There are a lot of folks that dont think it fits the look of the old market. Not sure I agree exactly but thats why they went away.

Not surprising.

Yeah. Disappointing though I thought the balconies looked good.

Hmm...in lieu of the balconies a green roof top deck would be a nice surrogate.

Can you imagine how awesome sitting on a balcony, over looking the old market, would be on a nice warm evening.

Started on the elevator.

I don't think that the rents they are asking are very high. The cost of their materials + land justify the cost, and many Yuppies and Dinks can easily afford $850/month for a one- bedroom place. I think you may be underestimating just how high prices have become; I actually think the prices sound quite reasonable for the location.

Man, we pay $950 for a 1 bedroom in Albany's premier neighborhood... and it pales in comparison to the Old Market. Truly, Omahans are very spoiled when it comes to cost of living and the quality of life one can get for the money.

Steel is going up.

Post by **Brad** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:56 pm

I drove by last night and saw the steel going up! Its looking really big and that's only one floor worth of steel. I can't believe how fast this has taken off since the announcement!

I'd like to see some interior designs. Wonder when those will be available....

Framing for the apartments going up.

Wood, steel, or other?

I spoke with the developer. Both Little King and Maggie Moos will be back. The main restaurant will be a nice seafood restaurant (I can't remember if it was a chain or local).

Rumor is a successful local company starting an oyster bar/fresh seafood restaurant.

This development is looking great and is going to add great density. Perfect for the OM!

Wow, it's really coming along. Eric Wieseler is really making a mark in the Old Market, with this brand new building and the rehab of the building across the street to the north (the apartment above Wheatfields, I can't remember the name). Young guy too, only 30 years old, and already doing this great stuff.

Post by **Brad** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:00 am

That's looking good! Can't wait to see the finished start to go up!

This is how you do infill correctly. Can't wait to see it open, hopefully this summer.

My daughter & I ate at House of Lee the other day. I love what they're there on 12th & Howard, but I have to wonder about parking.

There has been no mention of additional parking, despite new apartments & a new hotel. And downtown/Old Market parking is already pretty rough. Are there going to be parking garages?

Am I missing something? I hope!

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Fri May 04, 2012 11:25 pm

5 floors of the hotel is parking garage.

Excellent! Will it be open to the public (for a price, I assume)?

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat May 05, 2012 12:07 am

Does the ParkTwo or the garage above Roja ever fill up?
