Kennedy Square East (30th & Bristol)
Kennedy Square East, a proposed mixed income housing development in North Omaha, was authorized $1.9 million in TIF. The six-acre site near 30th and Bristol Streets will replace the Spencer Homes Public Housing complex. Don Seten from city planning said about one-third of the units will be replacement units for residents displaced by the demolition of Spencer Homes, and the rest will be a mix of affordable and market rate units. Cydney Franklin from Seventy Five North said her organization is an investor in the project. She said the project will invest in stabilization for Spencer Homes residents. “We know that investments to the south of Kennedy Square East have really paved the way to allow this development to happen,” Franklin said. “We’re making investments in people and a built environment, and we’re super proud of that.”

This project is not in the Park Ave area. It's a couple miles north of there.

When I moved to Omaha after college my first apartment was in the art deco buildings. Always had a soft spot for the area.

Its a budget apartment complex in North Omaha, it wouldn't make sense to make a more premium building in the area.

Usually anyone in south or north Omaha that want a more premium apartment, they move to the city core and pay for the luxuries.
Also, one of the biggest complaints that the city gets, is that the city is not building enough affordable housing.
Having a premium apartment complex pop up out of nowhere in North Omaha, will only reduce affordable housing for the surrounding area, by increasing property values. At least that's the way I see it, I may be wrong and you may have a better take on this
Home sweet, home...Omaha!
