The Omaha entity is one partnership. SPW is South Port West. G&S and CBRE Mega are all involved in that development so it makes sense.

No. One way streets are significantly more pedestrian friendly.

There are a lot of urbanites that would strongly disagree with that. Jeff speck is the main one that comes to mind.

Not to add to the disappointment, but I'm told they're moving the main enterance to the south of the building i.e. the parking lot.

Isn't that where they currently are? I can't envision an open site over there to do it on...

Applied has sawarded office construction to MCL. It's happening. Breaks ground when construction season starts. We can end this silly aside.

OmahaJaysCU

I'm going to assume they need a corporate anchor before breaking ground as well...

So far I have heard the short list that includes
Dana Altman
Fred Hoiberg (born in Lincoln)
Gregg Marshall

Candidates or unrealistic wishlists?

Just thought of this, what if they're waiting because it will be part of a larger story about terminal expansion?

Did the direct service to Austin on Frontier go away?

From what I hear Sterling Ridge and West Farms were the two top choices by a long ways. Their employees live out west and it did not make sense to make them go downtown. Since about November it sounded like Sterling Ridge was going to be the choice. Honestly in 2019 what company can't say most of t...

Sorry I meant 168th between Maple/Dodge

OmahaJaysCU

Wow I thought they were doing 1 year complete closure like 180th...

Wrap up in 2021 just in time to start 180th. I'm glad we're finally fixing the N-S infrastructure in Northwest Omaha.

I'm sure I've said this in the 20 some pages of this thread going back to pry 2009...but I've always envisioned a brand new Nebraska Furniture Mart Retail store along with as their office HQ on the Crossroads site.

I can confirm this is google as we'll.

I was told this will become office for an architecture firm. They will reuse/redesign the existing structure. Apparently the hotel deal that would have involved a demo/rebuild of the whole block fell through.

OmahaJaysCU

Is that healthy for a city? Serious question. We as a community need to start thinking about these things. It isn't. Not at this level. Having secondary business centers around the city is generally fine so long as the central business district remains central. Omaha's isn't really that central. Om...

OmahaJaysCU

This is a great project, but damn this is just going to kill downtown and midtown. Why would you go downtown as a large office user when you can please half your employees by being out west and the other half with all the amenities. We need to talk more about as a city about how responsible Noddle C...

There is a rumor circulating that another technology company is in talks on the Ashton Building. They are in the market currently and expanding. Did not disclose a name.

Would be really cool if this neighborhood developed into a technology district.

I might be misremembering, but I recall that it came out in the OWH multi story piece on Ralston Arena that the consultant they hired told them not to build it....

OmahaJaysCU

Didn't they just build Dodge and Cuming?

OmahaJaysCU

I don't know why everyone is assuming I'm unaware of who is paying for it. My point is that if you read things like OWH comments, Forgotten Omaha, Facebook comments on news stories, etc. there is a significant portion of the population that is adamantly against blending of architectural styles. Anyt...

OmahaJaysCU

I'm really dreading the typical Omaha public backlash if they go with a modern addition. I want them to do something bold so badly but the Forgotten Omaha's of the world will flip over city leaders ruining history if they do...

OmahaJaysCU

Should this get a new thread name or split up? Based on the paper this area seems to be divided into two districts, New North Makerhood (PKF) and Millwork District (Black Dog Development).

Confusing, you would think these two parties would work together on a brand...

Heard the lot along dodge and the lot west of the big parking garage will be the site of the new HQ. 8 stories (sorry guys)

OmahaJaysCU

Not sure if this isn't the right spot for this, but there is a rumor that the Con Agra redevelopment in downtown will include a Flagship Commons. It will overlook/interact with the newly designed park. Would be huge for downtown...

I was told Kiewit will be 8 stories fwiw

Former DLR building? Complete speculation on my part as it is still available.

Baby bob, Gene Lahey Mall renos, Heartland of America park renos, Omaha riverfront renos, misc CB riverfront improvements.

There is a Urban Land Institute study from a few years ago that a lot of this is based off of.

Don't want to sound like grandpa smucker, but that real estate transaction REAKS. I smell several lies. Their involvement is incredibly suspect.

Guys seriously. I told you months ago. And multiple times. That wasn't an opinion.

OmahaJaysCU

They weren't the civic user. It was FDR like I've said multiple times, yet people still don't believe me. That wasn't speculation, that was fact. Mutual hasn't for one considered leaving midtown. They have Ryan Companies out of Minneapolis lined up to develop MTC East. Other developers have inquired...

So should she bend over and let companies have their way with the city? Legitimate question.
