Tenaska
A company most have probably overlooked. Â Tenaska Inc with $6.7 billion
in sales and 500 employees (185 in Omaha) is a privately held energy company and will apparently stay that way for the foreseeable future. To put that in perspective, Berkshire's Mid American Energy did $10 billion in sales last year. Their headquarters is in Miracle Hills today. Â If their explosive growth continues, Tenaska could be a candidate for a future office construction.

Plans are under way to build a new four-story corporate headquarters on a 5.25-acre site in the First National Bank Business Park near 144th Street and West Dodge Road.
The 100,000-square-foot complex will contain central operations, key executives and engineers — the brain — of the Tenaska network whose power plants can provide electricity to more than 11 million homes in North America.

I always wondered what would have happened if Ken Lay didn't engineer the train wreck at Internorth & it would have stayed. Same thing with Aquilla. Both were really well run companies in Omaha and blew up when they moved & were wrecked by greed. On the other hand, you can't go back & Northern is back in Omaha.
When first proposed, the Internorth campus was to ultimately be six buildings. It's now Physicians Mutual.
By the way, there was a huge art collection that was on "permanent loan" to Joslyn that was transferred to Houston with the merger. Â I wonder whatever happened to it?

That is interesting stuff. Â I don't really know much about the Internorth days, but it has always seemed like one of the biggest business losses the city has seen.NovakOmaha wrote:I always wondered what would have happened if Ken Lay didn't engineer the train wreck at Internorth & it would have stayed.

If you were interested in psychodynamics, this was a big driver for the ConAgra deal. Â Basically CA owned land in downtown (where they are now), in NW Omaha by Lonergan Lake, and in STL. Â They had a meeting with the city fathers and mothers, in which it was made clear that they would leave downtown if they couldn't build where they did. Â They also made it clear that STL's location was better than the Lonergan Lake area. Â So they left the leaders of the city with a choice, ConAgra where it is now, or Jobber's Canyon and 4000 fewer jobs.
Jobber's Canyon being a collection of historic firetraps (er warehouses), the city feared another big loss of employment, so away they went.
Side benefit for Omaha, was that ConAgra paid for the lake. Â The lake had lead stained dirt down to levels below the river. Â They ended up hauling about 8 more feet of dirt out and bringing in clean fill. Â Cost a fortune and we taxpayers didn't get stuck with it.
Probably a factor in why no one wants to touch Leahy Mall dredging.

I guess my complaint is more of a problem with architecture in Omaha in general. Safe, unassuming, and box-like. I'm not expecting miracles here. We're not Dubai, Hong Kong, or Chicago. I just would like to see the larger businesses in Omaha would move in a more progressive direction with their architecture. We're getting there - for example, that one thing on 10th Street - maybe just not as fast as I would like.S33 wrote:Alright, what's wrong with it?

Complaining done.

Very true, I should at least be thankful for that.iamjacobm wrote:This will be tucked in behind a bunch of buildings already in the office park, not many people will see it other than the people that work there. I am glad they decided to stick around, not that they were ever going to leave, but there are a lot hotter energy cities that could of been attractive.

About 300 workers — coming from three different buildings — will begin work next week under the same roof at the newly constructed, $25 million Tenaska headquarters near 144th Street and West Dodge Road.
The move puts the Omaha employees and leaders of the energy company, founded 27 years ago in Omaha, into a 100,000-square-foot facility that features a state-of-the-art trading floor, more open collaborative workspaces and a lot of glass that lets in natural sunlight.

Cole Epley / World-Herald staff writer wrote:Tenaska finalized plans this week to build a wind farm in northwest Missouri that will represent one of the first wind energy projects to be owned and operated by an affiliate of the Omaha energy company.
Tenaska’s Clear Creek Energy Center in Missouri will have up to 120 wind turbines and is expected to be operational in 2020. The company estimates the project will cost $200 million to $300 million to build.

Howard Hawks stepping down as Tenaska chairman, plans to remain active in Omaha
When the company that became Enron skipped town en route to its corporate meltdown, executive Howard Hawks decided to remain in Omaha and start something new.
After co-founding Tenaska Energy in 1987, Hawks helped build an $18 billion company that now ranks among the largest privately held corporations of any kind in the United States.
Now after 35 years of executive leadership at Tenaska, Hawks is preparing to step down as company chairman. His move is also leading to a reshuffling at the top of Tenaska.
Current CEO Jerry Crouse will transition into the role of chairman of the board, taking over at the end of the year. And Chris Leitner, currently president of a Tenaska group focused on strategy and acquisitions, will succeed Crouse as president and CEO.
...
A native of Bruning, Nebraska, Hawks said the leadership changes at Tenaska will also free up more time for philanthropic interests important to him and his wife, Rhonda. That includes ongoing efforts to raise $60 million for an outpatient mental health treatment facility in Omaha.
Re: Tenaska
Good to hear he is "remaining active in Omaha". He was a staple at Creighton Games for years and the past few years I haven't seen him much if at all. I was starting to wonder if he was well.
