Re: Official: Aksarben Village
I have also heard rumors that Pacific Life may be in need to rent some space. Sounds like they did a UP in building a building that they outgrew right after they moved in. Pacific Life has only had the complete Omaha staff in the building since late October/early November. (less than 6 months)
