Just off Benson’s main business strip sits a 70-year-old warehouse stained by oil and filled with dust. To Jeff Dolezal and his partners, it’s the next frontier — a place TACK- architects is buying after growing six years in a startup incubator in Omaha’s north downtown.
The agency’s planned move from leased space to a place it will own and shape into Bin 61 marks not only the maturation of a local agency, but also another stride for Benson.
TACKarchitects will bring a professional office hub to what largely has become an entertainment-centric commercial area. More office users are expected to follow, as more structures are set to rise in the area or be converted to offices.
TACKarchitects stands out in that it plans a roughly $1.5 million investment in an old auto dealership warehouse at 2922 N. 61st St., sparking a different use on the less-traveled industrial artery off the Maple Street corridor.
The architectural group plans to use about half of the 8,500 square feet and lease out sections to office users including a videographer and a private foundation. In all, Dolezal expects up to 30 people to work at the site, which is scheduled to open early next year.
