Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

[nebugeater]

I didn't mean to infer or say that any individual's pics were inferior or not good in any way. Only that there were too many GLM shots and others on Abbott Drive etc. Would appreciate west bound shots from the Broadway viaduct, I 29 along the Missouri, Dodge St around 36th. Think of those poor employees at FNB. They are probably 'sick and tired" of those GLM shots that are so misleading. I know that that's life but go easy on the poor souls. As for the Woodmen the Harney at 24th St. can't be topped. What a view that is. These are suggestions not orders folks.

You are correct that you didn't infer that......

Thank you Night Train for your great update!

Ooooohh! Some nice pics there my man. It would be absolutely unthinkable to assume there'd be any copy cats lurking out there!

Maybe I'm just reading too much into the , but I think it really needs to be called out that every person involved in this website are volunteers. We don't have ads and hence receive absolutely no revenue, but pay a fair amount behind the scenes to keep things running.

Everyone who posts updates does so due to their own time/interests. We really appreciate all those who do, whether professionals or amateurs. But nobody should expect photos from anyone and if there is something you want to see, I encourage you to seek it out and post it. It's ok to say you would love to see a photo from somewhere, but please try to not act like it needs to be done.

Probably from the flyover ramp from NB Kennedy FWY to WB I-80 is a good view. I've been on it plenty while its been shorter, but its a short glance, I rarely take my phone with me while I'm out, and it doesn't sound safe. But if anybodys up to it lol. Its a good high ground view from that perspective that for all intents and purposes, both buildings are the same distance away.

That is going to be a real challenge to capture safely.

One from Friday night, sorry for the pole:

And nice pics Eric and Night Train!…

Hopefully soon we’ll put a smile on that Nebraska State Office Building

Is this what the finished towers gonna look like at night, or are they going to put some sort of tint on the windows eventually?

No, those are the super bright construction lights in there. They will disappear as the floors get finished and switched over to whatever the final lighting is. Every once in a while they remodel a floor in the woodman and it will look like that for a little while.

Thanks for the update photos.

24th and Martha St. Bridge

Did you use the lens holes one of the old time railroad photographers cut in the fence on that bridge? Both Martha and Vinton have lens holes cut every so often. I never heard who actually did it, but I always appreciated their effort.

Probably from the flyover ramp from NB Kennedy FWY to WB I-80 is a good view. I've been on it plenty while its been shorter, but its a short glance, I rarely take my phone with me while I'm out, and it doesn't sound safe. But if anybodys up to it lol.

Not really in the middle of the day. I handed my camera with a big lens to my wife and said "Shoot the skyline as we go around this corner" but she needed more training... LOL. Next time she can drive and I can shoot it.

Beautiful morning and early afternoon. Clouds broke up enough to for a great morning of photography.

Got enough |expletive| from the east and north to gag a moggot.

Hope the maggot's are hungry....

How about some photos from 24th and Farnam and Harney streets.

5. Have you looked at the tower from 24th and Farnam? You can't even see it...

6. You can see it from 24th and Harney street, but its nothing special, mostly behind the city county building.

Great photos Brad!

[BRoss]

Nice update!

Yeah, I thought it was going to be cloudy all day again but it was mostly clear out my way for a lot of the day.

[thenewguy]

Looking like Gotham lol

my thoughts exactly

[thenewguy]

such a beautiful building. The reflections really make a difference in the skyline- i have always been in love with FNBO, both because it was our tallest and because it's a good design, but Mutual adds a nice contrast

[stadsborgare]

Interesting pattern going up the west side of the garage.

Thanks Guys!

Yeah, its nice to see. I was hoping that side of the building would have something to break it up a little.

24th and Martha St. Bridge

Interesting stuff. I have been wanting to take some photos from the 24th & Martha bridge, but wasn't sure how to avoid being blocked by the fence. Evidently I need to take a closer look.

The holes I know about are on Vinton and Martha, but I'm not sure about 24th. Last time I was on Vinton they had some thin wire across the holes, but who knows if that's still there. Martha's holes were still open just the other day. The city of Lincoln actually embraced railroad photographers and put lens holes in the fence of one of their new bridges. I wish Omaha was that proactive.

Thank you all for the compliments!

I did notice there was a bigger hole cut out on the Martha St. bridge, but I didn’t use that one. I wasn’t a fan of that angle. I just put my cellphone up to/through the fence and took photos that way.

Nice pics Brad ..

I need to get back downtown this weekend; it’s been nearly a month…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

[Linkin5]

Great pics guys. I don’t like it but Mikey Cee’s complaining drives results.

Thanks. That said, I don't need any complaining to get my out to take photos. I have the drive and motivation to get out and take photo on my own, but what I'm lacking is time. In addition to the photography, I have a full time job and two kids that are each in 2 activities. This time of year, by the time I get off work, we eat and run to whatever practice they have that night, its dark by the time I could head out to take photos. I'm currently limited to whatever I can squeeze in on the weekends.

Even though I've already seen quite a few shots from 10th Street, I really like this one of yours. The colors really pop out. I also enjoyed looking at the photo from 15th Street.

Anyone know what floor they are on with the steel? Kinda curious the projected date will be for the final beam in November

[Brad]

Putting the steel up for 38 and 39 now. Seems like it would be a stretch to get all the steel up by the end of November?

[TheLaggingNovice]

Anyone know what floor they are on with the steel? Kinda curious the projected date will be for the final beam in November

In a March 2025 post on the project website, the team stated: “As steel rises from the concrete podium, we’ll get a clearer sense of the tower’s width and overall shape, with the full height expected to be reached by the end of 2025. Additionally, the glass exterior installation will start in early summer,… and by the end of 2025, we anticipate the tower will be nearly fully enclosed.”

They'll be sprinting to pull that off, but who knows

[iamjacobm]

It does feel like the steel is climbing very fast now that they aren’t working on the core.

Agree; I can't see a world where this happens. If only all the steel is up by EOY I would be shocked.

I took this photo today

[Renovator2559]

Spotted a police vehicle, with a composite image that includes the Mutual of Omaha tower. Nice overlay

[skinzfan23]

I pretty sure that’s Brad’s picture used in the rendering. Looks great but the Luminarium is missing.

Yep, that’s my photo. It’s very distinctive because it has the flood water from 2019 and the Ferris wheel from Santa Lucia Festival in it. It’s one of the architectural renderings that the towers architect made back in the beginning.
