The one time I stayed at an Aloft hotel (Miami Doral) the room was BY FAR the largest room I have ever stayed in out of perhaps 500 hotel nights. Had to be over 1000 sq’. We paid for a standard room, and they liked my hisband’s shoes so much that they gave us the big upgrade for free. That is defin...

Could be worse. Could be East Farm.

It's so funny that people think that some working class / low middle class family that can move out to a new home in some safe starter neighborhood and send their kids to good schools is motivated by racism. What heroes the rich people in Dundee are for living in the city, when they send their kids ...

Another Super Block. Couldn't the building on one block and the parking lot on the other connected by some elevated walkways serve the same purpose. Is ConAgra campus the first Super Block in Omaha where the city might reclaim a street?

Joe_Sovereign

The building is almost completely gone.

Joe_Sovereign

Here is to hoping they put their 5 to 9 story office on top of the parking garage.

Interesting about Hines combining their plan with the Riverfront redevelopment plan. Shrinking the lake and extending Farnam plus the Harney Street Plaza would be very interesting. I wonder though about the bridge over the lake or shrinking the lake if they might need to shrink the fountain as well....

It is the European Village that we have always dreamed about. They must be keeping the Ferris Wheel design under wraps right now.

I heard a rumor last weekend I absolutely hate and many on here will too. I hope to God it isn't true. Rumor is Mutual of Omaha is relocating its headquarters here. Not just the bank. Everything. Depression/anger commence. Mutual of Omaha is behind all the development underway east of Turner Park. ...

Incredible vision. I am a pessimist but even if the residential units, office space, etc. ends up scaled back this would be an incredible boost to downtown.

1000 Degree's Neapolitan Pizza is opening next to the Verizon store in the same strip as GreenBelly, a banner sign is hanging above the doors. Yay more food options. http://www.1000degreespizza.com/ There is another one of these that just opened up at 180th and Q. In the plaza with Hy-Vee. That is ...

Developers expect TIF on every single project no matter what. It would be nice if our tax money went to actual government services instead of the pockets of developers.

Joe_Sovereign

The Hy-Vee store at 180th and Pacific has converted about 10% to 15% of their floor space into a clothing store. I forget the Brand Name of the Clothing Store but it is a little strange to see an entire section of clothing racks in a Hy-Vee.

Joe_Sovereign

They have torn out all of the sidewalk in front of all of these buildings. Don't know if this is just a preliminary step or it means the whole project is underway.

Joe_Sovereign

Some new construction is underway next to the Gymnastics Gym. Does anyone know what is going in?

Joe_Sovereign

Honestly, 168th should have been widened 10+ years ago before traffic got so heavy to call it painful. I'm sorry, I very rarely go west of 680 and it truly is a different life. How are things out there? When 168th was built out to 3 lanes in the early 2000's Village Point and the 168th and Maple Wa...

I think were going to look back in a year or two are really wish we would of had more retail along 14th. Missed our opportunity to create a focal street for the neighborhood. In a few years this might be 2 blocks away. http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/omaha.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/ed...

This seems like an easy winner.

This building has topped off.

Parking separating buildings that are in the same development is my main complaint. Whats one of the most looked down upon lots in any urban area? Surface parking lots. This is supposed to be an urbanized area and Yates didn't even separate the stores in NEX with parking lots. Stores on the fringe ...

Greenbelly aiming to be open by September

Joe_Sovereign

Drove by earlier this week. Looks like the elevator shaft is about two floors high so far on the hotel.

Big announcement coming on the Crossroads.

Rumor That the city is giving in on the tax incentives and we could see work starting this fall.

Joe_Sovereign

Is this still called 15A? Is there some kind of plan of naming the lake, a schedule on when a name is going to be announced.

Joe_Sovereign

It is not the greatest design but filling up "The Yard" with another 5 story building is a good step forward.

This is much better than a 2 block surface parking lot.

Joe_Sovereign

Still no details of what the Cambria is going to look like?

Do we even know the number of rooms or number of floors?

Joe_Sovereign

Should this be merged with the Avenue One thread? They're being built by different developers I believe Do you think the developers are talking to each other? I would hope if this project is going to be surrounded by a multi-use development this developer might want to move the buildings to the edg...

The could have cleared everything south of Howard St. for Con Agra to build a Campus and left 8 full blocks of Jobbers Canyon in place.

Joe_Sovereign

What kills me is you could have built the lake and kept all the buildings. Imaging 8th street with Jobbers Canyon Warehouse district on one side and Heartland of America Park on the other. http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/omaha.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/d/56/d56770f6-64d3-11e5...

There would have still been a parking garage behind the Marriott. I don't know if you would have gotten more land back.

Good news from the OWH article
"Construction for “Baby Bob” is scheduled for 2018 or 2019."

Joe_Sovereign

These storage units need to be zoned industrial. They are incredibly ugly and a literally dead space for activity.

Joe_Sovereign

It would be nice if they quickly completed the part of this project that blocks a lane of westbound Pacific street.

At the YP Summit today, the mayor said Conagra has plans for the campus and she was impressed with them. Didn't give any more details though. She's been saying that for a minute now. Would love if ConAgra would release their plans soon! Yeah, for a couple months now, but nothing has been released y...

Downtown Denver could have gay snuff films showing on the walls of mosques and get away with it. Try saying you don't like Denver sometime. Silicon valley can operate on a plantation slave economy and get away with it. Of course there are strippers and no one complains. We are not those places. Try...

Its one thing to have a skin bar in the outskirts of town, but to have one a half block south of the Crossroads, where we are contemplating spending huge money on redeveloping it, means we get another variable that makes it harder to attract outside investment. What happens when Google or some Bank...

This is such liberal fake compassion bullsh*t. If Warren Buffett actually gave a f*ck about the people of North Omaha he would have a couple of the companies he owns move manufacturing plants back from China to North Omaha. Then he would train people in North Omaha for the jobs including training a...
