Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I really appreciate these video updates! Thanks for providing them.

I wonder what that big thing is that is covered up

Found out that is part of the cooling system. Apparently cool water will be circulated throughout the building as a heat exchange. That thing weighted 31k pounds and basically tapped out the crane's lifting capacity

[almighty_tuna]

Wowza!! And there's three of them up there! Nice info.

A core pour was done today so expect the forms to move up on Monday

A core pore was done today so expect the forms to move up on Monday

As expected, the core is being raised right now.

Great update, and it looks like we'll be seeing the tower hit 400 feet later this month!

Appreciate these updates very much. If you cannot tell by now I'm sort of height obsessed. I'd imagine the tower crane will be raised after another floor is added....maybe before?

The next move up should surpass our State Capitol in Lincoln.

That will be a sad, and happy day at the same time.

I think skinz said something around that 400' mark it would raise. Maybe the anchor points for the next increase are under the curtain and will be revealed when it hits 29

[Brad]

Last I heard was Saturday, January 25, but that is weather dependent and obviously could get bumped for any number of reasons.

Thanks for the intel, any idea how much they are going to raise it this time?

[skinzfan23]

[ItsAllAboutMe]

FYI- the crane to core anchor points are on the 25th floor.

Are they connecting this building to the Cordia distributed Heating system (the 2 big steam plants - 1 by the ballpark, the other by the children's museum)? I wonder if this all part of that system...

[almighty_tuna]

Based on Cordia's map of customers they show both the MOO block and Central Park blocks as being served by their system. However, that could also still refer to the old library. But either way it appears the infrastructure is at the ready for MOO to utilize.

Taken today 1-17-25, Woodmen will be slipping to 3rd tallest soon.

How exciting! My hometown is growing up! And even though WoodmenLife will be obscured from
specific angles, it’ll still have its prominence in the skyline.

[skinzfan23]

Taken today 1-17-25, Woodmen will be slipping to 3rd tallest soon.

Height-wise that’s not going to happen for a while, right now the mutual tower is around 390 feet where Woodman is about 478. Probably still have at least five more floors before that happens, which will be about three more months.

Nice shot Brad. I was in CB today and there is a good view from the CB stadium but I need to get higher to take a nice shot. I also want to get up to the Lincoln monument to see what it looks like from that view too.

I went to the Lincoln Monument and Fairmount Park 2 weeks ago. Bright sun on a cold day just wrecks the photos with heat waves.

[Nebraska>Iowa]

As always, your pics are great Brad.

I suppose time of year with sun angles matter as well?

Whoa, pretty cool how much that thing has grown in prominence just over the last few months.

And by the way just drove by tonight and there are 4 more crane sections on site.

Thanks for the reminder. Weather dependent, they are shooting for Tuesday 1/21 now.

Thanks for the update Brad

[Omaha Cowboy]

Great pic Brad …

[skinzfan23]

I am going to assume that with the extreme cold today, they are going to postpone raising the crane. (at least it doesn't look like it has gone up yet today)

[Louie]

This is very visible from the Center St overpass on 72nd now.

[skinzfan23]

[skinzfan23]

I don't think the crane has gone up yet, but the supports are now attached to the building on the 25th floor.

[Busguy2010]

I just saw it from this location, and I think it probably will be the best remote viewing location. 90th & Dodge is a close second IMO.

[arch_RP_planner]

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, Lanoha discusses the timeline for the tower on KMTV.
Definitely caught my eye when they said steel would top out by the end of the year.

Anyone know anything about when they will start the glass facade?
