What is the building at 10th and Dodge that was going to be converted to condos and is now going to be turned into apartments?

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 1:21 am

that's the 902 dodge building. They are renovating it into first floor commercial, three floors of apartments, and two condos on the top floor.

I'll believe it when I see it, Swift

I've seen this building many times from 10th Street heading north, so all I've ever seen is the back side, which isn't too attractive. I was surprised by the photo above, as it is a rather nice looking building. So after work tonight, I went by specifically to see it from the front, and sure enough, there is activity there. Debris is being hauled out and put in dumpsters. Perhaps something is finally happening!

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 10:21 am

They've been working on the building since mid March. A lot of the delay came because the devlopers were having difficulty with the architect. LAst I heard the first residents should be moving in next January.

The one story portion of that building on the extreme right of DTOs picture is a private residence. There is a curved wall with "PROUTY PLACE" carved into it, and behind that is a sort of loft type condo space. It was designed by Avant Architects...you can read about it on thier web site.

Alt(Bayern)München · Fri Jul 08, 2005 12:02 am

...or you can read about above I guess! (I thoght I was copying the small picture of the outside of the building...but it copied the whole web page?)

Progress is being made on this building. The windows have all been removed and the concrete block fill-in walls on the side facing 10th Street are being punched out.

Yes, this project definitely looks to be in high gear... Roni and I were noticing it from our seats in Nick and Tony's (did I mention I really like this restaurant?

I'm thinking with the combination of Qwest Center and NOW Holland Center traffic, we could expect to see another couple of restaurants in this area... I noticed they are doing something in the former Riverfront Place sales office... anyone know anything?)

OmahaChef · Post by **OmahaChef** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 7:09 pm

Yes, I noticed that too. They've been drywalling in there for a few weeks now. Funny....I did my "Introduction to Menus" project on a restaurant in that space. It would be cool if one actually did end up there.

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 8:43 pm

Last I heard a resturant was supposed to be on the first floor of the 902 building.

But that was in May, things have probably changed a bit since then.

I can not recall the exact use/user for the old Riverfront Plcae sales ofice (in the Marriott) but it is medical oriented. I believe a small surgery center.

StreetsOfOmaha · Post by **StreetsOfOmaha** » Mon Oct 24, 2005 12:20 pm

That's kind of a random use...

Maybe there's enough money in the Old Market for a plastic surgeon or oral surgeon to locate in the area

I walk 10th Street to get back and forth to work. Â There has been a lot of activity on the first floor of this building the last week or so. Â No signs or anything yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 2:08 pm

we've got about 5 threads on the 902 dodge st building, but this appears to be the most recent, so Chef in reply to your message, here's a bit more of an update. Â After months of using the 1st floor as a storage space for construction materials for the condos, it looks like they're finally building out the space for its eventual tenant, which several months ago was mentioned to be a deli-restaurant. Â They've got studs up and cabinets/counter tops going in, and a whole truckful of drywall showed up yesterday, so my guess is that they're progressing along nicely. Â Not sure if the drywall was for the condos or the restaurant, but good sign of progress either way. Â Can't be long now until its a usable restaurant. Â They also spent tons of time (and probably money) on redoing the concrete patio and installing a railing, as if they're going to use the space for outside seating, but it faces the 480 off ramp, so I don't know how desirable that's gonna be.

Anyone know more about this deli (name? other locations?) or projected opening date? Â

Any of you real estate guys know how the sales are going in that building?

Damn, I hope the deli is good. Â If it is, I might as well just sign over part of my paycheck to them. Â I just know I'm going to get lazy and not want to cook when I've got a deli less than 500 feet from my front door.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 10:30 am

I guess I'll answer my own question here. Â They just posted a number of signs saying the 1st floor space will be Farrell's Deli and Market, opening soon.

Ferrel's Sports Bar and Deli @ 902 Dodge

New sports bar going in downtown. Its right across the street North from the Hilton Garden Inn.
Does anyone know anything about this?

Dfresh · Post by **Dfresh** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:45 pm

Douglas or Dodge not sure???

Minneapolis Boy · Post by **Minneapolis Boy** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:47 pm

If it's right across from the Hilton Garden Inn, then the location is on 10th & Dodge.

nativeomahan · Post by **nativeomahan** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 7:07 pm

This would be a fantastic location for those going to and coming from the Qwest Center from downtown! Â A nice place to go to warm up on your way to/from your car!

OmahaChef · Post by **OmahaChef** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 7:17 pm

The first floor of the 1002 condo building on Dodge is empty, and for that matter the first floor of the Ford Warehouse condos is empty. Â Either site would work for this kind of project, but I don't know as I'd be that excited about the location. Â There isn't a Qwest event every night of the week.

True, but then there are 3 hotels (4 if you count the Embassy Suites), including Nebraska's largest, within a couple of blocks, and no sports bars. Â That is a built in base of customers.

2 things - 1) the 1st floor of the Ford Warehouse is being turned into condos/offices. Â You can see some of the ongoing construction thru the glass window-fronts. Â This won't be open to the street, commercial stuff, rather limited access offices or condos (according to a buddy that lives there)

2) I drove by the 1002 Dodge condo building tonight, and this must still be in the preliminary phases of discussion/negotiations, as the For Lease signs haven't been taken down, nor has any work begun yet.

I'd love it if a sportsbar opened right there, but don't forget that we've got another sportsbar already on its way (opening shortly if I remember correctly) - Stadium Club, down next to JD Tuckers, about 2 blocks away. Â Given the location though, this place would definitely draw a crowd quicker after Qwest center events.

StreetsOfOmaha · Post by **StreetsOfOmaha** » Tue Feb 06, 2007 12:14 am

What's JD Tucker's and where is it?

On 10th, just north of Howard. Â Its a sportsbar. Â It gets a pretty good crowd on weekends, and whenever there's any sort of major local (Creighton BB, Husker Football) or national sporting event.

The same owner is opening the Stadium Club right next door. Â Its essentially an expansion that will have a kitchen (former Das Rheinland space).

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 7:21 am

I think I've got this all figured out, and then we can call it confirmed. Â Coming home last night, I looked at the signs on the 902 dodge st building. Â Ferrel's Deli and Market will also contain Ferrel's Sports Bar. Â Odd combo, but I think we now know what DFresh was referring to. Â Not 9th and Douglas, not just north of the Garden Inn, but rather 9th and Dodge, just north of the Courtyard.

Just to link my posts together, per the discussion in the rumors section, Ferrel's Deli/Market will also contain a Sports Bar, all opening soon.

Huh. Â Turns out my next door neighbor is developing this. Â He didn't give me much for details (we were just walking to our cars), but he told me the sandwiches were gonna be huge NYC deli style. Â Sounds good to me. Â Hopefully I can get a good 1lb pastrami sandwich for less than $14.99 ;)

OmahaChef · Post by **OmahaChef** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 7:18 pm

There is a sign along 10th Street now. Â It says this will open in March.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 8:24 pm

I ran into the owner tonight when headed out for a walk. He showed me around and we talked a bit. This has the potential to be the best sports bar in the Old Market area... Something like 20 flat panels, a huge oval bar (seats about 50), some nice leather lounge chairs, and a small private room off to the back for parties. If they market it correctly, this could be the place to hang before/after Creighton B-ball/UNO hockey games, as its less than a block from the Qwest. There will also be tons of outdoor seating along both the dodge st/480 off-ramp side (not so scenic) and the 10th st side (much better). Along the 10th street side is a really cool gas fed fire pit, that'll be handy for chilly evenings.

There's still some work to be done (bar stools, tables need to be setup), some stuff needs to be hung on the walls, etc, but the place is practically finished. Opening is set for the 28th of this month.

The deli/market side is also coming along nicely, but seems to be a bit further behind. It won't be huge, but looks to be pretty nice. They're still in the process of setting up display cases and the such over there, although I wouldn't doubt that they'll have this part finished by the 28th as well (it'll just be a bit more hectic).

Yesterday was the opening for the Deli/sports bar. Â I went last night & I think I found a new favorite place to hang out. Â Love the Deli and it's variety of groceries, the sandwiches are excellent and the space is wonderful. Â The bar is gorgeous!!! Â Love the lounge seating in from of the numerous flat screen TVs. I think this place will do well.
