NuStyle Development has started converting the former FNBO “Main Bank” building into 294 market-rate apartments. The building is located at 1620 Dodge Street, directly north of FNBO’s First National Tower. The 22-story building was constructed in 1971. At 295 feet, it is the sixth tallest building in Omaha behind the Mutual of Omaha tower, First National Center, WoodmenLife Tower, Elmwood Tower and Union Pacific Center.
According a city building permit, the scope of work involves, but is not limited to, the following: Replacement of spandrel glass with vision glass in selected locations, removal of elevators, infilling concrete floors, and the build-out of residential units. Historic spaces such as the elevator lobby’s pedestrian passageway and two-story banking space will be retained, in addition to historic materials such as interior storefront, escalators and extant terrazzo floors. The Omaha Press Club will remain on the top floor
