I shot most of them from the ground 15th st. is closed, so I was able to walk right up to the fencing. The elevated shots were taken from the parking garage elevator lobby.

NW corner of 15th & Douglas. Ordered a combination tripod/selfie stick so I can get above the fence next Friday.

Its a great view. A guy I know has been shooting updates from the Press Club and you can see the parking garage in the foreground of all his photos. I have been meaning to get down there and check out the garage but I'm so busy right now, I never find the time to get down there.

I had been meaning to get down there for months and felt the progress was significant enough to capture.

One of the pictures shows the Big Ol’ Hole camera above Jimmy John’s

in the 2nd video, I noticed everyone was walking kind of half-speed. I was sort of waiting for the cool movie explosion type scene as the hero walks away

Drove by this morning around 6:30am. The workers were already out there. With flood lights lighting up the site. Pretty impressive.

Had to slow it down, I was moving too fast

Drove by again this morning at 6:30 am as I am dropping my wife off at work due to her recent surgery. I noticed they have lights on the large yellow crane pointing down. Which totally lights up the construction zone. I think they plan on doing a lot of work during nighttime as well as day. This is really starting to look impressive can see the garage ramp taking shape on the north side. Exciting times for Downtown for sure.

On a side note, lost my job today for being autistic and my dad is in the hospital. You know what they say…

I like the sign that says "future boarding zone" for the streetcar.

Looks like there's been a name change to the Big Ol Hole in the Ground!

Downtown Omaha Erection goes much better than than Big Ol Hole in the Ground in my opinion.

Did this project just get “harder”?

I'm guessing it must be really excited!

With the rebrand, we should just throw a little blue pill in and see what happens

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, I believe the middle core section that’s covered in yellow moved up a floor?

You are correct but I think you meant to post this under the Mutual of Omaha tower thread and campus redevelopment thread
