New Developments

 
Just before the 4th quarter ended, crews finished demolition of the W. Dale Clark library at 14th & Farnam Street. That will pave the way for construction to begin on Mutual of Omaha’s 44-story headquarters building this month. The City of Omaha approved $440 million in bonds for the planned downtown-midtown street car. The Child Saving Institute announced a $46 million expansion of its campus at Saddle Creek Road & Dodge Street.

Construction has started on a 5-story, mass-timber-built office building at 1501 Mike Fahey Street in the Builders District.
