Re: 2406 Farnam
Thanks. I believe what is going to happen has nothing to do with the demolition of Hupmobile building (which I believe will still be renovated by J Development in Council Bluffs), but the same people behind Even Hotel are going to redevelop one of the biggest blights on Farnam:Taco wrote:Update: "Approval of the HUPMOBILE & HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS TIF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PLAN" is in the August Planning Board Agenda.

Re: 2406 Farnam
I am very pleased to see this. Just getting that gas station demoed would be enough. On other hand, another Holiday Inn Express isn't exactly something to be excited about. Their new buildings are bland and look incredibly cheap. People have mentioned this developer owns other Holiday Inn Expresses, so I'm hoping that's just the name of the development company and not of what will end up in this space.

I get where you're coming from, but man......I think I'd take a freaking Check Cashing place if it means getting rid of that gas station....Taco wrote:I am very pleased to see this.

Even though it would be just a Holiday Inn Express I am ecstatic.

Re: 2406 Farnam
I thought I read on here that the gas station is on hazardously polluted ground. Is that true? What are the developers' remediation plans?
Re: 2406 Farnam
This will be a huge improvement for that corner.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the EPA will make the gas station owner pay for that. If they can't be located, the EPA will clean it up. I remember hearing a similar situation when CHI started demo for their new Creighton clinic on 24th and Cuming. They found evidence of an old fuel tank which let to the discovery of contamination. It was determined the owner had passed away so the EPA cleaned it.yard salad wrote:I thought I read on here that the gas station is on hazardously polluted ground. Is that true?

Re: 2406 Farnam
The Nebraska Department of Environmental Qaulity or some such agency supervises the clean-up of gas stations as far as I know. If the owner can be found, they pay for part of the clean-up but their is a ceiling as to what they have to pay with the remainder paid by the state. If the owner can't be found or doesn't have the $s, the state will clean it up. The clean-up money comes from an acct funded at least in part from a fee on petroleum storage tanks. I thought there was also some money coming from a fee on gasoline sold but can't nail that down right now.Brad wrote:This will be a huge improvement for that corner.

Re: Humpmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
Might need a thread split?
Also the name of that is interesting. I wonder if the Hupmobile is a part of the Holiday Inn project.

Re: Humpmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
This has a lot of people wondering. KZ LLC (All Makes) owns the parking lot to the west, and J Development out of Council Bluffs owns the empty lot next west and the Hupmobile lot, which I haven't seen as sold yet. If Anant did buy them, I hope the TIF was for the Hupmobile renovation to ground floor retail and second floor condos, or for the office space for the HIX.iamjacobm wrote: I wonder if the Hupmobile is a part of the Holiday Inn project.

Let's just hope these 100+ parking stalls are hidden. I highly doubt a garage for that few spaces.

Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
It's a nice project for the area, definitely a nicer building than the other downtown Holiday Inn. I think they could have used more matching materials, but I'll take it over an abandoned gas station and field of weeds.

He site plan on page 29 shows retail on the hard corner and the parking tucked behind the building on the south side. Good for the neighborhood.

Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
Anant moving their headquarters to the ground floor Hupmobile...
Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
Solid addition. Really stretching the urban footprint.
I am really interested to see this retail around 24th and Farnam and how it plays out. Quite a few retail bays being installed with not a ton of daytime workers or permanent residents in the area yet.

Also, despite my initial skepticism, I like this project. That convenience store is truly awful and it is rare to find a group willing to rehab such a contaminated location. The streetscape improvements and ground floor retail are really impressive as well.

Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
Maybe they'll get business from the apartments nearby...the highline is just down the street. Hopefully that's enough. I suspect this development will encourage others to build in the area.iamjacobm wrote:Solid addition. Really stretching the urban footprint.

Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
We lived in the Highline for its first two years. The lack of this kind of development is one of the reasons we left the area. There's a great study of the area as part of that document which highlights the problems. Tons of open lots, very little vegetation, low-rate commercial stuff (with the exception of International Cafe, which is great).

Re: Hupmobile & Holiday Inn Express (24 & Farnam)
As I posted earlier, that is why Anant is trying to buy up as much property in this pseudo district. They realize there are few amenities for their clientele, so they want to make sure they can do all that they can to provide this.

1) How cool is it that every suite has it's own workout area?
2) How cool is it that every suite has it's own stripper pole, sorry workout pole ?

They've torn down the structure on the sw corner of 24th and Farnam and have started digging to build the new Holiday Inn Express on 24th and Farnam. Farnam is really hopping!
