The Omaha City Council yesterday approved a 32,000 sq. ft. expansion of the long-vacant former Younker’s department store space. A building permit filed with the City of Omaha indicates that the expanded space will be home to a Dillard’s Department Store. After the expansion, the 2-story anchor space will total 207,800 sq. ft. A new entry will be included in the addition. The brick veneer will match the existing building. As part of the project, the former Granite City building will be demolished to create more parking. The Younker’s space has been vacant since 2018. Dillard’s has not yet officially announced the new Westroads store.
