There’s another one of those blue pumper towers going up in the same pit the blue kangaroo crane on the west side. It’s in the 2nd update video.

https://i.postimg.cc/PpmGKbkR/DSCN9971.jpg You can see the horizontal lines on the core which apparently correspond to where the elevations of the different levels of the garage will line up. And by the looks of it, the north garage will be on a slightly different plane than the south garage going ...

Is there another crane going up??

OI! Do I need to stop this car right now and put the thread in time out??

It’s finally wrapped around to the south side, but you can see they’re creating another platform attached to the jump form mechanism.

What happened to the debate about the legislative bill to criminalize recording police within a 10-foot distance?

So...they built a box and hauled dirt in to "break". Don't they have to deconstruct that and haul it out. Sounds counter-productive to me. It is called a "ceremonial" groundbreaking for a reason... Also, where they are actually doing demo is in the secure area between the two te...

Pretty substantial news in the new planning board docs. Woodbury Corporation, a major RE player based out of SLC, joined the ownership team. Increasing TIF request to $105.55 million and a total project cost of $861.7 million. By the looks of it office components were reduced, and retail space incr...

Comedian Richard Lewis, the stand-up comic who most recently played a fictionalized version of himself on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," has died. He was 76. Lewis died "peacefully at his home in Los Angeles" on Tuesday after suffering a heart attack, his publicist Jeff Abraham co...

I believe the soil is a major contributor to Omaha’s lack of tunnels.

The entrance and exit is steep. Pretty sure it would not meet ADA requirements for a wheelchair. An ADA ramp can only rise 2.5' for every 30 feet in length and then it needs a flat landing before the next 30' segment can start. How deep do you think that tunnel is? If the bottom is 10 feet below gr...

That’s like complaining about prison architecture. Form follows function.

The question is, which plot of land is this replacing?

It’s stated earlier in the thread…

Spoke with someone tonight that is involved with the Beef. They said USA Volleyball and NHL is a done deal. Can’t vouch for the accuracy, but this person seemed to know some solid info.

Have they laid out the properties they’re looking at. Will it be a direct expansion adjacent to the current mall, or would it be across the highway or interstate?

I can only imagine how cool it will end up being. If they can turn a hospital into the state's biggest apt building, then the sky is the limit at the twin towers.

It still smells like dead people

I don't want to take away from the amazing content of today's update so here's a new thread for the non-development side of things. I'll start with my one and only gripe: What the |expletive| is a Knight Owl??? The NHL already has a team using the word "Knight" in the Vegas Golden Knights...

From the looks of the last photo it seems like they have topped out. The elevator shaft? No, the building. I see no indication that an additional floor is under construction. Projects I am familiar with (and I only need look out my bedroom window to see one) have rebar and vertical concrete pillars...

10 weeks for that little building? What’s your bid? I bid opening up the shortest existing ever destruction room business. They pay me money and I let them at it. Come to think about it, this is an excellent business opportunity! Who’s with me? We could even maybe get Will Arnett to do the clown vo...

Will I go to the water park? Not likely as that’s not my thing.

Do I support this water park being successful? ABSOLUTELY!! It’s still an Omaha (area) win, and I’m all for that.

Inset along the map says Phases 1-3 were complete in 2023, but the 48th street adjustment hasn't started and I don't think anything has been done on the Jones - 46th or Emile - 46th connectors. The credit union is currently in the way. Once the new corner ATM is done, the “old” building will be tor...

I have heard from others that a major tech company will be establishing major operations in Omaha, in 6 months or so. This company has a larger market share than Facebook. In 6 months or so, this announcement will be made in the news and will make many very happy. Nothing deeper can be shared on th...

I know we all love to trash on MegaSaver, but they’re really actually a good company. Gotta give them kudos for improving their locations/buildings and filling in some missing places.

I love the tracks. My only wish is that there were more trains to watch. I do understand why some see it as an eyesore. It doesn’t help that graffiti artist use the rail cars as their canvas. I don’t think it’s necessarily an eyesore. It’s just in a location that could be much more desirable withou...

Removing those tracks would have been very expensive to remove and the park would have had to take a cut in other areas when under construction; unless the private donors increased the amount of funding yes bu...
