Sample testing was being done yesterday on site.

Does soil testing mean site prep is officially underway?

I dunno lol

Grow Omaha is reporting the tower crane went up for the Admin Building.

Is it the crane for the admin building or the parking garage?

Soil sampling means prepping for site prep is underway. IE the med center is spending $50 million to make sure they can actually do this expansion and if for whatever reason it’s a no, there’s still an easy off ramp before spending $1.2 billion.

Ah, got it. Thanks for explaining.

I guess I’m not sure. Aren’t they right next to each other?

[Nosebot]

How tall is this supposed to be now?

Pretty sure It's still just 6 floors.

Weird that it grabbed me as the author of that comment?

The tower crane is for the garage. There is a crawler crane setting steel for the admin building.

Probably deleted the wrong tag. Fixed it to point to the correct one.

Steel went vertical yesterday on the corner closest to Saddle Creek and Farnam

Buildings along Leavenworth around Barrett's Barleycorn are demolished, leaving big holes in the ground. Is that just for future development?

Eventually, yes.

I just noticed that there were 2 houses on the south side of Leavenworth that have also been demolished. Just looked them up and they were owned by the Univ too. I didn't realize they were buying houses on that side too.

[Flyer14]

They announced earlier this week they will tear down 4 houses on the south side of Leavenworth. In the meantime all the properties they tear down on both sides of Leavenworth are to be landscaped.

Coming along…

Coming along…

Whoa!!! We’re halfway there!

[thenewguy]

Drake Williams was awarded the steel contract for the expansion. I've seen the renderings but not sure if I'm at liberty to share.

Which expansion? Are you talking about Project Health? I thought they were not at that point yet to start contracting for construction.

[thenewguy]

Whatever this is

[Louie]

Huh, thats the same location as the proposed tower.

[Garrett]

It’s an earlier rendering, I’ve seen it somewhere before

[Mjs5050ss]

I believe this is the rendering that went out for bidding.



Some contracts are signed.

Thanks for the update. Last time I drove by they were just starting the 3rd floor.

[skinzfan23]

Didn't we have the newest renderings posted here of the expansion on the campus?

Those are on the Edge District thread, there’s too many damn threads.

There are only 2 threads, one for UNMC and one for the Steel Castings Redevelopment/Edge District.

[skinzfan23]

Thanks, I totally forgot that it is called the Edge.

Sorry my comment was slightly tongue in cheek although this project does continue to confuse me with how much stuff is going on.

No problem. The only reason I never merged the two together is the fact its more of a mixed use development being developed by the hospital, rather than actual hospital development.

Things must be progressing in the background for Project NExT; I found an ad on LinkedIn that Kiewit is hiring for a senior scheduler position.

...current assignment is on upcoming Project Health (NExT Phase 1), a billion-dollar replacement hospital project in Omaha, NE.

Great shot, this area is going to change a lot in the next 5-10 years

[Cermak]

Great shot Brad , you can see the new Hampton Inn on the far left side of the picture. A lot of good density in the Med-Center/Blackstone area. Especially for a metro of our size.

[iamjacobm]

Always great when Brad gets above the city!

Just for ease of comparison the previously posted rendering from this angle.

[Athomsfere]

I hope this rendering only forgot about the Lied tower...

[HighWinds]

I hope this rendering only forgot about the Lied tower...

It's a bit hard to make out from that distance, but is there a different, smaller building in LTC's place?

[2Adam29]

I see lied tower, it just looks more rectangular in this rendering than it does in reality.
