158th and West Dodge Office Project
Nice little project for the West Dodge Corridor.

Completing a very dull stretch of office buildings.

Not covering the foam insulation is an interesting way to save some money on construction costs. Not sure how durable it'll be though.

We had one. It was called Peony Park. We couldn't bring ourselves to keep it nice. Till we are willing to enforce laws and norms of social behavior in this city, we have no reasonable chance to have something like that.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
The foundation for this building is partially done and a crane is on site.

In a way....kind of reminiscent of the old National Indemnity building at 31st & Harney, just south of the recently-demolished Clarinda-Page.
He said "They are some big, ugly red brick buildings"
...and then they were gone.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
I always pictured a bunch of guys wearing green eye shades & #2 pencils, sitting there crunching numbers for Buffett. He makes such a big deal out of having such a small headquarters office staff and not doing a ton of due diligence when making a purchase. I just figure that after the purchase the boys in that building attacked the balance sheet and p&l. Of course I could be wrong.GetUrban wrote:In a way....kind of reminiscent of the old National Indemnity building at 31st & Harney, just south of the recently-demolished Clarinda-Page.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
Hopefully this building doesn't turn out looking like that. I hate that time period of architecture.
Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
Whether you like it or not, some of those mid-20th century modern design cues have made a comeback recently. I call it the Mad Men effect. (if you watch that A&E show, you'll know what I mean)
The National Indemnity facade is well done as a composition in my opinion, although some parts don't age too well without meticulous maintenance.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
I know it just my preference, but I like the late 1800's - early 1930's and the brick that come with most of them. I also really like the sleek glass modern building we see today. I am just not a big fan of buildings with few or small windows.
Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
The 'International' style of architecture was a bad time. You get some good ones, like the Woodmen and the smaller First National, but there are a lot of bad examples of it. Rectangular-tubular buildings with lots of steel or concrete and smaller windows.skinzfan23 wrote:I know it just my preference, but I like the late 1800's - early 1930's and the brick that come with most of them.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
I would respectfully disagree it was a "bad time." Just like from any designated "style" from any time period, there were some true masterpieces created and also some complete |expletive|. The Woodmen is okay, but not the best modernist example.
Here's one of my favorite masterpieces....
The pure simplicity of that work is very difficult to achieve. Like any other style, it gets copied over and over and the original ideas get lost in translation.
Personally, I like having a wide variety of different styles to look at, from 1880s brick warehouses, to 1900s Beaux arts, to 1920-30s Art Deco, to Mid-century Modern, to 1990s-2000s deconstructionism such as work by Frank Gehry. They each have their own merit.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
Probably so, but that remains to be seen....seems a waste to trash a 41,000 SF, 6-story building, with an assessed value of $3,270,200. It depends on the needs and design of new development on the site. ....sorry, I'm getting off-topic for this thread, it will probably get deleted or moved now.iamjacobm wrote:It will almost certainly face the same fate as it's former neighbor to the north.GetUrban wrote:Whether you like it or not, some of those mid-20th century modern design cues have made a comeback recently.

Re: 158th and West Dodge Office Project
Building looks good, but it needs to be moved forward more and have more landscaping. The parking lot right in the front kills it.
