They are gradually building more on the SW portion of their property out west, but this is more of a research hospital...

Boystown: Maintaining their presence in the Landing development. This includes some of their surgery suites, doctors offices, and speech/hearing research facilities. They may even try and open a "quick care" for adults to attempt to be a good neighbor and serve the Landing and other downtown/midtown residents. But yes, the majority of their "hospital" work is out at the West campus, on Pacific on the Boystown campus.
Creighton: All of their academic medical research will move to Bergan (and other CHI Health sites, including University Campus standalone ER/clinic, etc). The more "basic science" stuff will remain on the Creighton campus.
I was told yesterday that they are aiming to rent to Creighton students, so I am guessing it will skew toward small units at relatively low costs. Also they plan to quickly construct the pedestrian bridge linking it to the CU campus. Something that maybe should have been done 30 years ago.

...but where would hospital employees smoke if not under the interstate?
The hospital has such a weird floor plan (hub and spoke on pt floors, random atriums/courtyards, long hallways), I'm very curious to see how they will turn that into apartments. I can't imagine how much of an architectural nightmare it would be. Might as well knock down every wall except the exterior shell and go from there.
They're probably going to have to install new elevators too... there's only 4 in the lobby and 1 way in the back.
I heard that they were planning on putting a plane n the side of the building, I am guessing facing 75.
Just why was this project called "The Landing"?

NuStyle co-owner Todd Heistand said the name is a nod to the “landing” spot at the end of the bridge. It’s also a tribute to the diversity of the surrounding area and student body at Creighton, whose “global initiative” mission aims to build worldwide connections and understanding.
“The Landing will serve as an off-campus echo of the energy and intent of the Creighton Global Initiative,” said a description by Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture.
The Landing’s decor and theme are intended to evoke a feeling of international airports.
There will be photos of airports from home countries of Creighton’s varied international student population. “International airports that Creighton students will be familiar with,” Heistand said.
Public areas will be branded to reflect air travel in the 1970s, the era when the hospital was built, said Martin Kluck, project manager for Alley Poyner. Signage will resemble travel tickets. Internationally recognized icons will be used in place of words.

Name is too similar to the 340 unit complex in Bellevue called The Landing's at 10215 Cape Cod Landing.
I drive passed here every day and noticed that there are spots you can see daylight as they have openings going all the way through the building. Also there seems to some some type of structure being built on top.
I happened to exit toward 30th street the other night and where the lake in the photo would be they are piling up a lot of the concrete and blocks they are taking out.

I was thinking they were getting close but based on the plan up above the East side pillar is going to have stairs and an elevator so it has a ways to go as right now it is just the rebar framework BUT the west and middle one look done.
This development has caught me by surprise. It was announced not even two years ago and the pace appears to be impressive.
But, from the last picture, it looks like you're paying for costs behind converting a hospital into an apartment complex, not for your own particular living space. I'm basing my statements on the appliances, cabinets and flooring. White appliances perform the same as stainless steel at a lower cost. White cabinets have the same function as stained cabinets, at a lower price. And the wood look tile flooring is inflated because it's in vogue. You pay more for look than function. There's also nothing wrong with that, since the market dictates it.
Anyone else catch that this is the 2nd set of apartments with "Atlas" in the name being developed here in town? Would have thought this would have come out in their due diligence, before settling on a name....
Bridge spans going up this weekend. I saw pieces on each side of N 75 this week. Hopefully it is done on time so it is open Monday am as that is my way to work.
Northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 75 North Freeway (US-75) from Hamilton Street to Douglas Street will be closed for construction of a new private pedestrian bridge over US-75, between the US-75/Interstate 480 (I-480) interchange and Burt Street. The closure will begin at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 6 and end at 6 a.m. on Monday, April 9.
Travelers driving northbound on US-75 will be detoured off of US-75 at the Harney/Dodge Street exit and will use northbound 28th Street to Dodge Street to northbound 30th Street to the Hamilton Street entrance ramp. The westbound I-480 ramp to northbound US-75 will be closed. Traffic will be detoured via 30th Street to the Hamilton Street entrance ramp.
The bridge is part of the redevelopment of the former Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) site for use as apartments and retail. The new bridge will span from the southeast corner of the former CUMC campus on the west and align with the existing at-grade pedestrian mall on the Creighton University campus to the east. This grade-separated crossing of US-75 will enhance mobility and safety of pedestrians traveling from Creighton University to the areas of redevelopment.
