building. Don’t know too who. I also don’t think FNBO had all that much space in the building.

Heard Voodoo Taco taking the retail space.

The outside stage is ready to go apparently. A show there tonight.

They are going to be in the Dry Spokes space it looks like. Dry Spokes doesn’t open till 5 so will be nice to have some day time use.

Clayton is well located. The neighborhoods around it are basically Dundee along with Wash U in the area. Not far from Forest Park either. Main driver though is a local government that is comparatively more friendly toward business interests than STL proper. Also it’s the county seat so lots of govt ...

I actually think Omaha has had a pretty good amount of recent apartments w/ retail in what would be considered urban areas. Much of what is currently being built in Millwork, the Brickline, the apartments that should be getting going soon by the Flatiorn, the apartments going up in Blackstone, the S...

Could of swore OPPD was going to sell their land here, but can't seem to find evidence.

Obviously not the same as a historic rehab, but moving quick on the new proposal. 39 units, 28 parking stalls. Looks like they are building to the lot lines. Flora Phonex Apartments. Going for the rising from the ashes thing I guess. https://planning.cityofomaha.org/images/PDFs/PlanningBoardApp/2023...

iamjacobm

Heard they are going to open a location in Aksarben Village.

iamjacobm

A tenant in a different building in the area is likely taking a decent amount of this building.

Interesting there are liquor license requests before the city council next week for UNO. The one for Canagilia Field makes sense as they sell alcohol at other athletic venues, but one for the student union is a bit puzzling. When I was in high school I toured Regis Uni in Denver (a very small priva...

I would be pro a developer getting a hold of this and every other building over to Pepper Jax and scraping them for something way better on the site.

That Oak group controls a lot of property in this area along Leavenworth.

That is where that T3 mass timber office building is supposed to go if I have my bearings right.

I think they bought the building from Leavenworth Cafe family. Together Inc. is the owner of record according to Douglas County GIS.

It’s for sale

Yes the old coolgreens spot and the new building at 3863 Farnam both have Leased signs with construction going. Anybody know anything? One of the new leased spots at the new building at 3863 Farnam is going to be a Gourmet Toast cafe - I don't know the name of it yet. Yes, you heard that right. Gou...

CHPD who also recently bought the Angelim building adjacent to this bought this last month.

Money is allocated for a number of bridges in the CIP including I think all of them over 480. As for sidewalks they generally get done with development. Not always as evidenced be the very nice streetscape this did on the south end of the Old Market. Probably likely to continue to be more ad hoc, bu...

I am not the biggest fan of Lolla's lineup this year, but it's certainly not comparable to Maha or Outlandia... The above schedule is just one of the 4 days and The 1975 and Kendrick are huge acts. They would both play at CHI if they came to town. It's pretty clear they are leaning more into the edm...

Trader Joe's is unlikely at the Civic Site. They apparently require a pretty high median income for the surrounding neighborhood, about $100,000 if I understand correctly. I don't believe downtown is there yet. The Traders Joes in Omaha is always pretty crowded. Seldom do I go there and it's empty....

Looks like a crew had been taking core samples in the street on Farnam in Midtown/Blackstone this week. Assume it’s for the streetcar engineering work. Ignorant question here, but if the tracks are going to be laid on top of the street, why would they need to take core samples? I am no engineer, bu...

Does anyone have insight on the progress for the streetcar line? It seems like there's an awful lot of work that should have been happening if they plan on opening in 2 and a half years.... They are finalizing the design still. Start construction summer of 2024. Open winter of 2026 The timeline is ...

I am pretty sure the shop space on the Farnam side are all live/work space so will be interesting to see what type of shooed go in those suites.

Well it turns out that Payne did not end up directing The Menu, would have been a very different movie. The actress Anya Taylor Joy ended up in Emma Stone's role and she was from Grand Island in the movie. Payne does have a new movie coming out. If you look closely at the beginning of the trailer on...
