Chef, I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm pretty sure that's the crane for the Children's Hospital expansion, not 80 Dodge. Â Wrong side of the street. Â Children's is south side of Dodge, 80 Dodge will be on the north side. Â Just goes to show you the density that will be in this area once it is all complete.OmahaChef wrote:I was out around 76th & Dodge yesterday, and there seemed to be a big yellow spinning crane up at this project. Unless there is something else being built right near it.
80 Dodge

LOL! Â Yeah, I definitely felt out of my element. Â Thanks for the correction. Â From where I was standing it looked like it was on the north side, but now that you mention the CH expansion, I can see where it would have been there. Â Dodge does make that curve up that way.
Always a business-oriented city hungry for growth and focused on development with laser intensity, Omaha aimed high, reached for momentum and found critical mass.
80 Dodge is truly a monumental development for Crossroads area. Â I can not wait to see the condos rise from behind the newly remodeled shopping center. Â I think that this development will do wonders for the baby boomers who are ready to move past the house and are not thrilled with the idea of living in a truly urban core.

The lower floors reserved the quickest and now we are getting a ton of interest in combining larger units near the top. Â So I would say the reserved units went for around $200,000 and $500,000 with interest in the +$750,000 range.S33 wrote:Is there a certain price range in which those are reserved and is there a common demographic reserving these units?adam186 wrote:Close to 30%
Oh yeah, what is the reservation goal to get this project up and going?
The goal is typically 40% to 60%, but depends which units sell and a number of other factors. Â If we sold the top floor or a few very large units near the top, I'd say we'd be ready to go. Â The lead developer has a very good track record with the banks.
I can only assume you (npdodge) are keeping records of previous prospects right?

"The lead developer has a very good track record with the banks" Â Â Yes, I've heard that.

Omaha condos face more scrutiny

CHRISTINE LAUE WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:A few Omaha condo projects could break ground later than originally planned, because lenders may require a higher percentage of pre-sales and potential homebuyers may hesitate to commit.
Still, experts say the strength of the local economy and the fact that the condo market is in its early stages set the city apart from other markets.
CHRISTINE LAUE WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:The two projects facing higher pre-sale requirements are 80Dodge, a 12-story condominium project at 80th Street and West Dodge Road, and Riverfront Place, a project north of downtown with one tower completed and nearly sold out and sales under way for the second tower.
Both are expected to break ground in 2009, but the uncertain economy makes it hard to determine when NP Dodge will hit the pre-sale requirements to start building, he said.
Of 80Dodge's 56 units, 14 are reserved. The project is about 25 percent pre-sold, but Redfield expects it would need to pre-sell about 60 percent in order to close a construction loan.

This headline from Omaha.com says it all
"80Dodge condo project is called off"
All I can say is this is just another piece of bad news for Omaha, along with the announcement of no swim trials in 2012 and the Royals moving out of Omaha proper... not a good day news wise, even though this may not be surprising.
At least the developers are planning on having the a four-story extended hotel (which was mentioned earlier in this thread by cdub) going into the space this was planned for, but still this was such a great plan\idea that this is just sad for this area. A hotel will not have the same effect development wise as the Condo tower would, plus it almost 6 stories shorter....

80Dodge condo project is called off
CHRISTINE LAUE WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER wrote:Developers who had planned a high-rise condominium project at 80th Street and West Dodge Road instead plan to build a four-story, extended-stay hotel and two single-story retail buildings. The hotel's demographic studies showed a need for an extended-stay hotel in the Dodge Street corridor from 72nd to 102nd Street to accommodate nearby employers and hospitals, Slusky said. The new plans call for two single-story retail buildings west of the existing strip center and planned hotel. Slusky said they would be an extension of the plaza with multiple tenants, not stand-alone single-tenant retailers. The new plans call for slightly more retail space at 19,000 square feet, compared with the original plans of 16,000 square feet.

I don't think this will be much of benefit to the Wallstreet Tower project. The area around 80th and Dodge is much more suburban area with shopping, restaurants, medical facilities and easy access via West Dodge Rd\Dodge St versus Downtown, where there is a current lack of shopping and dining options (outside of the Old Market) and is in much more of an "urban" area. I have a feeling many people that signed on for 80Dodge were looking for the urban-style of living, while not actually living in Downtown Omaha, and probably were people who worked along the Dodge St corridor or further west along the West Dodge Expressway. In the future this area may be the home for a condo project much like 80Dodge (there is a lot of promise here), but for the time being it looks like we have to live with a four-story hotel and even more boring single-story retail buildings.... which doesn't do much for me (there are already plenty of single-story retail building (a.k.a strip malls) on Dodge).10thstgoober wrote:I'm not too upset about this.

With the Omaha Children's Hospital expanding and being as successful as it is, an extended stay hotel in that location probably isn't a bad decision. ÂBig E wrote:In fairness, the condo market was never saturated. Â It just looks that way when no one has any money to lend.TitosBuritoBarn wrote:Oh good, another hotel. Let's saturate that market too much like we did the restaraunt market in west Omaha and apparently the condo market as well.
Despite the disappointment of not having a 12 story highrise, what will be built is infinitely better than another strip mall with "helicopter pad" architecture, as OmahaChef puts it.
This sucks! Â I was looking forward to something with more substance than a strip mall...
