Wood Framing Starts at The Carnac

May 16, 2026

Crews have started working on the second floor of The Carnac Apartments in the Blackstone District along the future streetcar route. The Carnac is a podium building, meaning the first floor consists of reinforced concrete, while the upper floors are wood framed.

Located at 35th & Farnam Street, the project is going up on the former WOWT building site. Omaha-based GreenSlate Development is developing the $45 million, 180-unit apartment building. The name “Carnac” is an ode to Johnny Carson, who started his television career on the site in 1950.
