1501 Howard St
Just noticed today that this building (currently occupied by Copycat) is for sale. I would love to see it restored similar to the Meyer and Raapke building (where Wilson and Washburn is now) on 14th and Harney.
http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/18905079 ... -Omaha-NE/
$862,488
35,640 sq ft.
It would be great to see someone buy this and replace the windows and take off all the ugly brown paint on the brick.

Re: 1501 Howard St
That building would probably look fantastic if they pulled all that paint off.
Re: 1501 Howard St
Very cool building!

That would be a great spot for so many things... I hope it falls into the right hands.

Re: 1501 Howard St
That building has a ton of potential. It's sad to look at it now. How the heck could anyone consciously decide the piecemeal "improvements" made to it over the years were a good idea? Just goes to show you that buildings rarely look any better than they did on the day of the ribbon cutting, at least until a savior comes along.

Re: 1501 Howard St
I would wager something startup related. Maybe an accelerator program goes here.

Great to see it sold. Hopefully they get rid of that ugly brown paint and restore all the windows.

Re: 1501 Howard St
Love that something is finally happening to the building. Not sure what the yellow paint is in the middle of the building on the rendering. I would love for the paint to all be completely stripped off to the original brick.
According to the loopnet listing, this building will be 125 years old in 2017.
It would also be nice if the parking lot across the street to the north (behind the Orpheum) could be redeveloped as well.

Re: 1501 Howard St
Storied history is unearthed while planning restoration of downtown Omaha building
The Pyrovolakis property, it turns out, had been built originally as a carriage factory for one of Omaha’s pioneer blacksmiths. Among other owners were the prominent George A. Joslyn and Allen C. Scott, who invented a version of the modern parachute.
If all goes as hoped, the three-story structure would open in 2018, renovated into 20 market-rate upper-floor apartments and two ground-floor commercial bays, one likely a restaurant.
Huge windows and 1893 patterns would be restored on the 35,000-square-foot structure. Layers of paint would be removed from the brick facade. Old elevator and fire doors would be preserved, said Joe Saniuk of AO, the local architectural firm partnering with Dicon Corp.

Re: 1501 Howard St
IF that comes close to the rendering that will be nice. In the rendering the one side is mostly grey. Is that side all brick too, that is what it looks like. Any idea if it too will be a restored brick surface or gray like the rendering?
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!

Re: 1501 Howard St
Let hope this project is still moving forward. It originally stated that the building would be ready by 2018. I don't think there has been any recent movement here.

Est completion is March 2019.

Omaha City Council approves TIF for industrial building near airport business district
assuming this is the building....that is a shame. Hopefully someone else can buy it and come up with a design. I was really looking forward to this.At the Tuesday meeting, the City Council also held public hearings to rescind tax-increment financing for three projects that failed to come to fruition over the last few years. The council still must take a final vote on rescinding TIF for those projects.
Rehabilitation of a building originally constructed in 1893 near 15th and Howard Streets.
Re: 1501 Howard St
The original OWH article on this 1501 Howard Street property indicates that the owner bought it to restore, or if held long enough, to resell at a profit. I checked my usual CRE sites and haven't seen it. Maybe they are going to come up with another plan?skinzfan23 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 24, 2022 8:35 am Omaha City Council approves TIF for industrial building near airport business district
