New Downtown Library - 1401 Jones Street
Word on the street is that 1401 Jones Street has a new owner. I hear that things might get a little bazaar in there.

What are you not telling us?
Re: 1401 Jones Street
A play on words perhaps?
Re: 1401 Jones Street
I think I know what he means. Basically, a farmers market, but much bigger and non-food things, like crafts, clothes etc.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
God I can't wait to go by crafts there… I hope you're right

If Brad has the 411 and appears to be excited, it's most likely that bath house.

I am not sure if I am excited for a Bazarr or not? If its like one of those cool big city market places, it could be really cool, but if it is more like a flea market, I could care less.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
From the article on the Harney St music scene a few days ago, I never knew Saddle Creek had their eyes on this building before they went to North Downtown. Would be interesting to see the dynamic in the Old Market area if they went here instead.
Re: 1401 Jones Street
Building back on the market. $1.3 million.
Re: 1401 Jones Street
White Lotus bought it for just over a million. Being marketed now, hope it comes together this time.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
This building was built in 1912, so its just over 100. Hope it sees new life.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
Acquired in 2016 - This three-story 42,400 square foot building is one of the remaining warehouse structures in the coveted downtown, Old Market district. We to tackle maximizing the value of the asset with clear and achievable investment objectives. Tentatively, the renovation of this building would include what we are calling an ‘innovation hub’ with an out-of-the-box office space, a coffee shop/beanery, a brewery and even a rooftop deck space. The team sees this as being a place where creativity can flourish for both a new tenant and for the general public.
The project is currently in master planning as we apply for Historic Tax Credits, and we will soon begin construction on the shell of the building while we continue to find the right tenants.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
This has a nice look that will mirror the Okeefe Elevator building next door. I am not understanding the stairways though on both corners as it effectively blocks ADA access going west on Jones street. On the plus side it will be fun to watch the scooters go down the stairs to get to the old market.

Re: 1401 Jones Street
This building has been vacant for a long time...it will be nice to see that space utilized.
Re: 1401 Jones Street
Finally, glad to see more of this corridor become filled with places people will walk to/through.

Looks like the rendering they used in the press conference was a reuse of the first White Lotus rendering.

Re: New Main Library - 1401 Jones Street
Okay- that’s a good location as this area is dense and very walkable..
This also clears the way for the demo of the W Dale Clark and the future development at that site…

Re: New Main Library - 1401 Jones Street
It is indeed in the middle of most downtown residential. A bit underwhelming but I suppose they aren't working with Heritage money for this site.Omaha Cowboy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 11:16 am Okay- that’s a good location as this area is dense and very walkable..

And the good news is, we know the library system is committed to maintaining a branch downtown..and it makes sense. I never thought we’d lose a library branch in the DT core..especially with the rapidly growing population- expected to more than double by 2030…
