I'll take "Obvious Uses for Lot B for $200 Alex" although the building in the mockup rendering is hideous.

Obviously the Capitol District is just getting underway, but does anyone know if there are long term plans to expand the entertainment district? I know they referenced KCs Power & Lights district frequently in regards to this project, and would love to see Omaha grow an entertainment district s...

I'm just curious why Council bluff's who has a large county way bigger then Douglas has never expanded as greatly as Omaha has. Stigma is my guess. It's a lovely town east of South Expressway, but many don't venture that far and only know it for what they see immediately over the river. Maybe River...

Lincoln better get annexing to make it bigger for us we have done our part! Btw why hasn't Lincoln annexed as liberally as Omaha has? There's a problem there. Lincoln actually does annex pretty liberally. Only about %10 of the population of Lancaster county (30,000 people) lives outside of Lincoln ...

Potential rendering of the new restaurant?

My iPad has been working well for a few days, but my Android using Firefox keeps logging me into the same user for the past week. In fact right now when I opened it I am at that users page, and says it is currently Sat Apr 29 2:03 pm, my Last visit was at Sat 11:02 am... I go to Unread posts and it...

I mean honestly as a fairly liberal Democrat who voted for Sanders in the primary I'm perfectly happy with this outcome. Stothert has proven herself to be a good centrist mayor and not one to walk the party line.

Daveoma here....Yeah I think this might be an issue with Chrome because I was able to login without issue using puffin. Btw it's logging me in as RNCyanide. Ha!! It kept logging me in as you too!! I was getting logged in as Coyote and Admin. Almost went on a mild power trip but decided against it

Maybe the Lanoha site is finally moving?

I'm definitely glad it's not the Orange and yellow monstrousity that was shown

They're being built by different developers I believe

Sometimes I wish I-29 ran through Nebraska instead of Iowa. I've said that before, but it is true. Too many bridges south of Omaha. That, and interstates were originally meant to bypass cities with branches/off ramps going in, which is where you get 680, 480, etc. and also why I-80 is at the edge o...

Garrett

That's a bit of an unfair comparison, since San Francisco is just a small part of the greater San Fran metro area. Same thing with most of the cities mentioned. When you account for the large swatch of suburbs we've annexed, Omaha's density doesn't seem very low. It is possible to do this accuratel...

Garrett

This reminds me... google maps really needs to fix the city limits of Omaha. It's like they took the annexation of Elkhorn has annexing the entire school district.

Honestly with the rise of all of the online retailers these days I'm surprised at the amount of retail space a lot of developments are building.

Oy vey. I'm sure that'll be fun.

I see a certain someone is running for city council in the 3rd district...

Two hotels in one building? That's interesting. I wonder if they'll be two iterations of one large brand, like a Courtyard and a Residence Inn. What flags aren't in Downtown Lincoln right now?

Garrett

I find it odd that any official rendering releases by this group seems to go back and forth between the original and updated office component design. I'm fairly certain the updated version is the one they're going with, regrettably, but I'm longing for the original design. I'm not sure what you mea...

According to a very reliable source, a redevelopment plan for the Conagra campus, know to some as "Project Canyon", will be announced this coming week. It will include a large mix of retail and office space, hundreds of apartments, and a hotel (this one is going to be HUGE for Omaha and V...

There's no downstream Dam. You could take a boat from Sioux City all the way to the Mississippi River in St Louis.

This is correct. The Missouri is considered navigable between these two points.

Wanting an NFL team in Omaha is pretty much the only reason you need to vote against Taylor Royal. The numbers are too clear, no city benefits from such a waste. Sure you are right........but a pro NFL team sounds about 300 times more fun then a stupid streetcar in the wrong end of town. If I'm not...

There's actually nonstop flights to Orlando now. No need for connections anymore.

Yes that's what I was saying haha.

One last thing. Sure, now that I've been gone over 8 years NOW Omaha has non stops coast to coast. Back in the day transferring in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, etc. was the only way to go.

The entire master plan was included in the zoning request. Tons of info. https://cityclerk.cityofomaha.org/images/agenda/ID_17_03_21w/Planning_Zoning/371.pdf Highlights: On page 23: "In total, the development will include over 1,400,000 square feet of office space, 819,000 square feet of retai...

Jeez. It's like they said "find the highest concentration of old warehouses and that's where we'll locate our headquarters." Part of me wants a developer to hire someone who designs period sets in Hollywood or for Disney theme parks and have them recreate these buildings where they used t...

Maybe Mutual would pay for the 3 free hours.

Could someone explain why Dodge is included in some of these statistics and in others it is not? Also, what counties are in with Omaha in the main statistic? Dodge county is part of the combined statistical area(CSA), but not the Metropolitan Statistical area (MSA). The MSA is Douglas, Sarpy, Cass,...

I'm going to submit my traditional estimate of...... 1 PERSON!!!!!!

On a more serious note.... 927,812 and 965,018

Sheesh! 240 apartments is quite the substantial development for this area. This would probably be the biggest apartment development in North Downtown, no?

Garrett

Just imagine what $1.2 billion would do downtown., I have no idea what a private developer would do with 1.2 billion downtown. Build one tall building? Build 3 medium height buildings in North Downtown? How much does the Capital District cost? How much did First National cost? I seriously have no i...

I'm already getting flashbacks to the original plans for Legacy... wasn't L Street Marketplace similar at one point too?

Yep! The ConAgra rink will be moving there, and I believe there's supposed to be a video board too.

I keep seeing it said that the advantage of the Streetcar is that it conveys a sense of permanence, which entices developers to build nearby. I think this overstates things. It's certainly possible the developers are that unwise (after all Trump was a developer, and my two year old shows better rea...

"80,000 workers and 9,000 residents" Omaha is no where near that, we're gonna have to wait quite a while. Also, looking at it now that residents number has to include a lot of people from outside of downtown as well. Their main downtown census tract, which includes all of their downtown a...

"80,000 workers and 9,000 residents" Omaha is no where near that, we're gonna have to wait quite a while. The greater downtown region (Downtown, Midtown crossing area, North Downtown, and the area just south of the tracks) has around 20,000 people according to 2015 data. Even if you just ...
