Settlers Creek (NEC 72 & Cornhusker)

[eomaha]

The Fricke family sold off huge tracts of land which eventually became all of the 'Eagle' developments along Cornhusker east of 72nd (ie Eagle Ridge, Eagle Hills, Eagle View, etc).  This latest transaction leaves them without their farm house/barns... 160 acres of the land on the northeast corner of 72nd and Cornhusker.

As with the 'Eagle' developments, this latest project is being undertaken by Rogers Development.  Called Settlers Creek (the Fricke family settled the land in 1858, starting out in a sod house!), it will include 227 homes priced at $275,000 and up, 26 acres of park, 10 acres for a future school site, and 24 acres of mixed use commercial development.

It did not say the price, but they will be able to buy any house in sarpy county. It will be a lot different without this landmark on the corrner.

The Fricke Farm is long gone. Rogers Development's Sign blew over in the Tornaodo. Rogers also developed, Eagle Hills, Eagle Ciew, Eagle Crest. Mike Rogers Dad also use to own the old airport that was along cornhusker, any longtimers remember that. Here is the view opened up from 72nd Street.

Looks like they will be building houses by spring

I noticed a lot of construction activity northeast of 72 nd and Cornhusker in Papillion.  Friends who live nearby told me that it is a new Sam's Club and Hobby Lobby going in there.

[thenewguy]

Idk that id go that far.  they (sams) are looking at an area near shadowlake along/near hwy 370.  and they havent finalized anything on a 2nd or 3rd sams in omaha.

Sam's Club is considering a third metro area location in the Settlers Creek development northeast of 72nd & Cornhusker Road in Papillion.

Just got this anonymously dropped in my email!

Hobby Lobby
Big Lots
Sam's Club (which is the big un-named building)

I wonder if that is a 'new' Hobby Lobby or if they are moving from 84th.

I would assume they are moving.  That is way too close.

I would assume they are moving.  That is way too close.

And nobody is in the old Walmart Bay? or the old Summer Kitchen?

Nope, its almost all empty over there.  I think there might be a subway or something...

Not saying they won't build at cornhusker, but this week there were executives out of bentonville that were looking at an area around/near 370.  There are plans for an additional Sam's in Omaha that will be north or northwest (again, there are multiple parcels in consideration).  Based on warehouse club models, profitability is largely (and majority) based on membership revenue.  They want to have as much space as possible between the 3 Sam's in Omaha so that when they segment the current member base, there isn't a devistating impact on the current (and sole) Sam's member base.  The difference of even a mile changes the member radius in such a way that you're talking about potentially thousands of members difference.  $40 member fee x 2000 people is a difference of $80,000 in revenue from member fees alone.  Change the member base by 10,000 people (moving further away from the current Sam's), and you're talking a difference of $400,000 a year revenue impact on the current Sam's.  Part of the 132nd street location's member base was impacted on the southwest side by the opening of the new Lincoln club (for such places as nebraska city, etc), so they will want to make it as even as possible.

I'd be curious to see which location is decided for sure, but part of the allure with 370 is the fact that it is already a destination...and obviously price will have an impact on which land is picked up.  Sam's paid a handsome price for the new club in Lincoln, and they aren't in the habit of over paying for land every time they build.

As a side note, the parcel near Cornhusker was also a largely talked about Neighborhood market location (they have plans on having several additional built in the next few years), even though the footprint is much larger than what a typical neighborhood market is (40-45k sq ft).

Any new updates confirming that this will be a Sam's Club?

[Brad]

Any idea what is being built in front of Kohl's on 72nd south of the Panda Express?

By that way, that is the Market Point Development, not Settlers Creek

Third Omaha-area Sam's Club to open in 2014

http://www.omaha.com/article/20131001/MONEY/131009886

The new store at the northeast corner 72nd Street and Cornhusker Road is expected to open in fall 2014, company public relations manager Mark Scott said. It will include a fueling station for members, a pharmacy open to the public, a photo center and “Click 'n' Pull” service that allows members to submit orders online and pick them up in-store.

Damn you Omaha-by-Design! That could have been our soulless warehouse store.

I have to say, while it was a soul-less warehouse taking up quality Dodge St. frontage, having a Costco at 120th & Dodge, with fuel, was very handy.  We have lots of Costcos in the Detroit metro but none very close to us.  Sam's wise, there is one not extremely far but it's still not as handy as the Omaha Costco was.  With that one I could literally run out for milk and only milk.  Now it's a once every three or four months & stock up trip, if that often.

I guess I was looking the wrong way when I passed by here today, I didn't think there was any more room in this are, but to the south of Walgreens and Hobby Lobby there is plenty. They must have had a wall up on the south end of the parking lot. I will have to check it out again.

[Brad]

Grow Omaha reported that they could be breaking ground within a week.

The land where the Papillion Elementary School was supposed to go is being replatted into, if I remember correctly, into 19 new residential lots. This can be found on Papillion's Planning Department Website.

Construction kicks off on Papillion Sam's Club
From the World Herald:

More than 100 people will be hired to staff the 136,000-square-foot store, which is slated to open this fall at the northeast corner of 72nd Street and Cornhusker Road.

“That's becoming a high-traffic corridor,” Black said, which he expects to draw other businesses. A Brakes Plus is already under construction just south of Dunkin' Donuts.

Not the best pic, but they have an obnoxiously tall construction fence and I didn't have my element to stand on the roof.

[Coyote]

One can only guess what is going in on this corner...

[skinzfan23]

All of the walls appeared to be up on the Sam's Club this afternoon when I drove by. It looked like they were working on the roof.

[skinzfan23]

Looks like they have made good progress on the Sam's Club. Maybe someone can take a picture soon.

I was just in the Walmart on 72nd and Giles and say the reps from Sams club asking people to sign up so they can go to the new store when its built.



And does anyone know what happened to the plan to have a Sams in NorthWest Omaha?

[thenewguy]

There were a couple locations that didnt pan out. they still want to add a club but it wont happen in the original time frame they had anticipated.

[skinzfan23]

Yesterday I was at the Walmart Neighborhood store on capehart and they stated that the Sam's Club at Market Pointe is scheduled to open September 25.
