Omaha Performing Arts is buying the parking lot on the NE corner of 15th and Harney. I don’t know what if any plans they have.

Artisanal Mega Saver? Art Deco Mega Saver?

I'd bet they'd keep it parking for additional space for semis, tour buses and or donor parking.

I have no issue with them keeping the area for Orpheum parking. I just want them to put like 15 stories of apartments over it.

[MadJack]

This is not good. That’s on the streetcar route and needed to become a building.

I wonder if this is to offset some lost parking with the OPPD building going residential.

In that scenario the drab Berry Law building needs to go and be part of a whole block mixed-use development. I don't know what purpose OPA would have for the kind of project most here would want to see though. Technically OPA is somewhat in the hospitality business. I don't know if they do any arrangements for touring artists but I could imagine an "artist in residence"(literally) kind of hotel. I don't see them getting in the hotel business though, so maybe a partnership with a hotel operator where they can own the parking below.

Yeah, probably not but the idea of an "art hotel" would be cool.
