I have some aerials I will get posted up soon.

Awesome, I always look forward to those, Brad.

I rarely head out this way, so haven't seen anything personally since last fall. Has there been any progress on construction? Their social media has gone silent this year.

Taco

I didn't know the mall was divided into multiple parcels. A piecemeal flip seems challenging, so I am not surprised they are backing out. I'm also not sure what the appetite is for a large mixed-use center with so many other of those projects going on. Residential might be their best bet...any hope ...

Taco

Like you said, there are many to choose from. But I think the top priority would be the lot on the south half of the block bounded by 10th, 11th, Harney and Farnam. It creates a defacto northern edge to the OM and if developed would help tie in the Cap District to the north and the Mall. Agreed. Lo...

64AVE townhomes have finished up. There has been recent dirt work at 1404 castelar, but idk if it's still the original project.

Taco

Ah good to hear, somehow I missed that.

I don't think the state approved the initial funding necessary. Regardless, we are in a whole environment when it comes to public health funding now.

Hope they do some light beers. Was in AZ last week and while they still sell the bug spray flavored IPAs like here, a number of the craft brewers are making blondes and other light lagers. Also had a delicious prickly pear wheat done in a Berliner style. Great aroma and hint of prickly pear fruit f...

I noticed on this month's planning board meeting that there is a request for approval of Bohemian Apartments at 12th and William. Can anyone pull the TIF request docs? This would the first major apartment project in Little Bohemia. See item 14. https://planning.cityofomaha.org/images/PB_Agenda_10-7...

I viewed a contractor meeting for the Highlander and Spencer Homes project. They gave a timeline of 2021 Q2 for the start of Phase III of the Highlander. Phase III adds an additional 89 units. The Spencer Homes project is planned to start 2022 Q2. What is phase III? More homes in the NW corner of t...

I am surprised we have not seen more of this with the street space taken up by outdoor dining, the old market would be a perfect fit.

If nature is your thing, you will run through/near several national parks along the way (Joshua Tree, North Rim of Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Bears Ears, Arches, Gunnison, Rocky Mounthain). These can be great detours in any amount of time and if you buy a yearly pass you will get...

2 car garages plus all that extra parking? Not very attractive

Sage capital has two other renderings for projects that I've never heard about listed on their website. One is described an 60k sqft office building just west of Aksarben, though the renderings look more like apartments. The other is a 70 unit apartment building near UNMC. Through my sleuthing I wa...

Wasn't this originally proposed with rowhouses included? Edit: it looks like the first two floors are the rowhome style units. I think it looks a lot better than the previous design (too much red): https://journalstar.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/developer-sees-need-for-more-downtown-student-hou...

Based on the rendering, it looks like the playground will be just to the east of the community building. When I was down there a couple of days ago, there was still no progress on tower construction.

Blackstone, Midtown, Dundee, Gifford Park, Leavenworth neighborhoods all seem like great options for you. Basically the area bordered by 52nd on the West, I-480 on the East, Cuming on the N, and Center on the S is the area I would start looking. Probably would be difficult to find a quality house in...

I personally am really anticipating that Keystone trail extension to Cunningham Lake, as well as Cunningham lake reopening. But I'm sure that trail is at least 5 years down the... Trail... This connection will be huge as well. The renovation of Cunningham going on right now is a good sign, but the ...

They have finally begun work on the connector from the Field club trail up Pacific to 36th. This 4 block segment is not entirely needed and has taken forever, so I guess I am excited now they will move on to more important areas. Connectivity from North downtown to Carter lake is a must, as is the t...

The $100m includes a year of operating expenses and a future endowment. It doesn't fully explain the massive difference in price tags we have seen, so maybe when Kiewit got more involved, the riverfront group decided to aim bigger than 20-30 mil.

Taco

Their website confirms that it will be a Methodist Urgent Care. Signage for Chase is also up next door. There were workers out laying artificial grass at the pop up park near HDR last week. Anyone know what the plan is there? Or for the vacant lots on either side of HDR? The vacant lots on the side...

Taco

Signage for Methodist on the first floor. Appears to be a large berth.

I heard these guys are in talks to open a location at Millwork Commons

Edit: Mods, I hadn't seen the other post in the Millwork thread. Feel free to delete. Or leave it up as a second.

Thanks for posting that compilation FirebirdEngineer. You saved us a lot of time searching way back in the life of this thread. On one hand I’m very excited this important project may be coming back to life, but on the other hand, I’m somewhat disappointed it doesn’t seem to have the WOW factor, de...

Taco

Interesting there is no longer any development planned W of 75th st

Taco

Parking was my first thought as well...this site plan has way too much of it. One positive is that the surface lots could be easily built on, but the design as a whole is very car oriented with only minimal attention given to the pedestrian. I should not be surprised given Lockwood tried to bill Ste...

Taco

I just went for a drive on 30th street and I noticed that it has been reduced from 4 lanes to 2 and a turn lane with a bike lane and parking on both sides. It is very fresh as in they might have striped it today. New asphalt as well. This was from Ames to Cuming. Are these protected lanes? The lane...

Taco

I think the concourse design is awesome. They are making good use of the hills too. Excited to see the final product.

Taco

WOW! I have hope in this development again after being a bit disappointed with its start. Hopefully some good transit can be incorporated. I thought the same thing when seeing those renderings. There is significantly more density than I remember seeing previously which helps make up for the milquet...

The apartment building getting renovated on the NE corner of Park and Pacific looks like they are doing a low-quality, cheap job. They are replacing large windows with the cheapest smaller windows they can find and it doesn't look good. Disappointing because the building was dated, but had potentia...

A pizza place has opened on the corner of 132nd and Lincoln. These buildings continue to look sharp and the first phase is mostly complete.

These appear to be finished. The white brick is striking, I am not sure if I am a fan of the courtyard style or not. Overall, I'm happy for new owner-occupied housing in our urban core.

Taco

I've noted the construction on these rowhouses has slowed. They are finishing up their current buildings and have not started the foundation of any others. Does anyone know if they are still planning to build all of their planned homes? I wonder if they are having financial difficulties, as per comm...

Taco

Yeah, I don’t agree here. I work with a lot of young brains. Only one lives in Blackstone and all the others started out west. The one who lives in Blackstone is house shopping in west Omaha. The concept of the young hip swinging singles place is not really accurate. Most young people are either to...
