Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

[HighWinds]

The Concrete pumping arm is on top of the tower again today. Are they even taking it down anymore or should we expect a poor in the next couple days? Tuesday would be a week.

A pour on Tuesday would make sense. They probably want to top out so they have more of the warm season to work on steel/glass, and then focus on the interior during the winter.

Thanks Brad! And yes fun to see the second crane flying.

[Omaha Cowboy]

Looking good Brad..

Particularly pic #3 …

Ciao..LiO…Peace

[Brad]

Thanks Guys!

Incase you missed it, Jason Lanoha had a lot of good information during this week's Grow Omaha.

[skinzfan23]

Thanks for sharing that video, Brad.

Lanoha Shares Details about Mutual Tower & Plans for Current HQ

https://growomaha.com/lanoha-shares-det ... urrent-hq/

Crews are currently working on the shear tower’s 42nd floor. Though only a couple more floors remain, the building will still add quite a bit of height. The 44th floor will have a double-height ceiling, which will allow the top floor to have a visually impactful interior. Additionally, the exterior walls will extend quite a bit higher than the roof. Not only will that increase the building’s height, it will form an architectural crown that will hide rooftop air-handling equipment.

Just listened to the episode over lunch. They said the crane will rise one more time to 750 feet. The core will be done next month and steel should be done by the end of the year.

Reminds me of those famous Absolut Vodka print ads from a decade or more ago.
“Absolut Omaha”

Another 2 levels of steel going up.

Another 2 levels of steel going up.

Mutual’s tower is coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing its progress when I return to Omaha in September.

[ItsAllAboutMe]

They are pouring the 43rd floor this morning. The final crane jump will have to happen very soon.

[Visionless]

And now the core is up another level.

Seeing the towers from Fairview Road in Bellevue, it looks like they’re about the same height for the first time

[mikey cee]

I suppose I'll venture forth and say that FNBO has been eclipsed as the outright tallest building in Omaha. Unless a big internally lit green, white and encircled "1" is added to the roof line like some of the big dogs have done in other metro areas. Ha ha! Mike

I would not be surprised if FNBO modified either the height or profile (visibility, like brighter lights in the crown) to try and shine like the MoO tower will. I believe FNBO tower has not yet switched to LED.

[skinzfan23]

Not to detract from the thread but the lighting for Woodmen is led and worse than what they previously had except the fact it can change colors. The old lights were way brighter and lit the tower up better. That’s what I love about FNBO, the lighting can be seen for 20-25 miles away.

I’d be happy if they could keep the crown lit consistently and not keep it in darkness coinciding with the Holiday Lights Fest.

I don’t think it’s LED lighting per se that’s the issue, I mean no body has trouble seeing the Empire State Building from distance. Some adjustment could help The Woodmen though.



Steering this back topical. I believe Cowboy previously mentioned Mutual’s top will be illuminated in blue. Curious how intense this will be since the tower walls are generally blue. Hard to tell much from the renderings.

[Brad]

When I was downtown today the Tower Crane was adding more sections to the construction elevators. They go up to the top of the steel now.

I had to snag this from KMTV’s cam. Such a beautiful shot!

Best view of Omaha in my opinion, from the angle of #1; from Cafe Postale across the bridge.

That KMTV view bothers me. We finally have a third tower and their camera location mostly blocks out the FNB tower. The best views capture all 3 mixed-in with the whole context, in my opinion.

Well they can't really move the casino tower 30+ years after it opened... They should talk to Boyd Jones about getting one up on the old Postal Annex.

Completely agree! I can’t stand this view. It would be great if there could be a camera placed at the top of the adventure tower in the playland park development. I’m thinking that would give the view/angle you get driving south on I29 that everyone generally seems to enjoy.

[skinzfan23]

I do love the view from I-29 S. I think that is the best view along with driving south from the airport. Downtown looks more dense from either of those viewpoints.

[skinzfan23]

From Monday (a couple more floors of glass on the north side)

Need a 400 fr plus tower on the old UP lot so bad!

I like this view because I can check the progress of the Mutual tower almost daily. Plus they seldom move the camera so it almost always shows this view. It is a bummer that it’s blocking out the First National tower though.

I like this view because Mutual’s tower construction is front and center and I too check it regularly. Now only if another tower gets built on the ol UP site, it’ll balance out the skyline quite a bit.

[nativeomahan]

Riding home down Abbott Drive from Eppley toward Cuming Street late the other night I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Mutual tower aligns nearly perfectly with Abbott Drive for about 2 miles, until Abbott curves to the west. So anyone coming into downtown from Eppley gets a good long view of the tower directly in front of them. Quite an impressive welcome to Omaha!

There was a flatbed with two tower crane sections parked on 14th between Dodge and Douglas when I came into work.
