Omaha Forums

Even if it's only going to be a few stories high, this is a really large area and this complex will really change this area.

looks like they might be done with grading and excavation. two big drilling rigs (i dont know what else they'd be called) were on site this morning, and surveyors have been busy for a few days.

as a frequent bike commuter I love all the back-in angle parking the city is building. it's much safer to ride past parked cars!

I heard a rumor today that this project will be two(?) smaller buildings instead of one six-story building.

right in the middle of the lot, next to/under their GPS tripod

I can't see the logo from where I am. The guys seem to have put a pink stake in the ground and gone for lunch.

Looks like some surveyors are out on this property today. I wonder what's happening?

Old Dundee closing makes sense if they don't want to bulldoze the existing buildings to make it up to code. Because the existing front doors are not up to code anymore (being 4 feet from Dodge street or less), the building was grandfathered in. A major remodel would invalidate that, making it prohi...

someone mentioned tax incentives for condos being a crazy idea. i don't think it's crazy if you consider that bypasses and freeway expansions are indirect subsidies to suburban developers and trucking companies.

I'd be surprised if they went to speculators but I suppose it's possible. A few years ago I remember the Urban Village people were starting to sell some of their units along Marcy and were desperate for even one unit to sell so that it could be used as a comparable. Apparently nothing like these tow...

Sold sign already on the northern-most home for the 3036 Marcy townhome. They're not quite done working on the interior, from what I can tell. The "columns" are finally up on the second story

Rebuild that bridge just past freedom park. Unfortunately they are in the process of getting the paperwork to tear it out... Omaha, Carter Lake, and I think even the railroads have stated they want to keep it. However the coast guard had deemed it a "Navigation Hazard" and are pushing to ...

Omaha is an area with tons to do, you just have to look for it. Its not a place where it lands in your lap. I have lived here all of my life and have heard tons of people state, "there's nothing to do here." But there always is - open a paper or local magazine - keep your ears open - go t...

Looks like that was the Burt Tower on 20th and Burt, which was demolished in 2003 to make way for Creighton dorms. I think it was elderly housing in the 70's and 80's.

Here's a video of the implosion

I wonder if we'll see more action on this when the civic auditorium project moves forward.

Looks like they're putting on the final crane parts

The cranes are just visible through the mist
