Downtown Omaha has yet another tower crane. Crews assembled the crane along the east side of 16th Street between Douglas and Farnam Street. The crane will be sued to build a 12-story building that will be part of The Duo, a full-city-block complex that also includes the Central Park Plaza twin towers. NuStyle Development is converting the twin towers from office space into hundreds of apartment units. The towers are located on 15th Street between Farnam and Douglas streets. Sullivan’s Steakhouse, a tenant in the south tower, will remain. The Mill Coffee & Tea plans to open a shop in the north tower’s former Starbucks space in 2027.
The new 12-story building will rise on the site of the now-demolished Park Fair Mall. When the new building opens in 2027, it will have seven levels of parking (open to the public) and five multi-family floors with 150 apartments. Altogether, the three buildings will have more than 700 apartment units. The west building will have approximately 12,500 sq. ft. of street-level retail space and will also feature a rooftop swimming pool. The complex will be strategically located right next to a future streetcar station.
