This is misfortunate a project like this means they are going to piecemeal a new VA hospital. Don’t get me wrong it’s over due and I’m glad something is underway but an entirely new clinic from ground up would have been a better long term option. Thanks Denver. Maybe there's a misunderstanding abou...

One small, but nice addition to the north terminal that I noticed last week when flying back - Many people bemoan the lack of food options at Eppley within security, but they just added a fridge stocked with Eat Fit Go meals. While not a full dining option, at least its something...

I'm trying to get a mental frame of reference for 165-185k sqft of office space. What buildings in town are of comparable size? I know this is smaller scale than HDR or any of the big guys downtown, but how much?

Ben

Anyone else catch that this is the 2nd set of apartments with "Atlas" in the name being developed here in town? Would have thought this would have come out in their due diligence, before settling on a name....

Does that mean we should see the parking structure start rising here shortly?

Facebook pages says thats all folks has a link to boyz to men you tube video. Website also down I noticed last week that Bruno had a new executive chef. Given that they guy from Ugly Duck was running it previously, I wondered to myself what was going on... Here's our answer. Guess something must ha...

Not to mention unless we go full libertarian road infrastructure is generally a public function. Are we going to start having votes about street widening or repairs? Transfer ownership of the roads to a private corp and have them charge usage fees? There are many parts of the country that have toll...

Just got home and most of it is gone now. You'd think they would have known this wasn't going to work. I heard the real reason is that the top of the parking garage they had it on was uneven. Not suitable for skating. Greg That would make sense. The whole demand thing sounded like a BS excuse. Yeah...

I went to the neighborhood meeting hosted by NP Dodge last night. This development will be called Arbor Woods. A site plan and couple of renderings are available on their new website, http://www.arborwoodsomaha.com . Here's the basics: 37 single family home lots. 2 different sizes/price points. Star...

Its nice infill, but wow, those apartments off the back are awfully close to that elevated interstate. Even with amazing insulation that's got to be loud...

A chiropractor is taking the bay between Zounds Hearing Aids and Long Dog Fat Cat. Build out is in process now.

Ben

That would be awful if Grey Plume were to close. Clayton is one of Omaha's most celebrated chefs... Are you sure its the restaurant, and not just the "Provisions" shop?

Ben

So, pure speculation here, but wouldn't the children's museum make a perfect size lot for a grocery?

I'd love to see the children's museum, along with some sort of science museum down on the riverfront....

Have they announced timing on any of the restaurant/entertainment/retail opening yet?

Or official tenant announcements? I know we've gotten a couple of names/themes from people (apartment leasing folks, etc), but nothing official, right?

Patricks Market is closing at the end of this year. The space is already being advertised for a lease. I was told that the rent is increasing too fast, but they still don´t know about their future, if they are going somewhere else in the DT or what is going to happen. That stinks. When I lived down...

Just returned from a trip out of town last week, and Eppley is going to have some big time problems come the holidays, and peak travel season hits.... With the north garage (rental cars) currently under reconstruction, there's a huge limit on available parking, as the temporary rental car spot takes...

The new home — about 60,000 square feet on two floors of 808 Conagra Drive — allows for future growth of the Sherwood Foundation, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation (named after Susie’s late mother) and the Buffett Early Childhood Fund. The collective team of about 60 employees is expected to re...

Hotel Deco has remodeled this space as an events room for weddings / meetings, etc. Picture on their FB page.

Moving the library sounds like a great idea, in theory, but before the city and Tetrad propose doing it, you'd think they'd consult the library board, right? Yeah, not so much. Apparently the first time several people on the board saw this plan was when it was on the news.... Reporters called a frie...

This second location surprises me. I live right by the meat market in Omaha, and when I'm in there, there are never more than 2-3 other shoppers, no matter what time of day it is. Hard to see how they're paying the bills with such low volume...

Ben

Drove by the other day, and saw signage for the previously mentioned burger joint, Charred, that went into this strip mall. Anyone know if its open yet? If so, any good?

Ben

I can't seem to find the article, but one of the local news stations did a story about the Marriott doing a jobs fair to hire a bunch of staff. The GM was quoted as saying they're on track for a "June or July" opening. To me, this is implying that they're trying to lower expectations that ...

Ben

Purely speculation, but I wonder if one of the local craft breweries (NBC, Lucky Bucket, etc) will take over this lease, and use the place as a tap room/supplemental brewery. Lots of space, but convenient if you don't have to purchase brewing equipment.

Sears has 'substantial doubt' that it can survive Sears Holdings is not even sure it can raise enough cash through loans and debt financing to survive. The company owes $4.2 billion, up from about $3 billion a year ago. It lost $2.2 billion in the fiscal year ending in January and has not turned an...

Is Creighton enrollment going up, and I didn't hear anything about it? This now seems like tons of new apartments to absorb, between this project and CUMC, that's what, like 750 or so new units, right? In the last 5-10 years, Creighton build a bunch of on campus dorms/apartments, plus I'm sure some ...

Per the capitol district FB page, the terrazzo flooring is in the hotel lobby, and in the rooms, hardwood and shower tiling is progressing nicely. Some nice pics on there.

Went to the LOCAL opening last night. So much for a "soft" open with these days of FB invites, there was a line out the door practically the entire night. The place will do well, and has much of the "vibe" of the downtown location, without being to urban for Millardites. Not near...

In reference to the two hospital questions above: Boystown: Maintaining their presence in the Landing development. This includes some of their surgery suites, doctors offices, and speech/hearing research facilities. They may even try and open a "quick care" for adults to attempt to be a go...

Local soft opening on Monday the 20th. All food 50% off.

A surveyor was on the empty lot owned by Slosburg on the NW corner of the intersection earlier today. I wonder if something is in the works? Not real high hopes, given that their space across the street is barely half full, but hopeful we'll see something sooner rather than later.

Ben

Blast that's where I go! At least there's one in Dundee still. Or you can go to the shiny new facility on 24th and Cuming... Seriously though, that new building was designed to be patient first. Lots of the same concepts as Think. Specialists available for pull in (not another appointment); one sto...

This is purely a new large clinic building to supplement the existing services in the current hospital. Essentially, they're going to move outpatient services to this new building... Moving these items to a different building will allow for easier patient access to services, consolidate things (seve...

Casual Pint grand opening annonuced as Fri Dec 9, 4PM, per their FB.... Prizes for first 50 in the door, as well as trivia for additional prizes (including grand price - a growler a week for a year). Yeah, I'll be there.

Ben

The signs are up on the building for both Casual Pint and Also Timber. Timber still has construction lights up, but it looked like tables and chairs are in, curtains are up, and art on the walls. Timber's FB page says "Finishing touches this week", so I'd assume they're opening next weeke...

If you read the press release, they're very careful to say the slide will be taken off the stair tower. I would assume another slide of similar size will take its place shortly after that one is taken down...

Wouldn't it be the other way around? CHI is a much larger organisation than Dignity Health CHI has been bleeding money slowly. Like the article stated, Nebraska and Iowa are one of their only profitable markets, and the row with BCBS only hurt them more. They are ripe for acquisition. Word within C...

They posted earlier this week about construction being done, and just waiting on inspections before opening. Not sure if they have finalized those or not.
