DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT


DOWNTOWN OMAHA Including the Missouri Riverfront, North Downtown Omaha, the Old Market and Midtown Crossing The downtown revitalization that began in the late 1980s, with the development of the ConAgra Foods headquarters campus and the Heartland of America Park, is the catalyst for the robust growth that continues today. Omaha’s unprecedented investment and growth now totals nearly $3 billion in projects completed or under construction. Known for the effectiveness of its public/private-sector partnerships, Omaha’s current extraordinary growth is fueled by a unique mix of business, education and government. This has resulted in arts, entertainment and sport complexes, new office and education buildings, residential units and public green space.


Five Fortune 500 companies maintain their headquarters in Greater Omaha. ConAgra Foods, Inc. and Union Pacific are located downtown. Mutual of Omaha, Kiewit Corporation and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. are located just west of downtown in the Midtown district. Other large companies in downtown include Creighton University, Creighton University Medical Center, First National Bank of Omaha, FirstComp, First National Merchant Solutions, Gallup, Gavilon, Kutak Rock LLP, McGrath North, Metropolitan Utilities District, Omaha Public Power District, Omaha World-Herald, Pacific Life Insurance Company, Physicians Mutual, Qwest, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo and Woodmen of the World, among others. Omaha has over 40,000 people employed in downtown and another 46,000 in the adjacent Midtown district.

RIVERFRONT Omaha’s riverfront was the focus of inner-city development in Omaha’s journey “back to the river.” This area continues to be a focal point of development activity including a pedestrian bridge, walking/ biking trails, restaurants, corporate campuses and condominiums. Eppley Airfield 4501 Abbott Dr. This regional airport, with non-stop flights to 21 cities including the east and west coasts, is located approximately five minutes from downtown Omaha and provides passengers convenient and accessible travel to and from Omaha. Eppley is a major commercial airport, with U.S. Customs operations, and is serviced by all major and regional airlines, seven air-freight carriers and two full-service, general-aviation facilities. The facility is also a regional U.S. Postal Service center hub that consistently receives high ratings for postal service excellence. Approximately 55 million pounds of mail and 100 million pounds of cargo are handled through Eppley each year. In 2009, the airport provided service to nearly 4.4 million passengers on more than 200 flights per day.

Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge Named for the former Nebraska governor and U.S. senator, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge was completed in October 2008. This impressive suspension bridge is now a defining landmark for the Greater Omaha community. It spans the Missouri River near the Gallup campus and connects nearly 150 miles of hiking and biking trails in Nebraska and Iowa. The cost of this project was $22 million. Abbott Drive The Peter Kiewit Foundation donated $5 million to the city of Omaha to fund the Abbott Drive Beautification project, which includes an extensive “String of Pearls” lighting system, median plantings, landscaping and a city-entry signature wall between Eppley Airfield and downtown.

Gallup Campus 1001 Gallup Dr. Gallup’s decision to relocate its headquarter operations to Omaha launched an expanded riverfront development effort north of Interstate 480.

NORTH DOWNTOWN OMAHA The Greater Omaha Chamber and the city of Omaha hired HDR to coordinate the development of a master plan for an 80-block area, known as North Downtown Omaha, covering nearly 300 acres directly between Qwest Center Omaha and Creighton University. A framework was established and is guiding redevelopment of this prime area. Recommendations for this high-density, mixed-use development include an entertainment district surrounded by urban residential, office and retail opportunities. Qwest Center Omaha 455 N. 10th St. Completed in 2003, with a price tag of $291 million, Qwest Center Omaha is the area’s largest convention center and arena. $75 million was privately raised in 90 days for this project.

anchor development in North Downtown Omaha, which has already attracted retail outlets, hotels, restaurants and other entertainment venues. The stadium will also be the home of Creighton University men’s baseball and the United Football League’s Omaha Nighthawks. Creighton University 2500 California Plaza Over the past decade, Creighton University has invested more than $250 million in property acquisition, construction and renovation to modernize and expand its downtown Omaha campus and embrace the city that surrounds it. Creighton’s campus now stretches across 130 acres between 16th and 32nd streets. Creating a modern student living and learning environment on an urban campus has been the vision for the University. The campus opened the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D. J. Sokol Arena in August of 2009, which serves as home to women’s Bluejay basketball and volleyball, and is a community venue. This facility continued the east-campus expansion that includes the Mike and Josie Harper Center for Student Life and Learning, a 245,000-squarefoot building that provides academic and studentsupport services in one convenient location. Among the myriad other development projects on campus are townhomes offering apartment-style living for upperclassmen, a renovated campus mall, the 100,000-square-foot Hixson Lied Science Building, a premier NCAA soccer stadium and the strikingly refurbished St. John’s Church.
