Re: 1508 Marcy -- Apartments
My thoughts too. I actually hope they choose something else where the white vinyl is though.
Overall, I like it though.

Totally forgot about this project but noticed it on my way to dinner last night. It's all Tyvek'd on the north side and should be getting the brick up soon.

Re: The Monico Apartments (1508 Marcy)
Now called "The Monico"
Grow Omaha wrote: The Monico Is Nearing Completion Downtown
Leasing has officially started at The Monico, a 5-story apartment building nearing completion at 1508 Marcy Street downtown. Urban Village is developing the 83-unit building on a 35,000 sq. ft., former industrial site that was once home to Monico Diesel Engine Service. The Monico offers a mix of lofts and studios as well as one- and two-bedroom layouts. Each unit comes with quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Property amenities include underground parking, a package room, bike storage/repair station and in-unit washer/dryer combos. Opening is planned for early August.

Re: The Monico Apartments (1508 Marcy)

From the Grow Omaha Facebook - this is possibly the worst and least aesthetic apartment layout I have ever seen. Six doors in succession like that has got to be a new record.
That said, good luck to 'em, hope people enjoy 'em, got no issue with it. Just, wow.

My guess is it goes bathroom, coat closet, washer/dryer, HVAC, bedroom.skinzfan23 wrote: Tue Jul 08, 2025 10:50 am I was trying to figure out what that was as well. Are those closets?
