Sounds like a great idea.

Post by **Brad** » Wed Nov 04, 2015 8:29 am

Awesome!

We are going to complement our unmatched, full-service meat department by offering an expanded seafood section, artisan cheeses, high-quality wines and craft beers

And within walking distance of my house!

This is the first two paragraphs of the November 7th Omaha World Herald article on the new Meat Market at Loveland Centre

Fareway Stores to open gourmet meat shop at Loveland Centre[\B]
http://www.omaha.com/money/fareway-stor ... 35cd6.html

Fareway Stores will open a gourmet butcher shop next year at Loveland Centre, near 90th Street and West Center Road.

The 6,000-square-foot Fareway Meat Market — the first of its kind for the grocery store chain based in Boone, Iowa — also will sell complementary cheese, wine, beer and spirits, and is expected to open in the spring. The 56-foot meat case, which will also offer a large seafood selection, will be about 50 percent larger than the typical Fareway grocery store counter, spokesman Garrett Piklapp said.

I would love to see them do this all over the metro area. It would be great to have this on West Maple.

So, I am presuming this will be in the large southern bay...

In driving past the Dunkin Donuts outbuilding the other day it appears that there is a divider wall being built inside the structure, separating the eastern half of the building from the western side. Progress continues in fits and starts on this building.

What is the store on the southern edge of the property?

The Dunkin Donuts Building or the Bank?

Oh, maybe it is the dunkin donuts.

Did this development gain any square footage over the building that was there before? It looks about the same size, just with a nicer facade and probably higher ceilings.

If so, it's negligible. For the amount of time that this lot and the lot across the street sat vacant, the product delivered by Slosburg has been really poor.

I must say that the anticipated project had a lot higher hopes than this.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:25 pm

It might be the same size, but it looks about 8 billion times better than what was there.

The one west of the road will be the interesting one. That's the one with the grand renderings a number of years ago. I am not sure they ever had anything anything other than this planned for the east side.

Taco · Post by **Taco** » Mon Dec 14, 2015 2:38 pm

Do you have any links to those renderings? While they probably won't happen, I'm very curious. The rumor I've heard forever is that Slosburg is sitting on that property until Sunset Golf Club agrees to sell, when he'll develop them both as a mega parcel.

I don't work too much on the front end of projects so I don't remember all the rules, but I am not sure developing the golf course is still possible. Almost the entire golf course is in the flood plain and I think the rules have changed and you can only fill (raise the ground out of the flood plain) a small part of that. For some reason I am thinking its around 20%. If that's the case, 80% of the golf course would still need remain in the flood plain. Parking Lots can be in the flood plain, but buildings can not, or you need really expensive flood insurance.

Looking at the flood map, all of west side of the 90th and Center development is in the flood plain too, may be that's the hold-up?

Didnt the Corp redesign that stretch of the creek to make it faster? A friend from church was telling me that the overall engineering paradigm on that project was to get water moving as fast as possible to drain the flood plain ASAP into the MO. I would thing that if that was the case, they would look hard at anything that would alter the flood plain they have designed.

Post by **Brad** » Mon Dec 14, 2015 4:02 pm

I guess I don't know and I don't deal with them that often, but I guess I have never seen them get smaller. This particular branch of the creek runs all the way up through Bennington to the city of Kennard. While new neighborhoods and commercial developments should be detaining their water and slowly releasing it, the major roadways will probably add to more runoff as they are widened and could make it worse and not better.

Construction update:
Work has finally begun on the Fareway meat market. Several additional dumpsters onsite, and workers are doing concrete cutting inside, in preparation for piping/electrical runs in the floor.

The outbuilding looks fully enclosed, so I'm sure the trades are hard at work inside. Metal stud walls are up, so its likely at the plumbing/electrical stage now.

The Bella Mia salon is taking their sweet time getting things completed. Would have thought they would have been open a couple of months ago. Still plastic over the windows, so no clue how close to completion they are.

NICE! The fareway will be a great addition to the neighborhood.

Dunkin Donuts and Planet Sub are moving in.

Planet Sub sign is up...

nativeomahan · Post by **nativeomahan** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 7:36 am

So is the Dunkin' Donuts sign.

Post by **Brad** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 8:58 pm

Couple things.

So far, the Dunkin sign is on the south side of the building, but the planet subs sign is on the north side of the building. I am guessing they will both have signs on both sides of the building when they are done.

IS planet Subs getting a Liquor License? Looks like its "posted" on a west facing door.

Dunkin is Done on the inside. They have the menu boards up, tables and chairs in and it looks ready to open. I am sure there is still training that needs to be done.

I had just assumed that Dunkin Donuts would get the font bay, facing 90th Street. I'm pretty shocked that they aren't. All of their other structures face the street.

I'm guessing its so they don't end up like the old Taco Bell on 71 and Dodge where the drive through is on the wrong side of the car? The City requires a certain amount of "Stacking Distance" for the drive through lane and its probably the only way it worked.

That said, I am still surprised its a bay in a "strip mall". I figured they would go free standing.

A Fareway sign has now gone up. Somewhere I noticed that this specialty store does not plan on being open on Sundays.

Did they put up a large sign on the west side of the building? Yesterday it was just a small sign on the north side, above that plaza area.

I don''t think any Fairway stores are open on Sunday.

They are not

Post by **Brad** » Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:18 pm

Planet Sub has 2 signs (North and South)
Dunkin has put up a third (North, East, and South)
Fairway has put up a second sign (North and South)

Never seen a construction where the signs went up at such different times.

Dunkin Donuts has "Now Open" signs out front...

While Planet Subs has yet to officially announce an opening date, they seem to be implying from FB comments that they're shooting for this weekend or sometime next week.

nativeomahan · Post by **nativeomahan** » Sun Apr 10, 2016 12:51 pm

The Fareway signs are difficult to read. They should have thought through the font or size before approving the design. And while they were at it, the color.

RockHarbor · Post by **RockHarbor** » Sun Apr 10, 2016 9:57 pm

I think it is absolutely lovely. (Because it is so lovely, the "Loveland Center" title fits, imo). That 90th & Center looks so extra-nice now. That plaza doesn't look like it "cut any corners" when it came to materials, and it shows! Great, great job to the designers and builders, imo. That really adds a nice touch to Omaha, imo.

I was shocked when I walked in the door and saw Infusion and NBC on tap! It was only noon on a Sunday, but I had a Radial IPA just because I could!

When we were there, it was wall to wall people.
