Jeffrey Robb WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The developers could potentially expand that allotment if it proposes a Main Street-style layout and multistory buildings that mix office, commercial and residential uses within individual buildings, the city says.

Cunningham wrote that the project is proposing an office park with isolated commercial and residential parts.

“The proposed uses are not mixed, let alone integrated,” Cunningham wrote, “and none of the buildings contain multiple uses to be considered a ‘specialty’ mixed-use area.”

Maggie O'Brien , World-Herald Staff Writer wrote:The construction of a tri-faith campus in southwest Omaha officially kicked off Sunday despite a lot of wet, mucky ground and relentless, blustering winds.

The mosque, the church and the tri-faith center each will be on about four acres. The remaining nine acres are green space, including the humorously named Hẹll Creek.

It's expected that the project, when completed, will draw wide attention to Omaha.

"It's amazing that it's going to be right here in Omaha," Sherman said. "We don't know of any other place in the world where this has come together."

The synagogue is scheduled for completion in August 2013. The mosque, church and center will come later.

Just over a year after crews tore down the clubhouse and cleared the land on the former Ironwood Country Club site, the developer of Sterling Ridge said the project’s first residents could be moving in as soon as this fall.

The development on the 153-acre site, which is expected to cost between $200 million and $250 million, will eventually include homes, condominiums, offices, restaurants, shops, a hotel, an assisted-living facility and a tri-faith religious center. Most of that won’t become a reality for several years, but Chip James, owner of Lockwood Development, said the first office space, the headquarters of Millard Refrigerated Services, is on track to be completed early next year.

Still better than a Golf course.

Temple Israel will move into its new west Omaha synagogue this month, a major step for keeping the congregation strong and for developing a site shared with Muslims and Christians.

Backers say the synagogue's opening is evidence that the interfaith site, an idea that started taking root about eight years ago, will become reality. Plans call for building a church, a mosque and a center for all faiths near the synagogue as part of a tri-faith project.
