The latest Grow Omaha Construction Update video, produced by Brad Williams, is now available on our website or by clicking HERE.
Our construction videos are full of footage and information about local developments. For this week’s Big Story, we’re highlighting just some of the projects you’ll see. Here goes…
Apartments Near 71st & Mercy Road
Construction has started on 300-stall parking garage that will be connected to a 4-story, 200-unit apartment building on the north side of the garage and south side of Mercy Road. The apartment building and garage will be adjacent to THINK Healthcare and the recently completed Community Alliance building.
The Catalyst Building
Much of the exterior finishes are now in place on the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Catalyst building, which is a renovated former steel plant west of Saddle Creek Road. It will include co-working space, an event hall, offices, meeting rooms, a fitness center, coffee shop, and even a brewery.
Apartments Near 48th & Dodge
Elevator shafts are in place and much of the framing has started on a 5-story apartment building under construction at 48th & Dodge Street. The building will have 300 apartment units with parking underneath.
UNMC Student Housing
Land has been cleared for a $66 million student housing complex at 38h & Dewey. The 6-story building will have 300 units and 205,000 sq. ft. of floor space. Opening is planned for August 2026.
BoHo Flats
This 5-story building in Little Bohemia has topped out. The mixed-use building will have 59 apartment units, indoor parking and 5,000 sq. ft. of retail space along the west side of 13th Street
Mutual of Omaha Tower
No construction video these days is complete without an update on the future tallest building in the city. The Mutual of Omaha headquarters building’s central core is up to about 18 or 19 stories. The construction company’s tower crane was recently raised another 80 feet.
Starbucks Coffee Locations
Approximately six new Starbuck’s Coffee locations are coming to the metro area. In this month’s video, Brad Williams highlights Starbuck’s buildings under construction near Mangelsen’s at 84th & Hascall Street as well as one at 96th & L Street. That one will require the demolition of a former Wells Fargo building. The video also features a Starbuck’s that will share a new building with Aspen Dental near 72nd & Cornhusker in Papillion on the site of a former Metro Credit Union.
37 West Farnam
Exterior finishes are going on the 9-story “37 West Farnam” Building in the Blackstone District just west of the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel. The mixed-use building has street-level retail, a parking garage open to the public and five levels of apartments on top.
