I thought it was interesting that Jay mentioned a potential amenity/service that people in the "immediate area" would greatly approve of.

Potential grocery store???

Wow, I applaud their interior designers. This has got to be one of the most appealing and beautifully put together interiors I’ve ever seen in the city.

I wonder how difficult/ how long it would take for someone to come along and say “screw your single story” and try to infill the rest of the project?

Astounds me, in some countries people have been shot right on the street for trying to vote. In America we are afraid of getting sick for trying to vote. Astounds me why we can't just log onto the internet with our computer or phones and vote. That is the real travesty of this all. I wish it was th...

Yeah mass mail-in ballots are a terrible idea. It just introduces more links for potential failure because we've NEVER seen people (in this case postal workers) become politically compromised to the point where they abandon any principle to foul the ballots. You would trust this postal worker to fa...

Not super impressed with the plan, but I have a feeling this will end up being more like aksarben and less like heartwood preserve in that the finished product may be bigger than originally advertised rather than less so. They’re touting a “competitive advantage” being that the project will be finis...

Do you mean aside from the Westroads station, like there is one right in front of Ricketts's lot(s)?

No just referring to the west roads stop within the Westwood’s loop.

There is an orbt stop there.

I mostly deliver for DoorDash in the side (as the unemployment rate is so low here that you will have no issue getting a more stable job if needed) and I’ve never had issues with not having enough orders, unless it’s not a high demand time of the day. I am extremely picky about the orders I’ll accep...

This would make sense. I assumed they owned the building given the building is “Valmont Plaza”

buildomaha

I don’t really get the move either, but if it means more available prime office space for a new company to move into to crate jobs in Omaha I won’t complain.

I support and am rooting for the Medical Marijuana and Gambling petitions that have just been submitted to be put up for vote on the ballot. That being said it is a complete waist of time and energy in a State like Nebraska. It does not matter if they put it on a ballot and we vote to legalize thos...

I think mayor Stothert has done her good but her time is past. I look at what even Lincoln is doing just from the standpoint of some urban planning implementations like reclaiming lanes downtown and showing it is a progressive, accepting city. Not to mention they have a high-rise planned downtown ri...

Really what I got from it is what we all have always known: Omaha needs to make a big investment in citywide public transit. There needs to be a robust backbone of transit to allow bigger ideas like this to exist.

I love it. Someone send the link to the mayor!

The ‘coastal elites’ aren’t the ones who have to move elsewhere because of money. They don’t even have to move because of density, because they will still find a way to stay in their penthouse and helicopter around their cities. The people who will move away are the people who are forced ours by hig...

Well the city and it’s infrastructure can decay because there’s no money to pay for anything, or we can face the reality that COVID-19 poses challenges to every single aspect of life and we’re going to have to just take the brunt of those problems.

buildomaha

Maybe developer wants to make use of low interest rates right now. Kind of genius if you ask me.

buildomaha

I agree it’s not the most groundbreaking architecture, but it’s not ugly. My concern still isn’t with the mediocrity of the building but with the lack of concern to walkability. A 2 story parking garage is already travesty downtown, but this has zero ground activity in an area adjacent to what’s sup...

Skyrocketing housing costs are a global issue, and construction costs are a flaming national issue. The construction industry has had almost zero innovation in the past century, and it’s part of the problem. There are University majors, and even colleges dedicated to the art of engineering great bu...

They will continue to move back office functions to places like Omaha. As we saw from ConAgra and will one day soon see from BH, CEOs want to be with the cool kids and their spouses want the sizzle. NYC is going to be fine because the C suite is immune to the economic mess that is our larger cities...

I was just looking at 120th and West Center looking east on West Center on Street View and at the top of the hill, I can faintly see the Downtown Omaha skyline. It's weird. I didn't think I could see it from there. I go through that intersection going East some mornings and can see FNBO and the Woo...

An interesting article about the cost of housing increase that references Omaha as one of the biggest culprits.

This is getting ridiculous for a project that consists of putting in a few bus stations on a single straight road... I don’t even want to think about how streetcar construction would have been had it been put into reality.

Freezing is getting a remodel right now. They will be keeping the rolled ice cream, but also adding Poke Bowls and Bubble Tea.

I guarantee any chance this has in the Legislature will be torn to pieces by the rural senators.

Oak view has been rather busy lately. I think the mall can handle it’s own and maybe slowly and surely the mall will and surrounding parcels will get the right mix of users to continue driving more traffic to the area. I would still love to see something more visionary though, such as residential on...

I agree with the sentiment that the project is a little disappointing when it comes to pedestrian issues with the parking garage, but I do respect the development this will help drive in NDT and am thankful Kiewit decided to keep their world HQ in Omaha. Businesses like Kiewit and Flywheel acting as...

I’m also shocked. Omaha would never be the type of city to shove all the minority children into a school district and allow neo-segregated districts to form

With 2019 coming to a close, we have had several big things happen this year in terms of economic and real estate development. I thought it would be fun, since it's been slow around here, to put up our wish lists of things we would like to see/happen in the metro in 2020. Here's some of mine: - Gro...

I’ve get a little glimpse at the construction every time I drive back and forth from Iowa City to Omaha. Great location for them, especially given their target demographic being on the extreme outer edge of the metro.

I know some projects need a little help to get off the ground, but these TIF and other developer-helper taxes seem like they only go to the projects in the hottest parts of town. Not to mention how low the cost of developing in Nebraska is, most projects shouldn’t need that much to get off the groun...

If TD Ameritrade moves out of Omaha the State and City should forcefully take that building back and tear that name off. They don't deserve that building nor do they deserve our support after the tax breaks we have given this company. This is a stab in the back. If they want to keep some workers he...

I swear I saw this media bias chart sometime earlier this year and it was debunked as biased as well. I despair of finding good news sources. We typically watch CNN, Fox, and PBS Newshour to try and get a balance of bias. Everything is opinion any longer, not news. Even with supposed news anchors, ...

We can all agree that the boomers ruined everything (at least anyone that’s not a boomer), and that cable news has begun to prioritize profit over true reporting. They’ve turned talk shows into something as close to a reality tv show as possible because it gets more “clicks” in the way I think of it...
