There was more than one building on the property? I thought there was just a concrete storage building.

Hopefully they go so fast they forget the pitched roof.

I am loving the pace of this project.

Looking like there will be a pretty large surface lot at this one. Kind of a bummer.

At least it's on the back side with alley access instead of right on the street. But I agree based on the renderings it looks like a large lot.

2nd floor all framed up.

Framing all done. Not looking forward to the pitched roof installation, but still a good infill project for the neighborhood.

I was wrong about this, they had one more floor to go. It definitely will have a presence.

Photo update (cell phone pic). This thing is flying!

I took this picture over the weekend. Since then, they've added all of the framing and walls for an entirely new floor!

Topped out. Hoping the finishes do well, but still think it would be better w/o the pitched roof.

Kind of surprised they have a clear presence from the 480 bridge.

I shot a photo the other day that I still need to post.

If you stand on street level, you can clearly see cars on the 480 bridge over ConAgra's buildings.

Brick going up today.

Sign on site that says opening this October.

Every time I see a new post on this thread, I get hopeful that it includes pictures! Now that I'm away for work so often, I really depend on this forum to get my Omaha fix, lol.

Haha, sorry! Bluestone put this one on their facebook, but it doesn't really show much of the building.

Thanks! I need to actually start contributing pictures of stuff when I am back.

I have too much free time in the summer, need to buy a camera. Window a/c unit took first priority this summer!

I finally close on the house I am selling this Friday.... Hopefully that will open up a bunch of photo time for me!

Thanks for the update and welcome to the forum!

I think everything above the brick is going to be white siding like on the Towns.

With whats been built so far it looks more like the first rendering than the second.

There is very much a pitched roof, it looks exactly like the 2nd one in person.

Signage up and most of the exterior cladding is done. From Bluestone's facebook.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Sun Sep 23, 2012 3:58 am

Sod, trees and landscaping are all in. Balcony railings are maybe halfway done. This can't be too far off from opening.

All in all it looks like a really solid project just south of downtown. I am expecting the trend to continue to stretch in the area. Lots of un/under used properties in the area.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 6:00 pm

Looks like someone might have been moving in.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:23 pm

Pretty sure this building is sold out.

They also have a new piece of art on the East side. Giant hammer striking a nail
