Sower Investment Partners, ACCESS Commercial and Burlington Capital announced this week that “The Arthur” is the name of their 329-unit, class-A apartment complex currently under construction on the southeast corner of 48th & Dodge Street.
The name honors Dr. Arthur Pittman, Omaha’s first African-American veterinarian and a prominent civic leader. His single-story office building is being preserved and incorporated into the project. His practice operated there from 1948 until his passing in 1990. The Pittman building will serve as the front entrance to The Arthur.
Designed in the Art Moderne architectural style by the renowned John Latenser and Sons, the Pittman building will house The Arthur’s leasing and management office.
The 5-story building will be open for move-ins beginning Fall 2025, with pre-leasing beginning this summer. The building sits between the Dundee area and the Blackstone District. The University of Nebraska Medical Center campus is just to the southeast.
The $82 million building will boast a wide range of amenities, including a fitness center, dedicated workspaces, community lounge, outdoor dog run, resort-style outdoor pool and an underground heated parking garage with assigned parking.
