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

And creighton is maintaining their status as a research hospital, correct? At Bergan or the new clinic?

In reference to the two hospital questions above:

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 love living next to an operating room! Is the morgue open for residents too?

People are dying to get in that place.

I had to say it.

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?

Drunk college kids. Or maybe that knife-wielding ex-Creighton student that was high on LSD.

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.

Hospital is officially closed.

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.

Since this is marketed (primarily) towards Creighton students, call it "The Nest" - with a blue jay "landing" :)

Demo is well underway:

Planning for the bridge over Highway 75 has begun and should start getting built this month.

Maybe we can borrow an idea from our little brother and put some big letters on the bridge "OMAHA" spelled out for everyone to see

And on the south side on the bridge “North Omaha”.

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.

They have been putting up the Bridge support/tower on the west side of N 75 for the past couple of weeks.

Here is the scope of what the Bridge should look like

Welcome!

I definitely don’t hate this bridge! Still think we should put “OMAHA” but that’s just my opinion.

Agreed! O M A H A

Looks like the bridge pillars are almost done over Highway 75.

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.

Found a couple renderings that haven't been posted yet:







And one of a near-finished unit:

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.

Style vs substance, who you got?

Those renderings look pretty good. The apt on the other hand, doesn't really do it for me.

They'll be very popular with Creighton students - especially if the price is [semi] reasonable.

New name "Atlas" first units in June. Rents ranging from$735 for 1 BR to $1850 for a 4 bedroom.

That's cool that they are opening or re-opening the middle areas in to courtyards. Should maker for much nicer apartments.

Looking good! I wonder if anyone will be tempted to try to walk on those beams across the courtyards?

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....

I'm going to say yes.

Roast Coffee, located in Aksarben Village, will open a second location here.

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.
