BVH Architects created plans to restore the exterior of this vintage downtown Omaha building and convert it to a mixed-use facility for two commercial tenants and two condominiums. The goal was to preserve as many historic building elements as possible while introducing contemporary interior design. A variety of sustainable practices are incorporated into the design including such things as radiant floors, energy efficient mechanical systems, vegetative roof garden with rainwater collection system and salvaged/recycled finishes and materials.
The Historic Swartz Printing Company Building will be converted to the Urban Chiral Condominiums, a mixed use office and residential building, is asking for TIF from the City Council.
Hopefully they can do something to the parking lot to the north of the building as well. But overall, I am very excited to see this building put back into action.

Yeah, perfect spot for a Jones13/1501 Jackson type building.
As of this project very cool that thy are able to go condos here. Maybe showing a slight uptick in downtown ownership.
I found two web links for this site. The 1st shows the development info the 2nd some interesting photo observations.
I can't tell how old these are former project or current project I can not locate the tif request.
I run by here literally every night and have been meaning to post pics for you guys but keep forgetting. I actually like the north wall, it's a nice mint green (the color seems a bit more brilliant in person than what comes out in the pictures), which sounds odd but with the nice new windows and all the surrounding traditional brick I think it makes for a nice contrast.
