I think this retail center turned out fairly nice... there is a decent mix of interesting (mostly local) tenants.

This is "comming soon" to this area

I had dinner at Ellada's a while ago - great Greek food!

Is this the first phase? I heard there is a lot more to come. This is a rumor I heard ages ago, but the major tenent was to be a major upscale retailer new to the area, I can't remember which it was, maybe sacs or something.

There is a lot of interesting exterrior features on this building. It also has nice landscaping. We will call it a Unique strip mall.

Apparently the new construction underway on the southeast corner of Legacy is for Rockbrook Camera. I guess this means they are moving from their location across the street from Rockbrook Village.

Yes, I heard the same thing.

It would be confusing, "Hello, this is Rockbrook Camera, at Rockbrook, or did you want Rockbrook Camera at Legacy?" if they kept both locations.

I know I have ranted about Rockbrook Camera's customer service in the past, but I'm singing a new tune now. The last few times I've needed a specialty piece of lighting or camera equipment they have been extremely helpfull. A total turn-around from what I have experienced in the past.

With so many online Photography retailers offering more products at next to nothing profit margins, it's great that a little store like Rockbrook can stay in business.

Where is this shopping center located?

The Legacy RockBrook Camera (under construction) location is at the SW corner of 168'th and West Center.

Thanks for the catch lonnie..

I had Rockbrook Village on the mind..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

There is a sign up saying COMMING SOON Rockbrook camera at the new location. Does anyone know for sure that this is a reloaction and not an additional location? I would assume as close as it is and as specific a market it covers that it would be a reloacation but you never know.

There is a Rockbrook Camera still in Lincoln isn't there?

I believe it's a second location in Omaha. Their store on 108th was actually built for them, because they were at one time literally inside of Rockbrook Village.

Also, just to the west of that property you guys will notice they've begun surveying and marking for Silt Fencing - this is where the Lifetime Fitness will be going. And wow, you guys need to check that place out, http://www.lifetimefitness.com - they're freakin' huge!

Huh....so it kinda looks like they've scraped their master plan and will sell to whoever will buy the land and put something nice on it? What happened to the parking garages?

I noticed today that "Noodles & Company" has closed in the Shops of Legacy.

The 'noodles' fad is fading I guess.

This is a great location, high visibility from 168th and West Center.

Holy thread revival Batman!!!!!!!!!

Noodles really screwed Bear Properties - as a matter of fact, they literally came in on a Monday & had a sign company yanking down all of their signage, removed all of their outdoor dining furnitre, and boxed up all of their product inside.

The story from one of their district mgrs. who I "caught" inside tearing out stuff that day said Noodles owned all of their Omaha & Lincoln stores corporately, and they sold them off as franchises to one guy. He didn't like the Legacy location, and therefore didn't want to buy it. So Noodles just closed it down. They didn't even give Bear Properties the consideration of notifying them a day in advance. They simply called & said come pick up our keys, we're closing! W T F?

In any case, the district mgr. said they might be looking at a spot within 6-12 blocks of here, up to the west of us. What a joke! Obviously, everyone here has noticed that Nothing but Noodles also is "gone". Newman, who owns the 2 Omaha stores, decided to drop their franchise ties, because of cost. I've heard they're much better under the new name.

Although being part of a franchise has its perks, there's a few examples of the "no fun" part of it. I know some other people in Omaha that have territory rights to some very well-established companies, and many locations, and they, too, don't like the way the franchise is taking them...

Anyone want in on the OCC???

The noddles place north of West Center has gone through a few name (ownership?) changes as well. I believe it's currently Newman's (sp?) Noodles (presumably unrelated to the actor/salad dressing guy).

I guess it was just too quiet to notice, but phase two of The Shops of Legacy is well under way. The steal framing is all up. I found this "pre-leasing brochure" with renderings and a site plan of what they're building...

Second Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar to open in Omaha

http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3 ... d=10410338

NICHOLE AKSAMIT WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:Omaha seafood-slinger Greg Lindberg plans to open a second location of Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar — in a new bay in the Shops of Legacy, west of 168th Street and West Center Road — this November.

"We don’t want to make it a chain," Lindberg said Tuesday. "But a lot of our customers live further west, and they have constantly been saying: ‘When are you going to be closer to where we are?’ That’s why we’re doing it."

Unlike the original at 119th and Pacific Streets, this one won’t have an attached Absolutely Fresh Seafood Co. market.

Shucks is a really great little restaurant.  I am glad to hear they are doing well.

Shucks Fish House Oyster Bar is opening a second location in the Shops at Legacy.  According to their help wanted ads, they plan to open in less than 3 weeks.

That was in the paper on Aug 19,2008

Hmmm...so I guess I need a better handle on the search facility here.   It did not come up for me.  And I am DEFINITELY sticking to east of 72nd!

I think they were all in the dining notes section of the OWH a week or two ago.

Not to start a Spell Cow-esque pissing match, but I've never seen a search feature as useless as the one on this site.

I have never had a problem with the search function here. I have always found what I needed provided I spelled it right.

If they want to further their 'urbanization' efforts over there... they need to build a parking garage.

Grading like crazy between existing shops and lifetime fitness.   The entire area....something significant being added there.   Who knows what it is?   More shops?  Is there a site plan?

That website seems to be for a development in Texas.

That link is for the Shops at Legacy in Plano TX. I used to work very close to there. Much more upscale than anything we have here.

Right website... bad URL.

I heard through the real estate grapevine that it's a new apartment complex...the rumor also included that it would include "section 8 apartments as well".   I heard the same thing about "section 8" in regards to the apartments built off of 108th and Harrison on the east side of cimmaron woods..not sure if either are true, but am sure that the space between the Upstream (west) and Lifetime is for a rather decent sized apartment complex.

Springs at Legacy Commons:

They seem to have begun construction on the apartments.

I live nearby, but only recently realized they were building apartments here.  Kind of sad... really had an opportunity to make something special... but instead, they just plopped a garden variety suburban apartment complex alongside Legacy.  Should have at least taken a design cue from Aksarben Village.

New websites up. Apparently they are part of a national apartment chain. They're the last nail in the coffin for what was supposed to be a cool new urbanist development.
