Anything is good news at this point. Â Coming up on a year from the 3 announced proposals now, would love to see this break ground. Â Every major announced project(this, Crossroads, both outlet malls, Wallstreet) over the last few years haven't happened yet. Â Turning dirt here in 2012 would be awesome!ItsAllAboutMe wrote:Sampling, drilling or whatever you want to call it took place this week in this parking lot. If you happen to go by you can see orange cones at sample sites.
I'd say that is a positive development.

I do think the city has wised up and didn't sell the land yet. Â So if it falls through at least they didn't give it away for a buck...MadMartin8 wrote:Is this is going to die due to lack of funding much like the infamous Wall Street Tower? I have that funny feeling.
I sometimes think there needs to be a requirement about getting funding before even awarding a parcel of land for development. I know it would never work, but just a musing thought.
David Brown was talking about in on Grow Omaha this past weekend.
Here is what he said: "He (Shamrock) is making progress. He is doing everything he can behind the scenes. Marriott is the name being thrown around."

From that same person the whole development is going to be a collection of developers working on each separate part of the property with Shamrock organizing them all and bringing them together for a common project.thenewguy wrote:iamjacobm wrote:Big rumor here. I heard the apartment tower on the west end is going to be developed by a Denver company and they are looking at making it up to 30 floors.
with any luck we will see that announcement in 60-90 days.
I have no issue with skepticism though. Â I am not even betting on anything that scale happening. Â I just figured I would share the latest I had heard.

This would be beyond awesome. I hope it comes true!
I have been thinking along the lines of the Marriott branded hotel being connected to this site. Â I think it would be awesome and not entirely out of the realm of possibility for it to be JW branded. Â Obviously nothing like the new Indy one or the Austin one u/c that both have 1000 rooms. Â There are examples of JWs around the proposed 350 rooms at this site. Â Atlanta has 360 and Denver has 191.
The one I am really drawing a good comparison on is the one built in Grand Rapids. Â It is 329 rooms and is built right near their convention center and obviously sits in a comparable market.

I hope you're right but as a former Marriott employee I just don't the JW Marriott brand in Omaha anytime soon. Top of the line Marriott maybe but not JW. but again I hope you're right. That would be a major coup.
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.
Yeah I am just throwing stuff out there with this one. Â The only reason for the post was because Grand Rapids has one. Â If it were exclusively larger markets I wouldn't of brought it up.guy4omaha wrote:I hope you're right but as a former Marriott employee I just don't the JW Marriott brand in Omaha anytime soon.

What's the time frame when we can...? Â A year and a half with zero news and movement? Two years?
I suspect by year three with zero movement we might want to throw in the towel, and be too tired to make 60-90 day jokes.

There is an article in today's Omaha World Herald (well at least online) saying that there is still life to this project. There is still hope!
Here's the story (now that I am on my computer):
MECA gives new fuel to north downtown Omaha development plan

Erin Golden WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote: In addition to the 14-story hotel, the project would include nearly 300 apartments, as well as office and retail space. He said the priority — and the biggest reason for the delay in schedule — was landing a hotel operator in a tough economy.
With that out of the way, Moylan expects his team could begin construction by the end of the year. The hotel and some of the other parts of the development would likely be completed within the following two years.

Ooops, sorry if I didn't format the link correctly. My bad!
