This one project won't solve anything, but it will be a really small piece of the total solution. Right now, any rain that falls on the bank property runs right off in to Saddlecreek. Any new project will need to collect that water and slowly release it in to the storm sewer system. Enough new redevelopment will help ease the problem, but it still doesn't change the fact that they built a road right down the low spot of a valley where the water wants to run naturally.daveoma wrote:So how would the hotel mitigate the periodic flooding of Saddle Creek?

Re: UNMC Hotel
I saw a drawing again of the hotel that will be north of the Clarkson helipad with the swing radius of the tower crane. I'll see if I can get a image posted. Also, by this time next year, there will be 6 tower cranes on/around the campus.
Re: UNMC Hotel
How tall did it look?
Re: UNMC Hotel
Couldn't tell. It was a schematic drawing of an overhead view. I hope to get a better look at it later this week. I was told earlier this year that it would be 8 stories. But that was also before soil samples were taken.
Re: UNMC Hotel
The tower crane that will be used to build the hotel on campus will be 185 feet tall. Will be put up in May.
Re: UNMC Hotel
I am sure others know more about the usual height of crane vs building but I would assume that means over 150ft building likely.

Re: UNMC Hotel
It's common to erect a tower crane with an underhook height up to 50'-75' more than the height of the building being erected. That provides room for 20' or more of rigging, height of what will be lifted, plus room for clearance.iamjacobm wrote:I am sure others know more about the usual height of crane vs building but I would assume that means over 150ft building likely.
Re: UNMC Hotel
I think we are kind of talking about two projects here. For the hotel on Saddle Creek it is moving forward in the Planning Board.

Re: UNMC Hotel
TIF approved by the planning board. Overall project cost is $15.6 million.
Re: UNMC Hotel
Excited for this one to move forward. Will really up the curb appeal on Dodge and help make the med center area look even more dense.

Re: UNMC Hotel
So it sounds like both hotels may be moving forward?

Re: UNMC Hotel
Yeah that's what I was gathering. I think the area could definitely support both.Seth wrote:So it sounds like both hotels may be moving forward?
Re: UNMC Hotel
102 rooms 105 parking stalls. Almost $2.6 million in TIF.

I think this is the right hotel thread. The brand will be Home2 by Hilton.
If this isn't the right one, can someone move it to the correct one?

Re: UNMC Hotel
That exterior is pretty ugly. It looks..well like a hospital from the 80s.
Re: UNMC Hotel
While they are less than 2 blocks away from each other, this is not the UNMC hotel. Also, the concept drawing of this hotel looks much wider that the first concept drawing. Wonder if they have bought out the houses to the East.

Re: UNMC Hotel
They just talked about this on Grow Omaha. Sounds like it is progressing along...
Re: UNMC Hotel
Yeah I named this before any info came out about Nebraska Med building a hotel on campus. Probably could have a thread title change with this project getting a brand now.MSizlack wrote:While they are less than 2 blocks away from each other, this is not the UNMC hotel.

Re: UNMC Hotel
Good brand for that location, but lets hope the final result looks better than that.
Re: UNMC Hotel
So I take it the conversation of the Saddle Creek corridor into a water feature is entirely out of the plans. I hope they build a waterproof basement.

Re: UNMC Hotel
I don't think it looks that bad. It won't win any awards, but it's not awful.

Re: Home2 by Hilton (Saddlecreek & Dodge)
This is a cliche response from me probably, but a small retail bay on the corner would of great. Nothing gigantic, just imagine a Starbucks instead of that green space and the crowds they could draw from the hospital.

I agree. I think the proportions fit pretty well.RNcyanide wrote:I don't think it looks that bad. It won't win any awards, but it's not awful.
I do think a coffeshop in the corner would be a big hit. I could see it being popular with med students.
Re: Home2 by Hilton (Saddlecreek & Dodge)
TIF approved.
Re: Home2 by Hilton (Saddlecreek & Dodge)
Hope this is still moving forward. This and the apartments further west would really dress up Dodge St.

Barricades blocking the half dozen entrances here. Would presume demo is soon.

It doesn't look like "parking" will cause this project the doom of having its plug pulled ..

Re: Home2 by Hilton (Saddlecreek & Dodge)
Yep, sewer shutoff permit was issued last week. Demo permit will surely follow.
