The Arthur, a 329-unit, class-A apartment project is currently under construction at 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. 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 and built in 1948, the Pittman building will house The Arthur’s leasing and management office.
The Arthur will be open for move-ins beginning Fall 2025. The $82 million, 5-story building sits between the Dundee area and the Blackstone District. The University of Nebraska Medical Center campus is just to the southeast.
