It could actually be a great turnaround spot. Just like the River Market on the north end of the Kansas City Streetcar.

Yeah the streetcar coming over here would be ideal, especially if the Union Omaha development comes to fruition.

Some walkability improvements between the Union stadium plot and Millwork (and North DT as well) would be helpful too.

If it’s just a continuation of the existing line this would be great, but if it’s an independent line I think aiming to serve more of North Omaha would be better

The hotel will go in the older brick building surrounded by the Dizzy Mule. 135 rooms. The Frame Apts will be 149 units on the NW corner of 13th and Nicholas.

Millwork has been quite the development in the past few years. Probably only second to Blackstone in development

It certainly helps that there is more space available around Millwork.

Really glad to see the other old building converted to a boutique hotel!

I'm glad to see they've minimized the blank wall space on the first floor of The Frame apartments. Too often the exterior first floor is an afterthought on new urban apartments.

Pretty good incorporation of the historic structures into this complex. Could be a bit better, particularly with materials used, but that’s just me being nitpicky.

Im not sure if it was mentioned or not but the boutique hotel going in here will developed by Aparium.

They’ve got a pretty cool portfolio. Lotta adaptive reuse but a few sexy looking new builds

Very nice picture angles, that encapsulate the Millwork Commons Well, thanks!

This area will come alive in no time, I just hope there are better plans for pedestrian accessibility while crossing Cuming Street, it can be overwhelming at times to cross Cuming

I wonder if there are pending plans for construction on the empty east lot.

Agree 100 percent on that Cuming crossing. Gotta change that! Love this Millwork development overall though

I couldn't help but take a picture of this new mural tucked in this gap at Millwork Commons.
Quite a creative use for a nice public art mural. Looks better in person.

As for the other side of the Millwork Commons, where that art studio is, maybe they should improve the art quality of those metal sculptures; that area can look like an urban junk yard and you don't see people taking pictures or admiring those sculptures.

Other than that, I love how Millwork Commons is unfolding.
Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture and Black Dog are doing a great job in giving Millwork Commons an authentic traditional Omaha look.

This walkway is shaping up well.

New parking garage going in to Millwork Commons now has its building permit. Will have street level retail.

Building Permit wrote:Description: 5 story parking garage with tenant space on part of the bottom level.

That's great to hear. I've been watching the demo of the lot from my office for the past couple of months.

Nice article from SPN about a growing tech company right here in Omaha. Portion I pulled is relevant to the Ashton.

Workshop surpasses 100 employees as it nears five-year anniversary

In a breakdown provided by Workshop, the expansion work on the company’s Millwork Commons headquarters will begin in January. The project will add 14,500 square feet to the existing 10,000-square-foot office in the Ashton building, including nine conference rooms, 10 call rooms and 156 workstations.

The Dublin office is located in a local coworking hub and opened for the first two hires back in September. Workshop plans to officially launch the office in 2026, with the space having the potential to accommodate four to eight people initially and the ability to expand.

Millwork Commons is coming along. The Frame is getting its brick and the Nova’s exterior is closer to being finished.

Thanks for the updates. I've been so busy with work and kids activities lately, I couldn't tell you the last time I drive through Millwork Commons. These two buildings have really come along since the last time I have seen them.

Came Across These renderings for the new Millwork Hotel! I would imagine work will begin soon on this.

I also saw on Grow Omaha that the first tenant will be new bar called The Academy in the Nova apartment building, I wonder if thats going to take the place of the Cap Brewing Company from Baton Rouge that was originally announced as the first tenant for that location?

KMR sushi has officially opened!
