Very interesting that some of these buildings have been able to generate a substantial income relative to the cost of their observation decks. Also, love the idea of incorporating design ideas with the HD Zoo. Just pure speculation here but I am guessing a large part of the reason Top of the World w...

Probably just pipe dreaming out loud about the whole top floor restaurant thing. Never been to Chick-Fil-A at their current site. Not really sure how Mutual feels about having the general public in their property either. Maybe it's like trying to score a chicken sandwich at Fort Knox. In any case th...

How tall do you all think this new skyscraper should be?… Hopefully 50 stories or at least the tallest in Omaha. It is afterall at the most prestigous address downtown if not the entire city. One thing I would be curious about is how many people think there is the possibility Mutual would build a r...

I mean, I'm so Omaha when I drink beer it goes in as Heineken and comes out as Falstaff.

I'm so Omaha I didn't stop apologizing until the Qwest Center was built.

Just going back and reviewing the renderings in this thread. I really loved the design of this building from the outset and the more I look at it the more I appreciate some of the details. One of the coolest things is the latice work that rounds out the top. If you notice around the top corners ther...

omahahawk

Yep....turned out to be new player announcements, nothing about a new stadium.

omahahawk

I am personally OK with the delayed deadline. This is too important not to get done right.

Sorry, it may be and odd or ignorant question here but how is this thing going to turn around at CHI center. It looks like the end of the line down at 10th and Cass. Would it just switch direction on the same track or how would this work?

omahahawk

Utterly elegant and exceeded my expectations. Reminiscent of the Salesforce building in San Francisco.

omahahawk

Such a great score for the Old Market. Moxy hotels are really cool and hopefully having one here will finally be a catalyst for some more permanent development in the building directly across the street to the west. It has always been such a great space.

In the pantheon of Omaha born entertainers you may know about Marlon, Henry, Nick, and Fred...but do you know about Fee? That's right, John a.k.a "Fee" Waybill, best known for being lead singer of the very popular early 80s band The Tubes is an Omaha original as well. If you are of a certa...

Yes, the entire museum will be closed while the majority of work is being done on the new building. Wasn't really aware of any specific plans to renovate the current buildings. Wonder what that means exactly?

omahahawk

Thank you all who made this possible.

omahahawk

Thanks. What would also be really cool would be to cross promote deals and specials with Creighton at each other's games.

As a side note, Millworks would be a natural location for any team that calls itself "Union Omaha" considering the area's early 20th century past. Increased marketing efforts at the airport would be a good thing for travelers coming in, especially when they would be driving right past thei...

Yep, only question now is how long the bridge will be dark. Considering the cost of damage I'm thinking the "forseable future" could be 6 - 12 months or possibly until the completion of Lewis and Clark portion of redevelopment. Just hope they can make things a little more vandalism proof s...

omahahawk

I am not even a soccer fan but one thing I can tell you is that I would be much more inclined to go to games in the Millworks location. Don't even live east of 72nd anymore but DT and Midtown are still where I prefer to spend the majority of my free time. Seeing the team play in this type of locatio...

omahahawk

Yes, this is sad. I agree, I can't help but think of the promised security around all the new features downtown, hopefully they do it, otherwise the features there will probably get damaged as well. Hopefully one of the big organizations in Omaha can step up and fund the bridge light repairs. (I th...

As a result, the programmable LED lights on the upper portion of the bridge will be off for the foreseeable future, the ...

Yeah, I've been hoping for further work on the Japanese garden for years too. Hopefully, this will help to that end somehow if they are able to better grow and sustain more plants.

omahahawk

Thanks for the sharing the videos. If only it comes together this well.

omahahawk

Both moves feel like temporary ones to me. They want the current space for development ASAP and there probably wasn’t a way to get 72nd and Dodge done in time to fit the timeline. Just my gut feeling. Hasty timelines can sometimes lead to bigger mistakes. True, but haven't we all kind of bemoaned s...

I apologize in advance here but I have not really had a lot of time in the last couple of days to fully digest all the recent news on the library situation. If anyone can provide a little more clarity it would be much appreciated. Here are the main take aways as I understand them. Downtown is keepin...

One view I think that we have neglected and one that would be impacted pretty dramatically is the view from 90th and Dodge looking East. A new 50 + story building DT would make a significantly different view from this vantage replacing FNBO as the tallest. However, any talk on this stuff is clearly ...

Can't wait for the banner OWH headlines confirming your intel. Bet they're coming sooner rather than later and by that I mean within a couple of weeks.

Wow! I haven't been following this Mercantile development as closely as I should have been. It's almost like Jobber's is making a comeback with the the massing of the new buildings right up on the street helping to reestablish a new "Canyon" and street grid. Yeah, I can see where you migh...

I knew the beachfront section of LCL was going to have firepits but one thing I noticed from the virtual fly over is that apparently GLM will have them as well. This is will be a really nice amenity. Any bets as to whether these will be gas or wood fueled? Considering the amount of infrastructure wo...

I did not get a chance to go to this show last night.. If anyone did, can you give a quick review?… Saw nothing but positive comments online. Photos looked cool. Wonder how Vince Gill played I'm sure he was pretty impeccable. Saw some documentary on the Eagles recently where they were talking about...

According to BIGO88's article supposedly they are incorporating the beginning of phase 4 construction along with the flood mitigation. Hopefully this is true. Looking forward to this portion as much as anything that is going on on the Omaha side.

omahahawk

Thanks Cowboy. I think I speak for everyone on here when I say I appreciate all you can let us know but don't let any cats out the bag that are going to get you or anybody else in trouble.

Walking on the Kerry bridge the other day couldn't help noticing just how prominent a place on the skyline this potential new building on the library site will be. It really will be the center piece and provide a great symmetry to the whole picture. Be nice if it were tall but even more importantly ...

Considering how the GLM concert venue drew inspiration from the Hollywood Bowl, I thought this little video was pertinent.

Wow, never noticed anything like that when I went and it was usually pretty packed each time. Not sure if it's the pandemic or mismanagement or both.

omahahawk

My guess is the city will want to use it pretty frequently. People going to downtown events spend money downtown after all. I can see some kind of corporate sponsorship or grant set up similar to what is done at Aksarben Village, if for nothing else to cover security costs etc. I am sure there is no...
