New Developments
The Planning Board approved a preliminary plan to rezone a 36-acre subdivision southeast of 180th & West Maple Road to build Omaha’s third Costco. Construction topped out at the Moxy by Marriott hotel on the southeast corner of 12th & Harney Street in the Old Market. The 6-story hotel should open early next year on the site that was once home to the Old Market Diner. REI Co-op opened its first Nebraska Store at Nebraska Crossing. The Planning Board approved Tax Increment Financing for a 4-story office and retail building planned for 1501 Mike Fahey Street. That’s just south of Kiewit’s global headquarters building and in a part of north downtown known as The Builder’s District.
