Construction is nearing completion on The Arthur, a 329-unit, class-A apartment project at 48th & Dodge Street. The name honors Dr. Arthur Pittman, Omaha’s first African-American veterinarian. His single-story office building is being preserved and incorporated into the project. 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 this fall. 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.
