I remember in this thread mentioning a possible Macy's...
from what I've heard, Macy's will not operate in the same state that has a Younkers as they both are the same company. So as long as we have a Younkers, we will not have a Macy's... Â but you never know... Is a Macy's much different from a Younkers anyways?

Something just struck me. Younkers is owned by BonTon. Macys used to be known as Federated, which also owns Bloomingdales. By the way, there are states where there are both Macys and Bloomies, so the premise is untrue.

That's what I get for listening to a person instead of looking it up. Thank you lol... I should've known if I search for sioux falls, sd mall they have both as well. It's still surprising that we don't have one though.NovakOmaha wrote:Meridian Mall, Lansing Michigan.

From better authorities on this topic than me this is pretty much how I have heard Omaha right now ranks. Â Just for department stores.
Von Maur
Younkers
Dillards
JC Penny
Kohls
Gordmans
then whatever else.
Been told Nordstrom's would be the best in Omaha and Macy's would be interchangeable with Younker's. Â This is some information that I remember from a conversation probably 2 years ago now though.

Macy's isn't the upscale store it used to be, however, you will see that their merchandise will vary from low to high depending on the surrounding market/demographics. Â Incidentally, Marshall Field's is no more and have all been rebranded as Macy's much to the chagrin of Chicagoans. Â So as this point ranking the stores in Omaha would be speculative, but I'd go with this...
1. *Nordstrom's
2. Von Maur
3. Dillard's
4. *Macy's
5. Younker's
and honestly who cares after that?
*assuming they eventually open stores here.
And for what it's worth, I'd rather have a Nordstrom's Rack over Macy's and probably even Nordstrom's.

City Councilman Pete Festersen says the biggest transformation will be turning Crossroads Mall into University Village. "We're on track for the $300 million redevelopment of Crossroads, which is very exciting for the area and also for the entire city."
Festersen is meeting with the development team periodically. “They're still actively marketing, but have had substantial interest from new to market retail that I think will be great for Omaha. Right now, they're anticipating construction in 2014 and 2015."

Yeah. Â Omaha as a city has something like $600 million in announced development in the "planning stages."MadMartin8 wrote:Let's add this to the list of "Waiting projects" that probably won't come to fruition in the next ten years, along with Shamrock and the Southport things.
I'll believe it when I see it.
City faces ‘hard work’ to get state help on Crossroads
Juan Perez Jr., World-Herald Staff Writer wrote:Omaha officials want new state-based incentives to spur efforts to redevelop Crossroads Mall and the surrounding area.
A plan to bring a bill before the Legislature next year, however, doesn’t yet have the support of the City Council. A lack of specifics in the proposal drove the council to delay voting Tuesday on Mayor Jim Suttle’s request to endorse such legislation.
...
Omaha’s interest is aimed squarely at reviving the Crossroads Mall area and the 72nd Street corridor to Interstate 80 as a massive hub for retail and housing activity.
“This whole area is now in the center of the metropolitan area, and it needs a renaissance,” Suttle said.
...
Developers want to “de-mall” Crossroads, maintaining anchor stores Target, Sears and Barnes & Noble while turning the enclosed mall into open-air shops, offices and housing.
“It’s, to me, a huge mixed-use development with all the things we would see at Midtown Crossing, probably times five,” Suttle said.
The development would feature ample public space, because it’s likely that any new incentives could solely fund public infrastructure improvements.
“It could be a street, sidewalk, parking, a fountain, trees, whatever,” Suttle said.
Crossroads’ developers still are negotiating details such as leases and holding talks with tenants who might occupy the new development.
Updated figures on the potential cost of the Crossroads project are being developed, Suttle said, adding that he’s pushing to find out how much the developer is willing to invest.

Even TIF is maybe too much. Â If you are sitting at the huge intersection, and you have a big lit up sign on that intersection avertising your facility's specials, and you have a large national chain on the east side, and a large one on the west side, and you can't make it, maybe TIF is asking too much? Â Afterall, The TIF money comes from sales and property taxes that won't be collected from a major retail space for a long time. Â This money will be collected when this facilty is also in it's prime sales generation years.Greg S wrote:I'm all for the redevelopment of Crossroads but I think the developers are asking a bit much here. If they can't make it go using only TIF, might be time for someone else to give it a go.

It's a smart move. Why take on all the risk when you can have the taxpayers finance some of the project for you?Greg S wrote:I'm all for the redevelopment of Crossroads but I think the developers are asking a bit much here.

It's definitely a smart move on the investors part. Â I don't think it's a good move on the taxpayers part....

TIF has absolutely nothing to do with sales tax. Â The desire, however, is to be able to tap into that as a new source for funding.bigredmed wrote:Even TIF is maybe too much.

This month, Omaha's Planning Department will hold a public meeting on the city's redevelopment plans for the 72nd and Dodge Streets corridor.
The city's interest is aimed squarely at reviving the Crossroads Mall area and the 72nd Street corridor to Interstate 80 as a massive hub for retail and housing activity.

Until threatened businesses in the area succeed in squashing any hope of them getting a liquor license for outdoor activities. Then it will just be The Lot.MadMartin8 wrote:Axel wrote:The Lotse of Parkinge at University Place.
It'll be "Yard²". The squared means its more awesomer.

I didn't go, but this article says the packets passed out will be online next week. Â Other interesting comments from the developer.

Trader Joe's? Â A hotel and that many residential units would be great as well.“I can tell you we will have a gourmet grocery,” Yates told Jeanne Penry, who asked whether the planned outdoor mall would have a supermarket.
Yates also said the redeveloped mall would include space for local retailers, a 135-room hotel and 400 to 500 residential units. “We're going to do some luxury apartments and some condos,” Yates said.
