Ashley Strehle Hartman / World-Herald correspondent wrote:With more than 130 brews, HopCat boasts Nebraska’s largest selection of craft beer on tap, including a Local 20 that features Nebraska-made beers.
HopCat doesn’t carry brews from big name brands like Miller, Coors or Budweiser, but its staff can recommend beers you might like just as much. Or, likely, even more.
That four-story, 86,000-square-foot building opened in summer 2014. Olsson took about 46,000 square feet of space, leasing out the rest to other tenants, and assumed that would be enough for several years.
But a growth spurt in which the firm has acquired several other companies over the past four years has led to the addition of more than 50 employees in Lincoln, boosting job numbers at the local headquarters to more than 300 and companywide to more than 1,100.
"And we can see that growth continuing," said Olsson Associates CEO Brad Strittmatter.
Plans for the new building, which Olsson hopes to break ground on later this year and move into in early 2020, call for 67,000 square feet of office space and 5,800 square feet of retail space.
Strittmatter said the company intends to take some of the office space for itself and lease out the rest. He said he already has letters of intent signed with several businesses and will likely announce tenant names in the next couple of months.

Sounds similar to a small Fareway in sizeSteve wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 5:02 pm From the Lincoln Journal:
The 8,000-square-foot store bills itself as a full-service grocery store, with a meat counter, deli, fresh produce, a large frozen food section and beer, wine and liquor.

Capital District just seems like it was done in the cheapest fashion possible to just get it done. It’s a shame it could have been a cool area like The Yard in Lincoln.skinzfan23 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 3:28 pm I am still perplexed by the Capitol District. There are times I have been there and it was decently buzzing when there is an event at CHI or Steelhouse, but then other times it is a ghost town with no one in the center court area at all (both in the winter and summer). I haven't been down there later in the night time, maybe that is when it is busier, but hopefully they can sustain the success in the area on a regular basis.
And it's really just awfully designed. There's honestly no inviting entrance to it, so there's no reason to go there if you're just walking by on the street and don't know its there.Linkin5 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2023 9:02 pmCapital District just seems like it was done in the cheapest fashion possible to just get it done.

I agree with all your points, both this one and the one earlier. Such a great place when there's a concert or CU's playing. I wish they'd get more stuff going with the big screen. I never see or hear of any big watch parties or anything. The Yard in Lincoln and Power and Light in KC utilize their courtyard areas so much better.skinzfan23 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 12:27 am It was almost better before they finished the buildings on Capitol. At least you could see into the development. Now it’s like everything is hidden unless you know it’s there.
Something like those overhead market lights, like what is in the rendering for the civic site.Greg S wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:08 amI agree with all your points, both this one and the one earlier.

I also agree with the posts on how it's closed off and negatively impacts it. You have to know it's there and look for it. I wonder if they can do any sort of electric signs and lighting to call more attention to it. So many hotels in the area and I wonder how many missed opportunities there are to capitalize (pun intended) on them.
