I just moved to Omaha for the first time less than a week ago and seeing the fireworks from my backyard over the skyline was amazing

No one in America is worried about if Omaha or KC have better skylines

A video about it went viral on Tiktok so it’ll just get busier

Aksarben village looks good but Midtown Crossing and Blackstone look and feel more polished and more pedestrian friendly with intentionally narrow streets I feel like the streets of Aksarben are a bit wider, and Aksarben still feels like its being filled in. As dense as Aksarben becomes it has the ...

White Lotus needs to get their |expletive| together before they announce stuff

I saw this when I was in Lincoln yesterday. Glad Lincoln is getting some new highrise buildings . The skyline has changed more in the past 2 years than it had 20 years before that. Great to see the states 2nd largest city add to its skyline. Is there examples of cities the size of Lincoln putting u...

Is the tower going on top of the building or next to it?

PotatoeEatsFish

They might as well throw in the Jeddah Tower in the next article

PotatoeEatsFish

Yeah I think people will be shocked by the amount of projects coming after they start the streetcar. Look at Kansas City they really didn’t have many residential towers now they have what like 5 City Light residential towers now?

I said years ago we should put the Children’s Museum on the riverfront and we got a zoomer version of it

We just need to fill in a couple more parking lots and 10th street will be one of the most dense areas of Omaha

PotatoeEatsFish

Hopefully they work on traffic flow on Highway 30 then. That road is way too busy and carries pretty much the whole town.

Any updates on this?

The high rise craze continues in DTL. Owners of Gold's property are considering building up to a 20 story mixed use building on the site of the south part of the building. https://www.1011now.com/2023/03/14/golds-building-demolition-adds-downtown-development/ Well that is certainly better than a su...

My life would drastically improve if we got an IKEA.
I’ve always hated NFM because we probably would’ve gotten an IKEA by now without them.
(This is all personal preference, I mean no disrespect to any NFM workers they’re all amazing)

Even after all this I still feel like a prominent nearly all residential tower has to be in the cards somewhere!? I mean we can’t be one upped by Des Moines’ revival of theirs… Agreed. All this trolling aside, I do believe downtown Omaha will have a new residential tower in the not-too-distant futu...

PotatoeEatsFish

Lincoln is and has been going vertical all over downtown yet Omaha with the exception of Mutual can't get so much as a step ladder hoisted. Outstanding. I’m really confused by this too. It seems like all the Lincoln projects are residential towers. Yet Omaha hasn’t built one since the riverfront on...

Rumor alert: 100 story mixed use skyscraper going on this location. Very reliable source (my imagination).

PotatoeEatsFish

Another idea is perhaps they decided to go "mass timber" instead of the usual iron for skyscrapers. Man, that would more than double the current tallest mass timber building. Also, I shudder to think what marketing slogans Omaha / Nebraska would come up with in response to that. "Hom...

These Air BnB shells are the Frankenstein’s monster of gentrifying. I’m not sure why so many millennials still support |expletive| like this. Normal people can’t afford to get an apartment but let’s build a bunch of units the Berkshire oldies can use once a year!

Have they already started redoing the terminal? I remember they announced it with the parking garage yet I haven't flown in years.

I've been listening to these while working on my graphic design projects for college. Keep up the great work Brad I've learned a lot!

PotatoeEatsFish

That bridge is really cool I don't think I've ever seen a design like that outside of Florence. I wish Omaha could do something like that with the folding bridge but we need to get those 5 barges to Sioux CIity in the Spring.

So you're saying the next skyscraper in Nebraska will be a meat plant in Fremont?

I think Omaha has to prove that it can fill a 10k stadium for soccer before they spend that kind of money on a third-level team. Maybe I missed it, but has anyone floated the idea of co-sharing Morrison Field with Creighton with the promise that it would expand the seating on Union's dime? I'd like...

PotatoeEatsFish

Yeah I’m not hearing arguments that Omaha doesn’t need this. Many areas our size have stadiums like this while still having other professional teams. SLC has a NBA, NHL, and an MLS team. If SLC can have all those Omaha can support 1 major league team in a 10k stadium. Meanwhile if they were wasting ...

Nothing other than "I can't tell you but its super exciting" when Grow Omaha broadcasted live from Midtown a few months ago.

A new strip club then?

PotatoeEatsFish

I worked with an MLS team in Salt Lake City in the fall. Omaha is a perfect market for MLS and the stadium is pretty standard for these teams. Having an MLS stadium you can take a streetcar to from your apartment will definitely help keep younger people here.

I’m glad we’re getting a piece of native history in the park. I wish there was more Native American art worked into new projects, I feel like Omaha really just forgot where the name comes from.

Nebraska desperately fighting progress in our only major city is fitting. I really wonder where we get so many brain dead idiots scared of any change. Do we get them all from Tekamah?

Slightly off-topic, those are interesting reflections of a couple taller buildings in the MoO tower's glass, presumably located physically behind Brad , I mean the anonymous photographer. Not that anyone on this board, myself included, would ever think those may be indications of yet-to-be-announce...

I don’t understand how someone on this forum doesn’t enjoy looking at cities from up high. That’s like crack for half of us here.

PotatoeEatsFish

I hope we can get some parking garages on some of the further west stops on the streetcar. It would allow people to park then travel through Blackstone/The Old Market all in one line and still get to their car. It could really solve a lot of traffic issues in Blackstone and the Old Market.
