Loveland Centre (90th and Center)
Moderators: Coyote, nebugeater, Brad, Omaha Cowboy, BRoss
I think this could probably be moved from the rumor section to development. For those who get the actual WH paper. The bottom left corner of the front page of the business section today stated this "Coming Monday Since June 2005, An Omaha real estate development company, Slosburg Co., has been assembling land at 90th Street and West Center Road for what it describes as "a high-end, mixed-used development.""
I think I am about to proven wrong but I will reserve final judgement for Monday. If this is really mixed-used then this is a good sign when developers take their own initiative to create these projects without the proding of city planning.
Congrats....this makes another "you heard it here first."

Also from the article:
So the rumor still exists that something may also happen across the street.Omaha World Herald wrote:Price declined to elaborate on the statement to clarify whether the northeast corner of the intersection, which a Slosburg partnership also owns, was included in the planned redevelopment. Two tenants in the strip shopping center there said they either couldn't comment or had not been told what the company plans.
No kidding, as bad as that corner was starting to look, and as high as the prices of houses in that are, its a great investment. There are $1,000,000 homes within a mile of that corner."We think the corner of 90th and Center is an outstanding in-fill opportunity," Betty Price said in a written statement. "We are in the planning process for a high-end mixed-use development. As our plans progress, we will make a formal announcement."

Not too surprised but I am hearing rumblings of nimbyism from some in the neighborhood. I guess they would prefer a shuttered pie house and a dethrowned king of burgers then a high end development. We all know what happens when property gets developed right?? Your kids disappear in the middle of the night, taxes immediately increase 10 fold, and the sun is forever blocked from reaching your yard thus killing all your pansies....speaking of which...uhhh never mind.
I am simply amazed at how people will complain about the side affects of sprawl but will block any attempt to curtail it.
Let's hope the developer is able to win over the Nimby's before they derail a seemingly wonderful project!!

I went to Westside from92 to 96 and they were there then.

I was with David Slosburg today and asked him about this project and he just laughed. It seems that everyone is asking them about it. He said there would be a couple buildings here - but the latest plans were rejected - I didn't ask by whom. What we already know - Mixed use - First floor retail, a few floors for offices and 5 or 6 for condos. I asked him about the VIP wash and he said that after the World Herald article came out that the asking price for those other buildings all of the sudden got a little pricey.
The strip mall across the street will be renovated so it will be staying, and they have their eyes on the Gas Station there. They want another building there. He was a very nice guy.

Yeah, this kinda dovetails what someone said the other day. While the reporting of rumors and scoops are nice, it has consequences. Once the rumor broke the neighbors got up in arms before he was able to finish (secretly) buying land. They heard a tall building was in the works so they got all excited. Wasn't it supposed to be around 10 stories originally and the project was supposed to include both sides of 90th. I wonder if neighbors are the ones who rejected his plans. Inevitibly the neighborhood will have to endorse it or they will fight it. (see 72nd Walmart) District 66 has strong and active Neighborhoods who aren't afraid to fight. I sure hope we don't have to settle for a single use strip mall because it is safer for the neighborhood kids. (note sarcasm)
I am not surprised to hear that the prices went up. I actually thought about that when the rumor broke. Not saying we should scoop things and talk about rumors (I do love them) but they do have consequences. Okay sorry about the rant. (I am sure I am guilty as the next person and I sure do enjoy reading them) (stepping off the soapbox........okay done)

Just to stir things up again
- I would not have believed it unless it came from my father and then I verified it -
Slosburg now owns all the property west of 88th St and 90th between West Center and Arbor
i.e. everything behind the strip mall with Senor Matias and Schloeman's Lamp less the Southwest Bank of Omaha building and their ATM drive thru.
Now I know that David Slosburg personally told me that they were going to renovate this strip mall, but maybe he has a good poker face.
Stay tuned my friends.

My little company rents from Slosberg across the street from the development - (right above Sr Matias)
I have appraised and used his projects in the past and if past performance has any indication on future events - He TYPICALLY does not care about the costs associated with a project and is only concerned about the end product. He could have easily rented out those buildings until he was ready for development - but thats not how he works. Slosberg sees things 10 years down the line and doesnt concern himself with the pennies. (pennies to him is alot to me - but thats why I am not a successful developer).
From my understanding - The plan is likely to create a very high end mixed use development on the west side of 90th - and once that is up and going - he will do the same to the east side.
And I am sure that VIP is going to be gobbled up. Did anyone notice the fake flowers they put in the yard? I think that was a try to get people not to notice the huge whole in the neighborhood - the fake flowers didn't work.
To Mr Slosberg - our landlord - I say I salute you. I wish more developers had the ability to see so far down the road. The only thing I would ask - is to TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THAT DEVELOPMENT! We kinda like where we are!

and when he is done I hope he moves south of center and takes on that area. Can you image what kind of mega mixed-use area one could create if they used all of the retail and office land south of center from 90th to the areas east of 84th and then down to the interestate. It has to be much larger than Akarben Village.
Here is another area that should incorporate a signature clock tower and plenty of bike ammenities like racks and chairs or benches for one to sit down. I hope he realizes that this is right a long a major bike trail.
EDIT I would also include a bridge that ties in with park across the creek.

First things first: Â I am REALLY glad to see that Burger King torn down. Â I used to work there for about a year and a half, so that sentiment probably shouldn't come as a surprise to many. Â I walked over the tile floor after the rest of the building was gone, and the smell of grease and fat still hung in the air over it. Â Mind you, this was weeks after they had torn the building down, which saw several days of heavy rain as far as I remember. Â Lots of memories in that place, some good, some bad, others just plain gross. Â ;)
Now, an update: Â The rest of Putt-Putt (that is, the concrete course itself) was torn up because kids kept skateboarding on it. Â Also, the property's surrounded by plastic orange fencing with "No Trespassing" signs on it. Â It appears that the VIP Car Wash building was purchased by Russel Speeder's Car Wash shortly after this thread's last post. Â (As was the one near 114th and Center, with the bonus creepy rotating statue of 'Mr. Speeder'.) Â In light of this, I don't think it'll be part of the new development, at least not for a while anyway.
Has anyone heard anything new about this?
