The current/future state of 1416 Dodge
This thing has been empty for years, i'm getting sad looking at it. I wasn't sure what to search in the forums but i'm sure there is an extant thread on this already. I know there was going to be some type of development here long ago, but haven't heard anything else since then; I am starting to worry it will never be used.

After the HDR debacle, good luck. OPAS has nothing to do with this lot, but they succeeded in showing any suburban companies that it's a huge pain in the aśś to build downtown.

Ideally, I would still like to see a residential high rise whether it be apartment or condos, or a combination of both.

And there's no reason why we couldn't get one there they are trendy right now they're popping up all across the country. But they better hurry before the economy turns these building booms are always punctuated by economic folly.Linkin5 wrote:Ideally, I would still like to see a residential high rise whether it be apartment or condos, or a combination of both.

Are there restrictions from the city for what can be built on the lot? It seems like such a prime location (skyline wise at least). As I think about it though, some tiny project there would be pretty underwhelming.RNcyanide wrote:http://tackarch.com/portfolio/1416-dodge/

For the time being, the land downtown is salted ground.symphie wrote:Are there restrictions from the city for what can be built on the lot?

Re: The current/future state of 1416 Dodge
Land in Aksarben Village is running low, but if you are plunking down 500 employees, you are going to catch a lot less resistance there, than downtown.
Between people who would kill children to preserve an antique light fixture and the rich power brokers who want to throw their weight around, you are correct, land down there is a long walk for a short hike.
I would not bet on downtown development for the next 5-10 years.

Meanwhile in most midwestern cities downtown has become red hot.

Re: The current/future state of 1416 Dodge
I wonder if there is some sort of aversion to living in DT for a lot of the city's residents. I did have someone tell me that because there is more room to "build out" rather than "build up" (in comparison to other cities?), that is what most businesses are doing expansion wise.MTO wrote:Meanwhile in most midwestern cities downtown has become red hot.

Re: The current/future state of 1416 Dodge
There's just not much reason to live in downtown versus our great midtown neighborhoods. There's a huge contiguous stretch of great neighborhoods in Midtown: up north Country Club, Benson, Dundee; central Midtown Crossing, Blackstone, and Field Club; southwest Morton Meadows and Aksarben. Downtown, by comparison, almost feels like it's on an island, and it's a fairly small area.
Downtown currently has nothing to its east, minimal infrastructure to the south, and one of Omaha's most depressed neighborhoods to the south. That's not a foundation for success. If Playland Park in CB takes off and if North Downtown continues to add residents and if a streetcar ever runs up and down 10th and 13th Streets, downtown might become the place to be, but until and unless those things happen, I expect most of the city's development energy to be focused on midtown areas.

Downtown isn't nearly as barren as these comments are making it out to be. Nearly $300 million u/c right now and there is always something in predevelopment that John Q. Public isn't aware of.

But this forum would not be consistent with what it's evolved into in recent years if we didn't have the gloom and doom negativity...

Future site of the EOmahaforums world HQ. A 45 story building complete with first through 10th floor Hyvee, interoffice light rail and BRT between floors, and observation deck/|expletive|-o-drome on top for comparing ourselves to Lincoln or Des Moines.

Re: The current/future state of 1416 Dodge
Not far south, just the area immediately south of downtown. 16th and 20th Streets are not attracting investment, and investment along 10th St has been tepid compared to Omaha's midtown neighborhoods. When you combine no immediate neighbors to the east, a north downtown area that still has a long ways to go, and a small consumer base immediately to the south of downtown, you're sometimes going to struggle to attract investors to the area.Linkin5 wrote:What neighborhood are you referring to in South Omaha?!riceweb wrote:There's just not much reason to live in downtown versus our great midtown neighborhoods.

That said, I agree with iamjacobm, I love our downtown. I just see some a few hurdles for downtown that our midtown neighborhoods have not had to face.
