TD Ameritrade Old Mill Campus

RockHarbor · Post by **RockHarbor** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:12 am

I am excited they are building this! Yeah, Ameritrade! Right now, the crane towering over the area has a horizontal beam about the height the 230' building is going to be, I estimate. With it going to be about the height of the DoubleTree Hotel downtown, and a similiar-shaped block, it is going to be a really tall, significant structure for that area, making all the I-680-lined Old Mill and Regency buildings look pretty short (the Regency Center is only 5 main floors, topped with a smaller-shaped 6th floor). If a 12-story, 230' building looks that tall in that area, it really shows how low-rise West Omaha is, even with all the suburban office blocks we have. I hope this prompts more significant suburban towers in the future, and makes people think "taller" when it comes to building a suburban office building. I also love the new suburban "downtown" forming down on Harrison and I-80.

Totally agree when about the height in suburban areas. I would love to see a 10-12 story tower end up in the FNB business park off of 137th and Dodge some day. It makes a great statement about the vitality of every part of the city not just the main core.

Yes, we definitely see eye-to-eye. It is exciting. Starting way back, I've always liked to see the black, simplistic Omaha Tower office block standing tall on 72nd, outside of downtown, with its expansive, grassy lawn, and to think we now have the sharp & high-tech Aksarben Village development buildings nearby, too. And, now the slick Ameritrade going up. And, of course, we can't forget the glassy Pacific Place buildings and the sharp office buildings on West Dodge with the high-design facades, colored glass, cornices, curved glass walls, retro accents, and multi-angles. And, we have the new sharp hotels, ect., down at Harrison and I-80, which I feel are excellent in representing a great regional design for Nebraska. I'm really much more pleased with Omaha's architecture nowadays (in both downtown and suburbs). I'm really impressed with it all.

It looks like a second tower crane will be going up.

I didn't see that this morning when i drove by. will see what's there tonight

It looks like the base south of the first crane.

I just am really anxious to see the steel frame go up (as it goes up fairly quickly). As long as I can see the full shape of the building visible by the steel frame completed, then it becomes more enjoyable to me to wait-out the rest of the construction. The base work, to me, is the stuff that seems to take a long time...

The taller of the two Tower Cranes now has a "TD Ameritrade" sign next to the Kewit sign. I am wondering if they are not testing out sign sizes for the top of the new building. You can tell there is something different up there from the I680/I80 Junction, but you definitely can't make out what it says until you are right next to the construction site.

Forms are up, lining segments of the "basement" of the tower. They've been pouring into them for a week or two now.

Are there any updates on this construction site?

almighty_tuna · Post by **almighty_tuna** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:27 pm

Near as I can tell, they're still doing more of the same - pouring foundation walls. I haven't been down there since Saturday though.

Post by **Brad** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:41 pm

The cranes are moving around all day long, but I have yet to see anything going vertical.

Just drove by this morning and it's SSDD. Foundation walls are being poured and rebar is being shuffled around. Don't see any steel on site.

The first steel column is in place, I expect the steel will be going up fast soon.

nativeomahan · Post by **nativeomahan** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:44 am

I saw that as well yesterday. Portions of two floors are up.

Nice. That thing is right on the road. Here is one I shot with my cell phone yesterday afternoon:

The last two Sunday mornings, on my way to Christ Community Church at the south tip of Old Mill Office park, I notice the building of the steel frame for the lower levei of (or the open plaza under) the TD Ameritrade's new corporate headquarters tower - Starting at east end, 108th street, and working west towards the creek.

In other words, starting on the underside of the right end of the tower as pictured from Easter Sunday 2010 Omaha World-Herald article "Brokerage firm trading up"

The Old ACI Worldwide building to the south, not yet torn down for a parking lot, is being used as a construction office.

Hard to tell from the pictures....is the last full floor the 2nd or 3rd floor?

Post by **Brad** » Wed May 11, 2011 3:55 am

I think its 2, but I am not positive...

almighty_tuna · Post by **almighty_tuna** » Thu May 12, 2011 3:19 am

Yes, they've built two full floors. The section closest to Old Mill Rd seems to be a 2-story atrium thing, and to the back where the shorter section is they have built a full second floor.

Post by **Brad** » Fri May 13, 2011 3:46 pm

The steel for the third and fourth floors are going up now.

It's beginning to look very impressive from the overpass.

Anyone know if there is a construction camera set up for this project?

Next 2 floors going up![/i]

How many floors are they at right now?

Post by **Brad** » Fri Jun 17, 2011 9:39 pm

Not sure, I will count next time I go by. These two should easily put it over 1/2 way.

The view from NB 680 between Center/Pacific will be fantastic, too!
