Approval of an Amendment to the
DOWNTOWN NORTHEAST REDEVELOPMENT PLAN to expand the Plan Area
LOCATION: An area generally bounded by Chicago Street on the north, 17th Street on the east, Dodge Street on the south and 20th Street on the west
So no Kiewit, Mutual, First Data.... I know West Corp is having issues, so would they have the stability to move to a downtown office? Perhaps CHI? Valmont?

This is vague, I know, but I have a pretty good track record om here so I hope I'm given the benifit of the doubt.
I'm going to work on finding out more.
Why "no First Data"? They've got hundreds of people scattered around town, and I'm not aware of any downtown location.Garrett wrote:So no Kiewit, Mutual, First Data....

First Data's larger locations are production related, and wouldn't likely move to an office tower.zippy wrote:Why "no First Data"?

My mistake. I thought First Data still had a location in CPP.zippy wrote:Why "no First Data"?

I won't doubt it, but I am wondering what all they would move downtown. There aren't a "huge" amount of what you would think as traditional office workers...for building that size. Lots and lots of call center folks and production folks though, doubt they ever move production.Omaha Cowboy wrote:If the employer in this latest scenario is First Data..
All I can say, is that it has been a well guarded internal corporate secret.. Our friend Catherine must be getting scoop from inside- most likely the mayors office/City Hall ...

Very true- There are plenty of call center and production employees peppered through about 7 Locations in Omaha.. This is not so much the case at their corporate Omaha “HQ” campus at AkSarBen Village.. It’ll be interesting to see if this rumor grows legs...MadMartin8 wrote:I won't doubt it, but I am wondering what all they would move downtown.

Well, the call center folks are at the Pacific street location (south west building on the corner) and the old mill-ish location if I remember correctly. Those I could see moving to a building downtown depending on the layout. The production floors, however, have a lot of security requirements and heavy machinery, I doubt those move.Omaha Cowboy wrote:Very true- There are plenty of call center and production employees peppered through about 7 Locations in Omaha..

Legit don't know that yet. Rumor has been 250k sf+. HDRs downtown plan was only 180k. Unless you're trying reverse psychologyMTO wrote:Well no high rises then. Bummer.

Those folks were being phased to other buildings and or phased out by the time I left the company. Kinda wonder how many are still left in 6902. Also, A LOT of space in those buildings was not being used.zippy wrote:Even though FDR sold the 6902 Pine Street building to UNO, it is still occupied by FDR folks.
