I heard a rumor that H&M was going to be opening a location here, but I didn't find anything about H&M when I searched the forum.
Plan takes shape for Crossroads

Jeffrey Robb WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The City of Omaha is looking to create a redevelopment zone around Crossroads Mall to help fund the shopping center’s makeover.
And officials hope new tax incentives offered across a roughly three-square-mile area will spark further revitalization of what is being called the “Crossroads District.”
Wednesday, the Omaha Planning Board will take up a proposal that would establish a redevelopment area centered on Dodge Street running from Happy Hollow Boulevard west to 90th Street, and roughly from Pacific Street north to Western Avenue.
The Planning Board will be asked to designate the area as blighted and substandard. That’s a legal label acknowledging that the area is in need of redevelopment, not a description of its physical condition.
Along with Crossroads Mall, the target area would include the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the Methodist Hospital area and Nebraska Furniture Mart. Among the neighborhoods included are Fairacres, Elmwood Park and Old Loveland.

Perhaps I don't understand redevelopment districts too well, but why does it include Fairacres and Old Loveland, etc? Not exactly blighted and it seems like it just makes it easier for someone to tear down some of the historic homes around there so that new mcmansions can be put there instead, much like what has happened southwest of 90th and Dodge.
Titos, I have no idea, however I wonder if it looks at more than just buildings, Loveland's roads may be blighted, and I wonder is there is a sewer project that needs to be done in fairacres? Â Just a guess.

That's terminology that really needs to be changed. All it is is a formality to allow for these kinds of special taxing districts, but it alienates people by calling their neighborhoods "blighted and substandard".
Who's idea for a name was that, and how the heck did it get accepted?

On Thursday, they said 27.5 acres will be remodeled and made into various shops, boutiques and businesses.
"The space will feature brands unique to Omaha," said developing partner of OTB Destination Lee Ra Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona.
Plans show the intent to keep Target and Sears, to build a Macy's and stores like H&M, Crate & Barrel, Apple, and Lucky Strike Bowling to name a few.

Did they just confirm the developer's intent to bring in Macy's, H&M, and Crate & Barrel... "to name a few?"

Inexplicably, Albany has one.
And, to be clear, Linkin, this is the new Crossroads development we're talking about, not Westroads.

Combined with a public library, hotel, offices, and residences, this project is going to create an extremely strong urban node.
Wow, a Macy's, H&M, and REI would be HUGE gets, not to mention second locations for Trader Joe's and Apple Store. I'm so glad they are really going for the gold and aiming to set this project apart, not only from other mixed-use or "lifestyle" centers, but from the other major malls in the Metro.At Crossroads, Yates told the group, several prospective tenants are in various levels of discussion with the team. Those include Macy’s, H&M, REI, Brooks Brothers, Yardhouse restaurant, a second Trader Joe’s and a second Apple Store.

I'd love REI as well but it may curb your enthusiasm a bit if turned out to be not much more than clothes, like the Chicago area locations. Â I'm sure they'd cater to the demographic and compete with Cabela's and Bass Pro, but hopefully they'd have more "outdoor gear" since they don't cater to hunters and fishermen.almighty_tuna wrote:REI!! WOOO!!! I'll be broke in a week, but ready for any spontaneous mountaineering adventure!
They thing I don't like about REI is their Downtown Denver store is absolutely AMAZING! Â However the rest of the stores look like any other big box store.nebport5 wrote:I'd love REI as well but it may curb your enthusiasm a bit if turned out to be not much more than clothes, like the Chicago area locations.

I just dropped another $300 at REI last night. :shock: I'm getting there on my hiking/camping setup though. Picked up a new sleeping bag and my camp stove. Â :D
REI would be a good get for Omaha, even if it is one of their box stores. The store closest to me is of the box variety, but they did use eco-friendly construction methods for it.

How about make a plethora of urbanites happy. I get what you mean but maybe rephrase the question. Realistically, it's unlikely to see an Apple store downtown anytime in the near future, but in an ideal world that's where it would be. Sure the Crossroads redevelopment if it comes to fruition would be a better bet, however...
An Apple store downtown would mean there'd be a development big enough to sustain such a store (and other coveted retail). My fantasy development in place of the cement "Yard" would be a mixed used development with anchors like Apple, Trader Joe's, an urban Target and of course housing above.
Yes, you have UNO close to Crossroads, but you could make a case for Creighton and the downtown demographic being a bit more Apple centric.
I was more talking out my a$$ than anything. I'm not big into Apple so I could care less. However, if there is only going to be one of something in the metro or its limited, it should be Downtown.S33 wrote:What good would it do for Apple to locate downtown over 72nd Dodge?DTO Luv wrote:Sweet.

While talking to some Creighton faculty a while back, I thought they said that Creighton had, or is slated to get, an Apple store on campus. Maybe its only open to student though.Yes, you have UNO close to Crossroads, but you could make a case for Creighton and the downtown demographic being a bit more Apple centric.
I doubt that, since they don't have that model anywhere else.

Stable genius.
They don't have an apple store but they have an apple certification program, which is a pretty big deal. It's located in the journalism / design / computing program that also houses an extremely impressive server run through apple's servers. Apple execs from Cupertino are frequently at the department. So I'd agree on the demographic fitting well downtown. I hadn't heard of an Apple store coming to the school though.Fromaha wrote:While talking to some Creighton faculty a while back, I thought they said that Creighton had, or is slated to get, an Apple store on campus.

There not everywhere and seemed to be tied in with bookstores, but a lot of them are called Authorized Apple Campus stores.
