Not thinking this is going to amount to anything, but this is from a NHL reporter with The Athletic.

Very cool plans. I have doubts on the retail being all that successful, but don't need to be wet blanket today. Will be a very cool addition to the riverfront and all those residential/hotel rooms will certainly help make the area more lively.

I'll throw out my guess before the announcement and say it ends up on the UP land by Millwork as originally rumored.

iamjacobm

Well if this mid 50s projected temp showing up on my Apple weather app hold up for late next week it’s certainly going to feel like spring at least for a day.

There are color renderings of this in the "A Pedestrian Old Market" thread. https://eomahaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=351746#p351746 Maybe some of those posts should be migrated. also here A New Park For The Old Market? This mini park design looks to be much more ornate than I initially th...

Dallas Love Field does 3x the traffic that OMA does with 20 gates. I am sure scheduling is easier for them since it is almost all SW so the gates don't need to be set aside for other airlines, but we appear to have plenty of runway (pun intended) before gate capacity becomes an issue. I think this i...

Looks like the core jumped up again. Going to be about as tall as the library was within a few weeks I imagine.

Yeah there is a new one for 2024.

Let it Fly has a liquor license request for the Barrel and Vine building in front of city council next week so we can confirm that rumor.

Really like the look of this. Also looks like no dedicated parking in this structure, but they are going to get 120 stalls in a garage next door to the north. I would assume that would break ground fairly soon too as Millwork is building up. The Dizzy Mule project right across the street is mostly t...

TIF in front of the planning board in January. I also noticed the Manhattan's Deli is building out space just to the east in the parking garage across from city hall. Glad they found a new home. Not going to end up on any best of lists, but I went there every so often when I worked downtown for a q...

I’ll let the weather experts correct me, but my weather app looks like Christmas Day is going to be much colder than Christmas Eve and it’s calling for snow.

so that makes #6 in the Omaha metro Did someone post a second one went up at the 9 story Blackstone Building? 2 at Mutual 1 at Holland 1 or 2 in the Blackstone 1 at Central Library 1 in North Park. I noticed one the other day but it was smaller, not sure if it qualifies. It looked like one of those...

I saw on Facebook that Bluestone started boarding up the building today with Blue and White striped boards. Was getting close to the end of the year and making my prediction wrong! Fingers crossed this one actually officially changes hands by the end of the year. It sounds promising that a certain ...

Another bad clause. Renting property you own to another willing party is perfectly normal and this language prevents that. I’ll disagree on this. I like the ownership clause because it keeps ADUs as an option for individual homeowners, not the corporate landlords to make more money. I'll gladly adm...

iamjacobm

Glad they are trying to make the code easier to build ADUs, they even said there have been none built without essentially a full rezone which these new regulations will hopefully help. Still don't love this clause, but the fact that so few of these are being built anyway and it only goes up to the R...

Looks like the current owner ties back to Milts Mini Storage so I'd assume self storage will end up here.

Wonder if NFM would move out to something like this.

Genuinely curious does any city have warmers at bus stops? I could see them at some major transfer stops, but I know my bus stops in Chicago didn’t have them.

I am not familiar enough with DSM's townhome construction, but Omaha is building some of that product type. There are probably ~50 relatively recently built townhomes south of Leavenworth between 30th and 33rd. There are the ones who just finished off of Leavenworth and 55th. There are ~8 that went ...

Came across this today. Thought some here would find it interesting. Shows population density around the globe with a couple options to compare to previous densities.

New video. What exactly is the blue steel on top of the elevator shaft area btw? I'm guessing its going to hold up forms for additional concrete? This whole project has been interesting to watch because they haven't done anything like we normally see around town. I just assumed there would be a cou...

Looks like CVS still owns it.

iamjacobm

Thanks Jacob. Definitely not as unique as what was originally proposed and it looks like they added a parking lot. The last one is the T3 mass timber / hybrid mass timber building. So its slightly more unique than the rendering would suggest. Although Kiewit beat them to having the first one in Oma...

iamjacobm

The T3 rendering did have a second structure roughly where this would be. Not sure about the proposed use and not as cool as the cantilevered concept, but looks like something there is still planned. https://rivercityomaha.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/mercantile-omaha-t3-timber-building-hines-990x...

Sounds like the Nextdoor people are actually right about this one.

iamjacobm

Gretna is obviously the next Mississauga.

Seriously though I don't see a ton of demand for this type of product here like many already shared, but I am all for developers pushing the bar so I hope they can get this off the ground.

iamjacobm

Nice looking project on the site of the old coin laundry. 53 units, 44 parking stalls under the units. Same developer as the Swivel Apartments off of 72nd and Dodge.
