My hunt for for living downtown has finally ended. After years of listening to everyone on here I finally started looking at moving to the Old Market about 2 years ago. I determined that for the price and location that the Ford Lofts were my choice and in particular 1 of 12 units. After missing out ...

So they only have one model with a balcony and it just so happens to have two? $2,900 - $3,000 and you can get some fresh air.

On a side note, I was looking at a condo on Friday and it looked like the hotel pool was ready for tile work. I think that will be a cool feature if they do it right.

As of an October 2015 study they have 180th as the I-80 exit. They will make 180th south to Platteview Road a Major Arterial. There is nothing about 168th.

You forgot to mention the storage units under construction on 192nd and Harrison, 192nd and Giles (Expanding existing), 180th and Harrison (North Side), 180th and Harrison (South Side) and 180th and Giles. That is going to be 5 new and 1 expanded facility within 1.2 miles of each other in a resident...

The CenturyLink Center is 1.1 miles away from the same type of establishment. I don't see North Downtown development slowing down because of it. No one seems to care that one of the first businesses you see when leaving the airport is a strip club. The 20's is hidden off the main streets and unless ...

Shane Harrington originally from Lincoln is the owner. He originally got started when his wife Melissa and him started a website. From there he tried to open a bar but Lincoln would not give him a liquor license. After numerous years and attempts he decided to give up that idea and opened three stri...

Their website lists the following:
1. Penthouse City Lounge - Entertainment Gourmet Kitchen, City Sky Views
2. 3rd Floor City Deck - Outdoor Patio Lounge, Complimentary Coffee Station, Billiard Table, Fire Feature
4. Free Cox Wi-Fi hotspots and Gigablast Speeds

The Canopy Lofts in Lincoln's Railyard run around $900 for a 1 bedroom and $650 - $750 per bed for the larger units. I think those prices sound very fair.

Did anyone hear that this is now going to be 3 buildings instead of 4? Still a massive project but in typical Omaha fashion it is being scaled down.

I am surprised that the OWH didn't pick this up but InfoUSA/InfoGroup in Papillion was sold again. Their current owners CCMP entered into a sales agreement with Court Square Capital that should close March 31st. I guess this was officially announced yesterday.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Yes, the drugs could cause this. Look at people on Bath Salts or Flakka that decide to attack and eat other people. You cant tell me that trying to eat someones face is what they would normally do. If he was forced or unknowingly took them, he might ...

Some of these numbers from 2013/2014 and each of these facilities expanded multiple times. Does a facility with 2.5 million square-feet need 2x, 3x, 4x the number of employees as one a quarter of the size? Prineville with about 600,000 square-feet had 150 full-time employees (Including contractors) ...

Using very rough numbers based on Prineville Oregon and Altoona Iowa I could see the following. Construction: $1.6 billion, I originally came up with $1.8 but I am sure a big chunk is electronics and those costs have come down since the original facilities were built. Employment: 250 daily workers P...

If it is four 610,000 sqft buildings that would be massive. Their other locations are in the 450,000 to 750,000 sqft range. Facebook also likes to be Carbon Neutral on everything they do.

I'm torn between February 2019 or 2020. I know they have been selling real estate holdings to stay afloat. Greg Read into their CEO Eddie Lampert and what he is doing. All of his decisions have been terrible and the corporate leadership is toxic. Eddies investment company is loaning Sears money to ...

The lot on the corner that had Walgreen's name attached to it sold a few weeks ago. Is this project taking its place?

There were a few businesses which stayed at that shopping plaza for quite a few years, but overall it mostly attracts short lived tenants. Maybe with old town Millard being redeveloped to the North, the SE corner of Millard Ave and Q may start getting more attention. It's clear that the landlords d...

What am I looking at here? Can you bring in your growler and fill it up from whatever they have on tap? Is this only legal at breweries in Nebraska?

Any idea how big the Plaza "Entertainment District" portion of this will be? It seems like it will be small if they do retail on 3 sides and taller buildings blocking the sun. I guess I originally envisioned this similar to the Railyard in Lincoln.

I would imagine another big student housing project. Maybe even one that adds to the skyline a bit. I would bet big money on this. As far as skyline changer, that would also be nice. :shock: I will be happy to take your money on this one. With all of the new student housing in the last 5 years a lo...

I just got back from a trip and the parking lights need a little work. I was flying Southwest and the east part of the garage said full but decided to check it out anyways.

I agree with you both. Although I have yet to encounter a gas station lot tighter than Cubbies in the Old Market.. That place is a fender bender in the making nearly 24/7... Did Cubbies expand and add a patio or something. I remember earlier this year they had it rezoned but am not able to find it.

Things I think I know: No City Sales Tax, No Restaurant Tax on purchases within the SID. What I don't know: Would the housing be separate from the commercial SID or can you combine them? Can they create what could be considered a city sales tax? Could this tax then be used to pay the bonds and lower...

This land would need to be blighted to get TIF involved. I could maybe see some other arrangement where they don't end up using TIF, but the city puts out bonds to pay for the infrastructure. I wonder if they could even potentially make this a SID? I don't know enough about those to know if that's ...

A couple questions: Does the city of Boys Town extend to the south portion of this? A google search showed the city limits only includes the west farmland. Do you think part of the sale was that they would not to request TIF as it would technically come from Boys Town that just sold the land? Will O...

Let's see if we can get 2 bedroom condos for under $200,000 and monthly fees around $200 I will be right next to you with a deposit as long as they have first floor retail. I would even go $250k depending on the HOA fees. I originally thought of this property like Westgate in Glendale AZ and they h...

Lexus of Omaha went to a no discount trial a couple months ago. As someone in my mid 30's I love that concept even if I would end up paying a little more. If their not going to make an electric vehicle they need to do something to compete with the no franchise model of Tesla.

Is UNO building new practice facilities or something?

Gary Sharpe this morning said that the Marlin Briscoe statue will be moved to the new facilities when they are built. Damon Benning jumped in and asked if that was announced yet. Gary said that he thought it was but did not explain.

They have a partnership with NRG Media so I am guessing they pay $0 for the advertising.

The radio stations get guaranteed adve...
