206th and Pacific

Southwest corner used to have a house on it. Now house is gone, trees removed and lots of dirt work being done. Any ideas?

Looks like Stonecreek at Blue Sage will also be in this area, being built by Meak Farm LLC. 12 buildings with around 22 units, 3 garages and a clubhouse.

204th Street is about to take off. Development has been approaching 204th for some time on the east and is starting to jump across to the west more and more. With the new neighborhoods and apartments such as these, I'm expecting to see the commercial side to start to pick up. Especially now that most of the West Dodge corridor up to Elkhorn is either developed or under development.

And 204th is one of the corridors in the master plan that is planned for larger developments:

The Future Land Use Element of the Master Plan allows for the office/commercial portions of a Community (80) acre mixed use area to extend up to 1/4 mile in all directions from its designated intersection. The Plan also allows for Community (80) acre centers to extend up to 1/2 mile from the intersection (along West Dodge, West Maple, West Center and 204th Street) if one of the following conditions are met: the developer of the Community (80) mixed use area also owns or controls all or part of the adjacent Community (165) mixed use area to the 1/4 mile or if an existing project such as a church, school, or multi-family housing etc... fulfills the gap requirement, or if it can be demonstrated that a physical feature such as a regulated drainageway, floodway, wetlands, etc... exists that fulfills the gap requirement and would prevent the construction of commercial development. The Future Land Use Element also states that generally convenience, neighborhood, community (60) and community (80) mixed use areas should be no closer than one mile from each other.

Awesome! I love how the "flood" of suburbia is spilling over 204th Street -- a sort of past western "fence" or "edge limit" no longer able to hold in the growth of Omaha. Thats one thing I miss about Omaha: Watching it build up and push further out. Yet, its nearing that Elkhorn River Valley barrier -- which kind of bums me. However, its probably healthy the sprawl is steering more towards the NW and S/SW into Papillion because of that barrier. There's something about the suburban sprawl & march of West Omaha through the decades... (I have a batch of Omaha maps from the 1960's onward...) I'm not sure Ive come across another city with such a strong "Keep pushing west!" pattern & mindset (with street numbers pushing higher & higher, and people using those numbers in conversation to converse about how much Omaha is growing and branching out). It's always been exciting to me. I also think Omaha has great housing styles & good-looking residential design.

The first three buildings will be built soon.
