Hello! New to the forum here, thought I'd post a couple of pictures from this morning. Have a great weekend everyone!

Looks like they're drilling pilings for the building on the other side from the hotel. It's going to be a flurry of construction here.

Thanks for posting Coyote. From looking at your first picture, it appears that the 2nd tower crane might be going up to the left of the light blue trailer. There is a little square area that has been laid out, similar to what they did for the base of the other tower crane.

The plot SE of 10th and Capitol is probably going to be changed to CBD zoning.

Which means office and not residential?

Means no parking requirements.

Does this indicate movement on the project? Is it still under the "Shamrock" ownership?

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 1:25 pm

The city is the one that put the request in. Could mean something working behind the scenes could mean just making the plot more attractive for a developer bc they can skip the rezoning step.

Midwestern · Post by **Midwestern** » Tue Nov 24, 2015 1:30 pm

I'm kinda hoping that the city puts this lot up for development and that someone else comes up with something.

This would be a good spot for a building like the one with Plank Seafood restaurant in it.

I wonder if this is too close to the river to make underground parking feasible though?

That would be a great size building and use of the space.

Based on the progress so far, when would be a good estimate for steel starting to rise from the site?

Do we know it is going to be steel or concrete?

When was the last time they built a building in Omaha out of concrete without steal?

Two years ago or whenever Hyatt was built.

The cancer center was poured concrete.

Without rebar, that's incredible engineering.

Oh us rebar concrete guess I'm confused.

Unless there's a specific function need for reinforced concrete (i.e. hospital or research lab that needs excellent vibration dampening), structural steel is generally more economical in the Omaha area, especially if schedule is important. I wouldn't be surprised to see some precast concrete on a project like this, though, since that's economical and quick to erect.

I went up and checked it out yesterday no walls other than that basement stuff. I also saw dump trucked taking away what I assume was the Sir Charge. And still no sing of the second cranes components.

Cranes don't sing, they have a rolling r trumpeting call, but you can't call that singing... And it's not a component, it's a ballet.

I propose we make "Sir Charge" the mascot of Eomahaforums.

All in favor?

Nay, I propose an ugly, red brick building.

I thought we already had a mascot:

Unfortunately I have to credit Siri for "Sir Charge"' the knight in shining dirt.

Thought that was a young Jared Fogle until I saw that farce of a proposed theme park behind him.

It is actually a rorschach test. I saw an Ewok.

Thanks for getting the shots today. I'm hoping this El Niño helps speed up the winter construction.

Doesn't look like that space in #2 is going to be for a crane like I thought. Any ideas on what that part is going to be?

MTO · Post by **MTO** » Sun Dec 06, 2015 10:33 pm

Looks like concrete rebar, perhaps a base to a shaft?

Looks like the foundation for a large tower crane to me.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 3:23 pm

Maybe it is for the crane, I just didn't remember there being that much rebar in the base for the first one.

GetUrban · Post by **GetUrban** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:58 pm

Maybe it is part of a building....I know, not quite as exciting as a crane.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 3:01 pm

Base is in for second crane. I'll post a pic when I get home.
