The Southside Terrace redevelopment project’s first phase is underway at 28th & W Street in South Omaha. A 4-story building is now enclosed. It will contain 92 apartments, including one- two- three- and even five-bedroom units. Amenities such a community room and fitness center will be included. Future phases will include row houses.
Much of the old, rundown Southside Terrace apartments have been demolished. The public housing project initially began back in the 1940s. The old Southside Terrace complex included 359 units in barracks-style, brick buildings spread out over 10 city blocks. When the redevelopment is done a few years from now, the new Southside Terrace neighborhood will have 577 apartments and townhouses.
