I think that was some of the concern, at least by a few of this on this site. The prices did to seem to be on the very high end for Omaha.

That would be good news and continue the development that started when Mutual announced plans to come back downtown. Along with the other planned residences there should be added traffic in the area. Is the food court still open? I remember going in there about 7-8 years ago when I worked downtown a...

So with that added height, it might change the ranking for these buildings in the city of Omaha. According to Wikipedia, these buildings rank 14th and 15th tallest, but with just an added 18 feet they will move to 12th. With 27 more feet, they Will move to 11th.

I had to go back and look at the renderings. Can't say that I like that wall on the first floor. Thankfully the rest is glass, and this is the back of the building, but that looks terrible.

skinzfan23

Oh I agree, definitely part of a bigger development. I feel we can at least double what Des Moines did with their Downtown Hy-vee. Hopefully way better than that...the Des Moines HyVee has announced shorter hrs and is barely living up to their end of the development agreement. They are severely lac...

I think the math should be 550 units since 150 is being built on top of the garage. That's about 800 sq/ft/unit for the units in the towers. Heistand said $900 starting, up to $1500 for one beds. Ah yeah, you're right. $900 wouldn't be bad at all. $1,500 definitely getting up there. He did mention ...

What was the number the mayor threw out regarding development since the streetcar was announced? Something over $1 Billion, the original estimates stated that over a 15 year period it would be somewhere near $2 billion, so we are well onto our way to that figure. I am assuming they are counting, the...

I was just mentioning that to my wife, once you get some decent rain, it always helps the air quality some and of course seems less dusty as well. Been awhile since we knew this feeling.

skinzfan23

Also wonder if this will entail any beautifying of 16th st there as well?

skinzfan23

Were any renderings shared? Or will be building basically look the same? From Cindy Gonzalez on Twitter: https://i.postimg.cc/LJNmm1xz/IMG-7173.jpg Thanks for posting that....from the rendering you can tell that they are going to add a penthouse level to the existing towers and then even the garage...

Good growth, hopefully these next few years can really take off with all the positive things that the City of Omaha has done to enhance the area in which we live (downtown parks, steelhouse, new library, mutual HQ, CPP and of course the streetcar) I always mention Cedar Rapids, IA b/c my wife is fro...

Still pretty impressive that they will add over 700 units. And the city is building a parking garage on the west side of the block and NuStyle will build apts on top of that.

I looked at 8 this morning and only had .10" but just looked now and its already over .30". I just put fertilizer down last night....sure the grass is really going to green up now.

skinzfan23

Hopefully the 11th and Harney development is it. If not, maybe the facility for the police and fire headquarters. If it’s 11th and Harney, please let it be at least 10 stories tall.

The zoo just announced that they swept all 3 categories that they were nominated for in the Reader's Choice awards:

Best Zoo
Best Exhibit
Best Safari Park

That is amazing once again.

I don't follow this stuff real closely, but why would he leave NU after working so hard to get there from UNO?

skinzfan23

Still sucks for them to miss out on the March Madness crowd, that is going to be next week and they are going to open in 2-3 weeks at the earliest.

TOURNAMENT TIME

Nice short article by Trey on what Creighton basketball and the Omaha community mean to him.

I would be embarrassed if this was proposed here.

I mean, that is kinda what I was thinking as well. It would be like living in a Celebrity homes neighborhood and building a $5 Million home next door. Its just out of place.

skinzfan23

I still think if we had this on the table here or in CB, it'd be a different story. I don't think anybodys pointing and laughing at OKC if this actually happens. I say good for them, swing for the fences. I and most on here love taller buildings, but this thing is out of place. Obviously, if the ma...

skinzfan23

I had no idea that Eppley is about 15% busier than OKC's airport.

skinzfan23

Still think this is a pretty stupid idea and will look out of place.

skinzfan23

They posted online that they are replacing the system by the pedestrian bridge (their busiest) looks like it will have 15 bikes there for just that one station.

skinzfan23

Not sure what their highest ranking in the Coaches poll is, but they are up to #6

skinzfan23

Jays moved up 2 more spots in AP...thought there was a chance they could go higher with IA St, Tenn and Arizona all losing.

#8 is where they are now.

skinzfan23

Kalkbrenner won his 3rd Big East Defensive player of the year today. Only Alonzo Mourning (3) and Patrick Ewing (4) have as many!!!

skinzfan23

They are closing, but keeping the space for office space so they can fulfill their lease. But the retail store is definitely closing.

skinzfan23

where was the ralston location at?

I saw that too, wonder what they are doing there next

skinzfan23

I agree they should be a 2 seed, especially if they make it that far in big east. No doubt a 3 seed at the worst.

skinzfan23

Don’t really think they let up but early on all the shots were 3’s and they were falling. Then they stopped hitting. It’s like fools gold. Thankfully they got the ball inside to Kalk some later.

skinzfan23

Game never should have been this close, but Trey hits the game winner with .2 seconds left, Jay won 69–67!!

Locked up the two seed in the big east tournament

skinzfan23

You can actually see the new beam they placed in the KETV skycam:

skinzfan23

What a first half, Jays were up 32-8 at one point , of course nova went on a run but the jays are up 40-29 at half.

skinzfan23

Yes, I always wonder, with people having more breathing complications, is this really worth it? It doesn't affect me so much, but there are some days, people with air sensitivity issues are really struggling.

skinzfan23

That info from Creighton doesn't specify an extension date, but I have heard 5 years, since Mac will be 65 then and set to retire possibly.

He is going to be one of the highest paid coaches in the Big East and Top 20 in the country.

skinzfan23

Rumors are that Creighton and Mac agreed to a 5 year extension and are set to announce it later this morning.

skinzfan23

Those are some huge beams. I know this isn't scheduled to be completed until 2025 but I wonder if some of the glass will be going in already this summer.

Des Moines just announced that they are closing the last remaining Kum and Go (in downtown Des Moines) in the urban setting with no pumps. Sounds like theirs didn't do well either.
