11/26: 25 floors
12/12: 26 floors

Based on previous est, the building would be around 360 ft.

My guess, they can probably go up another 2-3 floors before needing to raise the tower crane again.
Appreciate these updates

Already the 3rd tallest and soon to be first. Woodmen will slip to 3rd after dominating for decades.

Finally posting to ask this, when are we thinking MOoT will surpass Woodmen?

Prob pass Woodmen in about 6-7 more stories, or about 3 months.

Might pass it in height by then but not on the skyline, woodmen sits way higher with it’s topography.

Depends where you’re looking from. From the riverfront parks it almost appears to be taller already as you can see in Brad’s photos on the previous page.

You could say that about almost any building looking at it from the right angle. It won’t actually be taller for quite a while. I’d guess sometime in the spring.

Brad, I know you looked up the difference between First National and the new Mutual site. Any idea what it is between here and Woodmen?

Tower, Ground Elevation, Feet Above Mutual
Mutual = 1038' - (+0')
FNBO = 1045' - (+7')
Woodman = 1089' - (+51')

Thank you, knew you would come through. Quite a bit more than the other two.

So with that in mind, it’s about 170 ft from overtaking the Woodmen including the difference in elevation. So probably 9-10 floors or probably about 5 more months.

A large structural steel box was assembled on the ground (northside of crane) curious to see where this will end up.

I was up in the Omaha Press Club for our holiday party on Friday, and took a quick camera phone pic looking down into the Mutual construction. The reflection is annoying, but I thought it was worth sharing given the unique perspective.

Great view. Here is an option for the reflection if you planning on going up there a lot:

Isn't the core due to move up in the next couple of days, or will that be slightly delayed due to construction?

I'm guessing they mean due to the holidays. I could see that delaying them raising the core up.

It just went up 12/12, I would assume it would probably go up either later this week or sometime next week

Yeah, I meant to say delayed to the holidays. I'd assume workers would be given Christmas off, thus delaying construction a few days.

I think this has been mentioned here before but I don't remember seeing a link. Here is a database of the tallest currently under construction buildings in the US:

Good find, it's kind of crazy to think that a building below 300 feet ranks in the top 100 nationwide, although I suppose it makes sense!

5-10 years ago, that probably wouldn't be the case, but now in the Hybrid work environment, I don't think we will quite as many high-rises built.

Makes sense. A few years ago, most new skyscrapers were office buildings. These days, every city with a major high-rise boom (ex. Nashville) seems to get a large amount of residentials. I guess it's just the world changing over time.

Pretty impressive for Omaha. Not much for Midwest cities except us, Chicago and Indianapolis.

New York is still getting a lot of office buildings. The top tier office market is still strong, it’s really just the class B and C markets that are struggling
