Any truth to this? This would be somewhere around their parking lot possible then in the direction of the baseball fields to the west

Yes, check out earlier posts in this thread. That was passed many moons ago...

Good thing it is for emergency only... Â Traffic on 114 is thick after 5...

This looks like a great building and Omaha is lucky to have them in a part of the city that is pretty centrally located when TD Ameritrade could have built along the 370 or past 200th and Dodge. It is fun to see the tower driving north on I680 when coming over the hill by Pacific Street.

Oh lordy, that would have been awful if they built waaay out in the wild wild west. A bland, nondescript sprawling suburban campus - ick.

I wonder if companies are noticing the exurban office developments, Coventry at 204th and Q in particular, that aren't living up to their potential and deciding the exurbs aren't the way to go. Coventry was supposed to be a mixed use development with offices, shopping, and residential developments. Five or so years later, it's just ACI's building, a partially completed lake, and a few houses in the middle of nowhere.

You have to think that the major market for the house next to the office would be people who work in the office. Â Pretty hard to swallow working that close to home. Â What if you get RIF'd or the job sucks and you move on then have to look at the place every day.

Just finished up with the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Had the governor and mayor give speeches beforehand. I'll try to post some pics later.

It looks kinda frosty. If it were a container, I'd be tempted to pour a glass of scotch into it.

The HQ building has been officially designated LEED Platinum certified now. Next will be to become Energy Star rated.

Over the past year, it's saved 50% on energy alone.

The City Council has removed the "blighted" designation and has now removed the TIF for the surrounding improvements, that being the trail bridge.

So now that the "Blighted" designation has come full circle, did it even affect the neighborhood one bit?

You didn't know 114th is the new old Park Ave now?

It is a pretty cool building to check out if you ever get a chance.

Cool. I'd love to see inside of it. I've walked into the entrance before, and it looks really sharp in there. I'm happy that Ameritrade built such a tall building along I-680 and they have such a great company.

This is my "beef" though: Overall, I like the design, but I'm not sure how appropriate it was to set a green, rigidly-rectangular building like that down in that Old Mill area -- in the midst of 60's middle-class housing, and mirrored-glass 80's suburban buildings around it. It is not sensitive at all. The backside particularly bugs me for Old Mill. I wish the "ticker tape" windows were confined to only the narrow sides, and the horizontal strips of windows on the front were repeated on the back. Like others here, I like it all better at night. I've forced myself to start liking it, as I have to zoom by it on Dodge all the time, and it is "here to stay" in my hometown. That's the power of architecture in motion -- right there. Actually giving me a "thorn prick" as I drive by on Dodge -- every time -- along with my dislike for the elevated Dodge Expressway in that area. I used to be fond of 114th & Dodge in the 1990's. (And, I'm not the only Omahan that dislikes the elevated freeway and those windows.) That's why we have to be very careful what we approve, and really study the design, and think about everything, imo.
