Does this project have a "real name" yet?

What "Dundee Red Brick Mixed Use Building" isn't catchy enough?

I love the dichotomy in scale between the first picture and the third. Completely fits in the first and totally dominates the strip mall in the third.

Yeah, it's awesome how much it makes the strip mall look out of place.

I noticed that work is being done on the inside of the white building just to the East of Max Walker in Dundee. Has anyone heard anything about something coming into there?

Shouldn't we rename the thread to Underwood Village?

Is this the official designation? I haven't seen that yet...

Professor Woland · Post by **Professor Woland** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 8:53 pm

I think Underwood Village is the name of the strip mall.

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 9:27 pm

Oh yeah it says "underwood village" then "open during construction" my bad thought that was the name of the new place.

this is such a great project! I can't wait to see it all finished

I like the pilasters on the side walls. They echo some of the historic building styles and break up what would otherwise be a huge flat wall of brick. I think this building will look great here.

I was going to say the same thing, it's the small things like this that make a huge difference how the final product looks.

There was a recent OWH article about building signs that got me thinking if they might do something like that on this buuilding, or if they even do that sort of advertising anymore...

Blackstone painted ads for the district on the side of their buildings. In 50 years I am sure they will look faded!

Yeah, those painted signs in the Blackstone District look really nice.

I'm excited to hear more about the restaurant going in here. The World Herald article claimed that the menu was finished back in March.

Article in OWH today names a restaurant led by Willy Thiesen and the former chef at M's pub and a pediatric medical clinic as tenants. Restaurant hopes to open by August.

Scout announced on their Facebook a few days ago that they will be opening a 2nd store in this development. Current location will be "Scout South", new one will be "Scout North".

Building looks great, not completely sold on the large front windows yet. They just look too plain for that building. Maybe it will look better once completed.

A few observations:

First, I love the amount of brick used here and the detail on the south and east sides - really makes it fit into the neighborhood.
Second, the size of this building will take some getting used to. I have been by every few weeks and it still looks huge.
Finally, I don't know if it has been mentioned before in this thread, but that west wall really lends itself to a sweet mural of some kind. I wonder if the owners have considered it. I think it would help the new building with some character.

Overall, great to see this getting close to completion.

I am pleased by the look and size of this building.

Post by **Brad** » Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:04 pm

I have heard a couple people lately complain about the size of this building................

Plain and simple, if there was a 2 or 3 story building on the KFAB lot, there would be Zero issues with the size of this building, it would blend right in. Until that surface lot is filled in, it does stick out a bit.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:17 pm

That size building is about perfect IMO. I agree that the parking lot doesn't help it seem connected and then when you add the approach from the west which is at the bottom of a hill and that it is right next to such a nondescript strip mall makes it easy to seem out of place.

I wonder if this will scare the neighborhood away from any future proposals on the parking lot or for a strip mall redevelopment...still a lot of opportunity to make Dundee better IMO.

Post by **Brad** » Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:20 pm

Totally, if you look at in the context of the there building on that street, its perfect.

I sure hope the KFAB lot is next, before the strip mall.

Wow. They did an excellent job of blending that place in.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 10:36 pm

I think it looks really nice, and a couple more buildings in the open lots will really tie it in. It actually looks more to me like the downtown buildings left standing after adjacent buildings have been demolished, rather than too big for the space. More like it's asking for some companions ;-)

Paragon Dundee

Willy Theisen’s new Dundee restaurant has name, opening date

http://www.omaha.com/go/dining/willy-th ... 60902.html

Sarah Baker Hansen / World-Herald staff writer wrote:Paragon Dundee will open mid-August, Theisen said. The name, he said, is a nod toward the definition of the word “paragon,” which is a thing regarded as a model of excellence, or an example of a particular quality.
