Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

[CDixon]

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.

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

That's true!

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

Was their an announcement or news of a delay? I haven’t heard of one…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

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

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

Right on …

Ciao..LiO…Peace

Saw that they were back to working a full day yesterday right after Christmas.

The tower elevator shaft is going up another floor today.
They continue to assembly a steel structure on the ground that I believe will make up part of the first floor above the parking structure. I'm only guessing but wonder if assembling module portions of the structure steel on the ground, lifting them in to place is more efficient then hauling all the steel up, piece by piece. Obviously, the size of module constructed steel sections is limited by weight. (. Also, I'm only speculating and could be completely full of S$tt.)

Side note: 373 ft is the same height that the WallStreet Tower was to be...alas not.

Good call, would have been nice to have another building that height on the skyline.

[Huskerbum]

Hopefully we get something at least that tall at 1416 dodge eventually…

A 1,416 footer?

What a difference a year makes...

That is a huge difference, by this time next year it should be nearing exterior completion.

I deleted the terrible photo I posted earlier. Here is a less crappy photo (but still not good)...

Mutual is now visible from 72nd and West Center Road!

Nice job with this comparison photo..

Much progress for sure …

Brad..

Your photo looks good to me …

[Cermak]

Brad even this photo looks decent. 72nd and Center vantage point is one of my favorites.

[GetUrban]

Just think how amazing it will look on the same date in 2026!

[Nebraska>Iowa]

I wonder when the tower crane will get raised...and how high when it does get raised?

I would think another 2 floors or so and they will need to raise it. Eventually it is going to be 750 ft high. Last time they raised it 100 ft to the current 450 ft height.

Edit: actually looking at the difference in the crane vs the core last time they raised it, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be in the next 2-3 weeks.

[iamjacobm]

Its obviously been cool to see go up the whole time, but the recent couple floors has definitely reignited my excitement. Really starting to take over the skyline now and it is becoming visible from more angles.

I'm with you on this. I'd think we'll se a crane extension between 1/15 and 1/30. If they push it another 100 feet - to 550, it'll be about 70 feet taller than Woodmen Life.

Spring and summer will be fun with visibly impressive milestones.

[Brad]

Thanks for the comment on yesterday's photo.

So here is an east and west comparison getting back to what I posted a couple months ago about the height from different perspectives. From the East, Mutual already dwarfs the woodman and from the West, Woodman still looks fairly tall.

OWH had a story about the Mutual building, but nothing really new other than saying that the first garage "skin" panels will arrive on site this winter, around springtime structural steel should start going up. And in early summer glass and windows will start being installed.

The only other thing to point out is the blue crane will start coming down after the windows have started to be installed.

[skinzfan23]

[GenX]

One more floor of concrete and we get started with steel!

[skinzfan23]

I wonder what that big thing is that is covered up

[almighty_tuna]

Crane's got the lift jig on it; time to move up!

Is you’re referring to the blue one I think they stated that is coming down soon. (Prob this spring)

It's right here in the latest video. Is it still there or did they slide it up to the top?

It's "still there". They keep it parked just above the last tie-off to the tower.

Ahhh, ok

[skinzfan23]

Yeah, sorry I thought you were referring to the one on the blue crane ( I believe there is one there as well) but for the yellow crane, that has been there since they last raised it.

[mcarch]

I thought it was just 10 floors of parking garage... but as I count, isn't that in the 15 floor range (if I didn't skip or accidently add one)? I'm hoping that the parking garage floors will not be the same size as the regular floors, but if they are, that would mean 15 floors of parking is 1/3 of the building.

Typically office floors will be taller than parking garage floors.

[buildomaha]

I’ve been thinking about the size of this parking garage, and I’m wondering…
How long will the line of cars stretch to enter the garage every morning? And how long will MoO employees have to wait to exit every day?

It will be a pain to park in the tower for most of the employees working there….so why spend so much money building the tallest parking structure in the state?

I guess Mutual of Omaha should have bought several blocks of old brick buildings around there, tore them all down, and replaced them with big, beautiful, surface parking lots.

[Louie]

Will there only be one entrance to it?
