Downtown Development

REMARKABLE THE RESOURCES GROWTH YOU NEED

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.

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.

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.
