The Mutual tower’s concrete shear tower core has reached the 34th floor. That means Mutual of Omaha’s future headquarters building is getting close to surpassing the Woodmen Tower as the city’s second tallest building. Located at 14th & Farnam Street, the tower will eventually pass the nearby First National tower to become the tallest building in the Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas region. When the building is complete in 2026, it will be 800,000 sq. ft., 44 stories and 677-feet tall.
There will be a short period of time this summer when the Mutual tower will be taller than the Woodmen Tower but it won’t look like it. That’s because the Woodmen Tower’s base sits at a significantly higher elevation than Mutual’s.
