Baker’s Supermarket Construction 204th & Q
Construction has gone vertical on a $40 million Baker’s Marketplace store northwest of 204th & Q Street. At 123,000 sq. ft., Baker’s Marketplace will be approximately 55,000 sq. ft. larger than traditional Baker’s stores. The property will include a Baker’s fuel center. The store will employ more than 300 people. Opening is expected toward the end of this year.
The Mutual of Omaha Tower’s Crown
Most of the steel structure is now installed atop Mutual of Omaha’s future headquarters tower downtown. Topping-out – when the final piece of structural steel is welded into place – is expected to take place next week. In the accompanying photo by Brad Williams, construction workers can be seen working on the architectural crown 677 feet above Farnam Street.
The 44-story tower is the equivalent of a 48-story tower because of the crown and the fact that the 44th floor has a double-height ceiling. The developer is Lanoha Real Estate. Pickard Chilton is the lead architect and JE Dunn is the general contractor. Completion is planned for late this year, but it’s already the tallest tower in a multi-state region. It’s also one of the tallest office buildings currently under construction in the United States.
7 Brew Coffee Under Construction
Construction is underway on a 7 Brew Coffee location at 2901 West Broadway in Council Bluffs. Crews were pouring concrete for the drive-thru lane today. The site was once home to a U.S. Bank branch building, which was previously demolished. Arkansas-based 7 Brew Coffee opened a west Omaha location earlier this year near 182nd & West Maple Road.
Southwest Corner of 72nd & Farnam
Construction has reached the fifth floor on part of the future mixed-use building under development on the southwest corner of 72nd & Farnam Street. The $44 million, 5-story building is a Lockwood Development project. The building will have 176 apartment units plus ground-level retail space that will host a Williamsburg Pizza restaurant and a Jimmy John’s sub-sandwich shop. Once Jimmy John’s opens in the new building, the existing, free-standing Jimmy John’s building will be demolished.

Nebraska Medicine Farnam Health Center
The University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine Midtown Campus continues to grow and expand. Last year, the City of Omaha vacated Harney Street from 41st Street to the connection at Farnam Street. During that time, it was known that Nebraska Medicine planed to develop a parcel of land consisting of a surface parking lot on the southeast corner of 42nd & Farnam Street. According to a building permit, the project will consist of a 4-story, medical office building with a pedestrian walkway to the parking garage to the south. The existing parking garage will have a new elevator lobby to connect to the pedestrian walkway.
