Yeah those aren’t comparable at all. Ones a suburban office with bushes thrown into it and the other is a thought out design with trees and other vegetation. This kind of design is very in right now with many new skyscrapers weaving nature into buildings. The new rendering looks a lot more unique th...

So council bluffs is settling for the Baxter plan, 7 stories for the tower site. Disappointed but I get it. It's about 200 apartments, so it's sa good number of units added to the riverfront. Public discussion is scheduled for the 24th. Lots b, d, and e will be developed by Broadmoor, townhome styl...

Seems like a prime spot for some indoor storage units

Nebraska got lucky not having the interstate on our side. I-29 completely cut off Council Bluffs and ruined their chances of a thriving core across from Omaha. It also does not bring much business along its route, Iowa along I-29 is a wasteland.

It looks like Pink is going to play at the baseball stadium this summer, when was the last concert there? Seems like most big acts only tour stadiums anymore so maybe Omaha will get more concerts there.

Or maybe don’t look in peoples windows? We’ve all seen naked people before if someone wants to drink a beer butt |expletive| naked in their condo that’s their life.

I’m hoping the Steelhouse draws more smaller acts who usually skip us for KC. Knowing Nebraska they’ll use it to livestream the 3 night Kenny Chesney concert at CHI.

Well that's good to know. Must just be my neighborhood. I had maybe 25-30. Silver lining is I now have a half a bag of candy to myself now. My childhood neighborhood is in a similar situation at the moment out in Millard. Neighborhoods just go through phases I suppose, from being full of younger ki...

I think this is more a rumor topic unless you know something we don’t. I wouldn’t expect a UP site announcement until steel is up at the library. I think the next big announcements will be the Heartland Park hotel and possible residential tower. I don’t think we’ll get those till the spring at the e...

Cold Stone probably just doesn’t wanna clean the bathrooms there’s no way in heck you could do thousands in damage to a bathroom without a sledgehammer Wasn't there some TikTok trend a couple of years ago of kids trashing bathrooms? Things like ripping mirrors, paper towel dispensers, and toilet pa...

Yeah I doubt they’re going to tear down 2 towers because a view of a park was blocked. We still have lots of empty lots downtown the only way these would be torn down is if Omaha gets some massive boom in population or downtown revival. I think these will last a long time, the DoubleTree would be to...

I really don't care for the parking garage portion of it. I like the rest, but the parking garage detracts from the rest. I hope they sacrifice a few parking spots in order to round the facades some in order to make it look more part of the overall building. I enjoy how phallic the parking garage m...

I’m just so happy it’s finally going to be gone. Even as a kid I absolutely hated how it looked (no hate to people who like it I can see why it’s also liked)

Please correct me if I’m wrong but is the street car not going in a similar path as the bike lane was? It says Market to Midtown (I assume the Old Market) so how would trading a bike lane for a streetcar going the same direction be a bad thing? I could also be wrong about the path. The city really n...

I just saw this over on Reddit. In my mind, good for them if they can do this. But it shows a few glaring issues with modern American cities. A single 30 story apartment, taking most of a block, surrounded by SFH and low rise buildings. Still a win, being on their streetcar (ours can't come soon en...

They really couldn’t plan this before they built the expansion

I drove by the 800k sf Dollar General warehouse. The city also extended 10th Street to connect directly to highway 75, just on the south edge of town. https://i.postimg.cc/R6MzV496/75-AA1-FCA-A98-E-4032-ABBF-CCE70-A24-E7-C8.jpg I am assuming based on the final destination that highway 75 won't be t...

What did the original rendering of First National look like? I’m just curious how much renderings for towers can change.

PotatoeEatsFish

At this point, we should just build a 40-story tall parking garage to kill 2 birds with one stone. This city is obsessed with building parking garages and we always want new highrises, it's a win-win. I'll email the mayor from my fake development company with $5 in bitcoin attached as a bribe to get...

I’m excited for Roja coming back downtown. I hate when restaurants move to West O and get rid of their downtown location.

This project seems like such an underutilization of space/property now that the park is done... Yeah I’d much rather have it be an empty parking lot.

Grow Omaha update says several more buildings are in the works for the Mercantile development including a 200-300 room hotel on 10th and Harney (grassy area to the north of Embassy Suites) a condo tower and more apartments. This is going to be so good downtown and the Old Market/ Someone said a cou...

I wonder if this project cost includes some operating costs like the Luminarium does? Additionally, since this will have classroom, performance and work space, I am sure there is a lot going into acoustics, furniture, lighting, and other technology. I think the building will look sharp along the GL...

Finally got to walk the park this weekend. Epic. Awesome. Fantastic. Game changer. Now comes the really hard work. Keep it clean. Keep it safe. Activate. Entertain. There is a very solid future for downtown and the Old Market. I hope to enjoy for years to come. I had a friend go at night who said t...

Overall this district didn’t turn out to the vision some of us had. If you’ve ever been in the apartments they stay loud the entire night which is understandable with the bars underneath. Along with this the crime the bar has attracted seems pretty odd. I’m not sure why the bars in this area have a ...

I can assure you most other young people I know living downtown anymore are Creighton kids/daddy’s money 20 something’s.

PotatoeEatsFish

Agreed. The wild half stories people have told me about around Omaha is always interesting. Add in the conjecture on top of it and I get gems similar to "Mutual is tearing down the libraries to build a new empty headquarters with no parking, so they can move to Chicago and leave Omaha tax paye...

I had lunch with a friend yesterday, who is also my execute source at Mutual- he indicated he saw a new model of the downtown skyline with the latest addition- The Mutual of Omaha tower..It showed the tower as being taller than the First National- by what looks to be about 75 feet- which would put ...

Maybe they should pay more? Crazy idea so what do they pay? Based off most pools in the area minimum or barely above it. I’m really sick of so many businesses complaining about not getting workers when they’re paying less than $10. I understand it’s a ridiculous cost to employers but if you’re goin...

Kinda interesting how history repeats itself

The design ties into the crossroads redevelopment really well. I also agree a pedestrian bridge is 100% needed here. Hopefully we can get 4 around that intersection but atleast one across dodge would help a lot.

The former residential development layout had 17 luxury condo units where the long portion of the Dizzy Mule building is now proposed. I do not see that the condo element has been moved elsewhere. I take it that the condos are no longer planned. https://i.postimg.cc/jntg8cjd/Millwork-Commons-Reside...

I’m only 21 but I will say she’s been an amazing mayor in all aspects especially in driving development. I’d say the past 7 years downtown has really become alive like never before. I remember even in my lifetime Blackstone being a rundown area no one would ever dream of being an entertainment and r...

Why not just make the tower taller? It seems more expensive to build a whole new tower instead of just consolidating it.

God what a lame proposal. I hate when developers absolutely ignore what cities are asking for on lots. They really thought the city would just accept their boring suburban idea out of desperation. Curious if other developers are also eyeing the lot right now.

I like the accents of red and orange in the park, it’ll make the weird lights actually fit in
