Hehe I think it sounds like the name of a tree house built by the children of the corn. There's something super creepy about it. It's too warm and fuzzy to the point of being smothering. Like being hugged tightly by your crazy aunt who takes church way too seriously. Those hugs are the worst. Like a snake she constricts so tightly that you begin to lose consciousness whilst choking on the noxious vapors emanating from her mouth--the result of rotten wine, acid reflux, and cool whip.Omababe wrote:But it sounds so warm and fuzzy!daveoma wrote:Agreed "Heartland" from the name should go.

Sounds like another surface parking lot.
Most likely they're planning for the possibility that they'll no longer have access to the parking on the north end of the site if it is redeveloped into something else. I see it as a positive, if that is the case, although almost nobody wants to see more surface parking downtown. Hopefully it's just a temporary solution to free-up the northern sites for redevelopment.choke wrote:Did CONAgra lose parking with all the land they spun off? Unbelievable that they need more parking after splitting town.

Together, the buildings at 808 and 908 Conagra Drive offer more than 200,000 square feet of office space with a view of the historic Old Market and Heartland of America Park and lagoon.
Among interested companies is an out-of-town employer deciding from among multiple states where to locate a substantial chunk of its operation, said Sheppard, who is prohibited by nondisclosure agreements from revealing more detail.
What on earth makes a building that Congra uses so special that it is uninhabitable by another company.choke wrote:Anyone know the reasoning behind ConAgra wanting to lease the properties and not sell them? This might be an easy lease in Chicago but if you are waiting for an existing Omaha company or outside company to lease this space, you'll be waiting 'til eternity.

Because it's 200;000 square feet which, according to that article, is about equal to the total amount of office space leased in the entire city last year.nebugeater wrote:What on earth makes a building that Congra uses so special that it is uninhabitable by another company.choke wrote:Anyone know the reasoning behind ConAgra wanting to lease the properties and not sell them?

I find that 200,000 square feet number hard to believe, even if they're referring to new leases signed last year, that seems too low. Seems like it should be more like 2,000,000 SF of new leases for the entire city. I don't have a source for the actual numbers, but it seems like a typo.TitosBuritoBarn wrote:Because it's 200;000 square feet which, according to that article, is about equal to the total amount of office space leased in the entire city last year.nebugeater wrote:What on earth makes a building that Congra uses so special that it is uninhabitable by another company.choke wrote:Anyone know the reasoning behind ConAgra wanting to lease the properties and not sell them?

Well, they were talking on Grow Omaha that the buildings and facilities weren't built to be divided up. Alot of things would have to be communal if the buildings were split up into separate offices is what I gathered by conversation.nebugeater wrote:What on earth makes a building that Congra uses so special that it is uninhabitable by another company.choke wrote:Anyone know the reasoning behind ConAgra wanting to lease the properties and not sell them?

She was impressed with the idea of putting a sand volleyball court and a couple of food trucks down by the river. You know the sand of the volleyball court would have just been filled with trash and cigarette butts.
They'll probably wait till the hype over Midtown 2050 has died down.buildomaha wrote:Please tell me someone has to know something about when Conagra is releasing their plans!
