2024 Year in Review! GROUND BROKEN

FROM THE EDITOR:

Progress in Nebraska’s skyline certainly isn’t slowing down any time soon. Here are few projects underway that will bring change to the metro for years to come.

UNL BREAKS GROUND ON LANDMARK PRECISION AG CENTER

Following a 120-year partnership with the USDA, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln broke ground on a $160 million laboratory for research scientists on May 6, 2024. The National Center for Resilient and Regenerative Precision Agriculture will reside on the Nebraska Innovation Campus in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Lincoln was selected from over 90 potential sites nationwide for the facility, allowing the Agriculture Research Service to research precision agriculture. The university’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources focuses on agricultural production, including crops, livestock, and poultry, which played a role in the decision.

The laboratory will feature 10,000 square feet of greenhouses and headhouse space. The ARS team will research how plants like wheat, barley, and bioenergy grasses respond to pests and pathogens.

Once complete, the 120,000-square-foot agriculture research complex will focus its efforts on improving water and food security and increasing resiliency and profitability in agriculture.

A NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR THE FOOD BANK

After three years of careful planning, the Food Bank For The Heartland broke ground on its new headquarters at 84th and L streets in Omaha in May.

“As the need has risen to unforeseen levels—our current facility significantly undermines our ability to distribute healthy foods to those who need it most,” said President and CEO Brian Barks.

The $27 million project increases the space of nearly every department, which has grown with the need of Nebraskans experiencing natural disasters and the ramifications of COVID-19.

Of note, the increased storage capacity, now up to 24,000 square feet, will ensure healthier fresh and frozen foods can be stored. The clean room, used to source and process protein, has 4,300 square feet of dedicated space. The previous space only allowed for 700 square feet.

To date, the Food Bank has raised $17.4 million from 1,016 donors. The new facility is scheduled to be completed in 2025.

A NEW MULTI-CUSTODY FACILITY NEAR LINCOLN

The Nebraska Department of Corrections (NDCS) broke ground on its new multi-custody facility in August. When completed it will replace the current Nebraska State Penitentiary, located in Tecumseh, which has been partially in operation since 1869.

Located north of Interstate 80 and east of 70th Street in northeast Lincoln, the facility will include a maximum/medium custody compound and a minimum custody compound.

“The innovative, energy-efficient, and sustainable design elements of this facility will create an environment for safe and transformation rehabilitation, as well as reduce long-range operational costs and provide staffing efficiencies,” said NDCS Director Rob Jefferys in a news release.

The facility is scheduled for completion in 2028.

AVAILABLE SOON: MORE ON-CAMPUS LIVING OPTIONS

UNMC students will be able to apply to live on campus in 2026. UNMC broke ground on its first residential facility in November on 39th Street and Dewey Avenue.

At present, UNMC houses about 100 students through a variety of nearby houses, duplexes and other multi-unit structures.

The six-story building will accommodate 300 students and will include a mixture of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. There will also be grab-and-go food options, as well as first-floor meeting and study spaces open to all UNMC students, including non-tenants.

The $66 million project is expected to be completed in August 2026.

GOING GREEN AND BUILDING COMMUNITY

Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart broke ground on phase two of its campus master plan in September. The $31 million project includes a student commons area, installation of a geothermal system, and a new athletic complex.

The athletic complex will have space for 1,200 spectators, an indoor track, an expanded weight room, updated locker rooms, and a turf field for outdoor sports.

The geothermal system, being installed beneath the current soccer field, will help keep an estimated 143 tons of CO2 out of the environment. This is part of Duchesne’s goal to have zero emissions by 2045.

BRINGING FARM-TO-CONE TO ELKHORN

Local farm-to-cone creamery Coneflower broke ground on its third location. Located at 2700 N. Main St. in Olde Towne Elkhorn, the shop will sit on a formerly vacant lot in between Little Scandinavia and Coco & Charlies. The first location opened in the Blackstone District in 2016, followed by the Millwork Commons location in 2023. The new location is expected to open in 2025.

MEMBER GROWTH DRIVES NEW LOCATION

Centris Federal Credit Union broke ground on a new, full-service location at 66th Street and Ames Avenue in mid-September. Centris has operated a location at 48th Street and Ames Avenues for 13 years. When the new branch opens in 2025 the existing location will close.

NEW ADDITION AT DOUGLAS COUNTY JAIL

The Douglas County Department of Corrections broke ground on an addition to the current county jail to provide more mental health services to inmates. The $34 million facility, which is reportedly being funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) monies, will add 80 beds for inmates experiencing several mental illnesses. The project is expected to be completed in 2026.

A PLAYGROUND FOR ALL

In October the City of Lincoln broke ground on its first inclusive playground. Mahoney Park will be located at North 70th and Fremont streets. The nearly 34,000-square-foot fenced area will include a centralized shade shelter, an interactive water table, and new play equipment to provide accessible and inclusive experiences. Construction is expected to be completed in mid-2025.

2024 Year in Review! EDUCATION

Higher education in Omaha is consistently changing and innovating as area colleges invest in their programs and facilities. Here we highlight the impact on our community.

COLLEGE OF SAINT MARY SEES NATIONAL RECOGNITION

This year, Niche ranked the college as the No. 1 college in Nebraska in four categories: Best Value College, Best College with No Application Fee, Best Small College, and Top Private University in Nebraska. The University was also ranked in the Top 5 in eight other categories.

2024 also saw two professors appointed to national boards.

Professor Kathleen Zajic was elected to a three-year term on the Board of Commissioners for the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. She will serve as a nurse educator representative-baccalaureate

Mary Smith, assistant professor of occupational therapy, was recently elected chairperson of the National Board of Certified Occupational Therapists, which provides initial and continued credentialing to occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants.

METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE CELEBRATES 50

Metropolitan Community College celebrated 50 years as an educational institution this year.

It penned an agreement with Midland University this year to help students transition from a two-year program to a four-year degree.

MCC received its largest-ever endowed scholarship from the Holland Foundation. The Dick and Mary Holland Scholarship, a $3 million scholarship program, will create pathways to postsecondary education in MCC skilled trades, health, and technical science programs for students residing in the college’s four-county service area.

The college also received a $50,000 grant award from the Johnny Baxter Carriage House Foundation. The grant will go toward helping Automotive Technology and Diesel Technology programs at the College. This will continue to provide resources and support early access for high school students interested in the trades.

UNMC ADDS NEW PROGRAMS, RANKS NATIONALLY

This year, UNMC added two big programs to its catalog.

It established the new Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree program at the College of Pharmacy. The 120-credit hour degree is intended to provide undergraduate education for students interested in an accelerated pathway toward a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, other health professional degrees or graduate programs, or entry-level careers.

It also established the Doctor of Nutrition and Dietetics program, to be housed within and administered by the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Allied Health Professions.

The U.S. News & World Report ranked UNMC based on its new four-tier system. UNMC was one of 15 organizations that ranked as a Tier 1 school for primary care training. UNMC also was named a Tier 2 medical school for research. There are 16 medical schools in Tier 1 and 36 in Tier 2.

INVESTING TO COMPETE NATIONALLY

The University of Nebraska Omaha saw several investments aimed at growing a competitive higher education institution.

Of note, art enthusiast Michael B. Jones pledged $1 million to establish the Michael Bruce Jones Chair in the School of the Arts at UNO.

UNO also received a $11 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Center for Cardiovascular Research in Biomechanics

The National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center at UNO also secured its first-ever patent for an innovative chatbot technology.

The STEM Trail reopened in its new space at Roskens Hall. The center now has a staff workspace, event space, and three classrooms. The center will house the annual Aim for the Stars camps and workshops for middle and high school teachers.

2024 Year in Review! HEALTH

CARE

FROM THE EDITOR:

Midlands health care organizations are making quality care more accessible. Here are some of the top investments in facilities and innovative technology.

EXPANDING CARE IN COUNCIL BLUFFS

Answering a need for more behavioral health services in Council Bluffs, Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital broke ground on a mental health facility in August.

“According to American Hospital Directory data, there is a shortfall of more than 300 inpatient behavioral health beds in Iowa and Nebraska,” said Dave Burd, president and CEO of Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital.

The facility, located at 3620 S. 24th St., will include 96 inpatient beds, with 24 reserved for children and adolescents. Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital is partnering with Acadia Health, one of the largest standalone behavioral health providers in the U.S. with over 200 locations, to help provide expertise in service.

The project is expected to cost $55 million.

AI-POWERED INSIGHTS IN HEALTH CARE

In an effort to make data-driven decisions more humanized, NRC Health launched a suite of AI-powered products to assist health care professionals.

• nGage provides feedback based on audio and video interactions between patients and employees.

• nQuire transforms data into feedback summaries in seconds based on comments from the customer database.

• nVolve is a predictive automated workflow platform that helps patients, employees, and employers engage at the right time to avoid or correct service issues.

• nLighten creates personalized narratives and competency summaries with actionable coaching to help clinical teams improve.

• nAct drafts recommended responses to empower teams to resolve alerts faster without adding to their workload.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE FACILITY OPENS

After over two years of planning, fundraising, and construction the Community Alliance opened its Center for Mental Health in June.

Located at 7150 Arbor St., the 127,000-square-foot facility aims to create a comprehensive center for care, bringing together psychiatry, primary care, and pharmacy under one roof.

Adding additional support, the facility also expands space for training, employment services, family education, day rehabilitation, crisis walk-ins, and call-in services.

“The center enables us to provide compassionate, responsive care to even more people, and it serves as a more visible resource for those in our community facing mental health issues and substance use challenges. We’re here to help anyone, any time, on the road to recovery,” said Aileen Brady, who became president and CEO in November.

The $67 million project was largely funded through private donations.

UNDERSTANDING MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

When your family member is having a medical emergency, the last thing you want is to be confused by the terminology describing the situation and solution.

Breanna Hetland has not only experienced that situation personally but also countless times throughout her 14-year career as a critical care nurse. After interviewing individuals with similar experiences, she created the Family Room app with the help of Greg Nelson.

The app helps patients and family members understand the terminology, and participate in the care process. The app received $900,000 in funding and began clinical trials in May.

2024 Year in Review! LEGISLATION

This year saw a bevy of economic initiatives and legislative updates.

CITY NEWS

MUNICIPAL INLAND PORT AUTHORITY

In April the Municipal Inland Port Authority statute was enacted. In June the city approved the board members in a 5-1 vote. The board members are: Brook Aken, OPPD director of economic development & external relations; Mike Helgerson, Metropolitan Area Planning Agency executive director; Davielle Phillips, Holland Basham architect; Jake Hoppe, Hoppe Development managing principal; Michael Riedmann, NP Dodge Real Estate president emeritus; Carmen Tapio, North End Teleservices CEO; State Senator Terrell McKinney; City of Omaha Chief of Staff Thomas H, Warren, Sr.; and Ernest White, American National Bank first vice-president.

The port, to be located in northeast Omaha, is intended to stimulate development in the area and serve as a regional merging point for multimodal transportation and distribution of goods.

NEBRASKA’S THE GOOD LIFE DISTRICTS

In April the legislature approved The Good Life Districts to create up to five centers to stimulate job growth and generate tourism centers. So far, Omaha, Bellevue, and Grand Island have been approved by the State.

Omaha’s Good Life District, named Avenue One, is being developed off of 192nd Street and West Dodge Road by developer Curt Hofer. The 200-acre development is expected to cost $1.4 billion and generate 4,000 jobs.

In Grand Island, Omaha-based Woodsonia Real Estate is developing an 875-acre site. The $5.5 billion investment is estimated to create 5,000 jobs.

In Bellevue, the city is developing the district off of Highways 75 and 35. The $1.34 billion development is estimated to create over 7,000 jobs.

NEBRASKA LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

• LB 856 provides a subsidy to child care workers to offset their low wages. It also allows child care workers to get a reduced rate for the care of their children. Additionally, the amendment allows them to enroll their kids in a different day care of their own so they do not need to take care of their own kids while working.

• LB 937 adopts the Caregiver Tax Credit Act to ensure family members who take care of their relatives with disabilities are paid for their critical caregiving work. During the General File, LB 58 was added to provide sales and use tax exemptions for diapers.

• LB 16 provided additional ways to license and recognize licenses from experienced workers who move to Nebraska from other states. LB 16 also includes language to allow interior designers to join a voluntary registry for their profession.

• LB 1087 implemented a new funding mechanism that could add $1 billion in additional federal funding to hospitals annually. Nebraska’s hospitals will pay an assessment to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services of up to 6% of net patient revenues. DHHS will then use money from the assessments as matching dollars to qualify the state’s hospital systems for more federal Medicaid funding.

• LB 1047, also known as the Nebraska Data Privacy Act, was passed and will go into effect on January 1, 2025. The Act applies to companies doing business in Nebraska or producing products or services consumed by Nebraskans, but not small businesses. It states that Nebraskans have the right to personal data information, and can request to review, correct, or delete said data.

• Initiative Measure 436, also known as the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplace Act, passed. Beginning October 1, 2025, small businesses with fewer than 20 employees will be required to offer 40 hours of paid sick leave per year. For businesses with more than 20 employees, the requirement is 56 hours of paid sick leave a year.

After several years of slow progress, the Omaha City Council penned an agreement to acquire the first phase of the Crossroads Development.

The $39 million agreement gives the city a more active role in the process and provides leverage if progress continues to be lethargic. The city will lease the land to Utah-based Woodbury Corporation.

Construction on phase one, which includes parking garages, apartments, and community spaces, is estimated to begin in Spring 2025. The 12-acre project is estimated to be completed by 2027.

While the development is still intended to be mixed-use, commercial space has been reduced, and residential space has been doubled, allowing for over 1,200 apartment units and 118 condos.

AIA Awards

Gretna East High School

DLR Group | Gretna Public Schools

Gretna, NE

The new 371,000-square-foot Gretna East High School campus eases capacity issues at the district’s existing school serving 1,600 students grades 9-12. The design is all about connections - from land to sky, interior to exterior, and most critically people to people. A special focus on site organization, building orientation, and access to exterior spaces and programs creates a unique learning experience for students. Beyond providing a safe and welcoming environment to serve the influx of students, this second high school celebrates the community’s culture of lifelong learning and embraces the history of the building site.

Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture | The Union for Contemporary Art Omaha, NE

The Union for Contemporary Art’s mission is to strengthen the cultural and social landscape through art. Designed to meet their programmatic needs and support the mission, the design team transformed and expanded a historic building into a new black box theater that includes a scene shop, rehearsal space, and reception area. The theater is modeled for maximum flexibility and offers multiple configuration options for various performance types. The building features a façade along busy 24th Street with windows into the rehearsal lobby, showcasing the theater’s inner activities.

La Vista City Centre - Parking Garage #2

DLR Group | City of La Vista La Vista, NE

Integral access to parking – within the developing at La Vista City Centre – is a critical element in the overall master plan. From 84th Street, architectural screens and integrated lighting repetitiously open creating a dynamic rhythm of light and shadow for those passing by. By framing the vertical circulation towers, the precast provides branding opportunities from the City of La Vista and City Centre while highlighting its presence as an indirect form of wayfinding. Directional cues of the perforated screens, stair runs, and curtain wall mullions collectively lean users toward the development’s primary entrance and create a holistic motif that carries through the project’s finer details.

General John W. Vessey Readiness Center

LEO A DALY | Minnesota Department of Military Affairs Arden Hills, MN

Readiness centers, historically known as “armories,” have dynamically shifted, reflecting the evolving needs and expectations of today’s service members. To accommodate those needs, this design breaks the historic mold of a standard readiness center, combining beauty with high-performance design. Anchored by a central hub, public spaces are designed to invite community members, dignitaries and the families of service members to participate in parades, ceremonies, and other public events. Gallery-like interiors, sculptural stairs, connection to the landscape, and art enhance the user experience of all who enter. Designed to serve today’s military with resilient design, this facility stands ready to adapt to modern needs/change (use, force structure, climate, unpredicted events, both natural and man-made).

Kiewit Hall

Clark & Enersen/Design Architect: Ballinger | University of Nebraska-Lincoln, College of Engineering Lincoln, NE

A new 182,000-square-foot learning and social nexus for the University of Nebraska College of Engineering (COE) is located on a strategic site responsive to a master plan’s vision for an iconic gateway building for both the campus and COE. As an “engineering” terminus to an existing city / campus street the facility anchors a vibrant new campus quad beyond that embraces existing engineering and residence halls to form a new campus living + learning community. A bridge connecting to an adjacent COE building and others, facilitates engineering community flow into the new building punctuated by a vertical atrium as an interdisciplinary hub located at the intersection of campus and engineering. As the first COE facility anticipating LEED and WELL Building certifications, progressive MEP systems reduce overall energy usage (EUI) by 78%. These systems include energy recovery wheels, chilled beams, heat recovery chillers and a geothermal field located below the new quad.

Borland Center for Music and Theatre

HDR/Sinclair Hille Architects | Concordia University, Nebraska Seward, NE

This University boasts a long-standing, nationally recognized music program. However, as time has progressed, advancements in acoustic science and technology, alongside the program’s growth and increased community engagement, necessitate a comprehensive renovation and expansion of the Music Center. While designed and constructed as a whole, the floors of the two wings did not align. This misalignment, with only a stair connection, has been a persistent challenge for the movement of instruments and equipment and has kept the facility from being accessible. This design solution demolishes the existing east wing, replacing it with a new addition that aligns with the first and second levels of the west wing and houses taller band and choir rooms, providing much needed acoustic spatial volume.

Omaha Box Building Renovation

HDR/Great Plains Studio | Ceres Group Omaha, NE

An engineering and manufacturing company in Omaha was drawn to purchasing the historic Omaha Box Building due to its unique feature of a railroad line running through the eastern part of the warehouse. The original timber-framed building from the 1890s was repurposed into a central hub for office and workplace functions within the organization. To enhance natural lighting and visibility, a section of the second floor was removed. Additionally, warehouse features such as fire-rated barn doors and vintage wooden carts were salvaged and incorporated into the design, contributing to the development of a distinctive vintage warehouse aesthetic.

Elder Theatre Renovation

HDR | Nebraska Wesleyan University Lincoln, NE

This theatre center renovation is a tale of transformation. The design’s mission is to support the educational journey of theatre students while creating a dynamic performance venue for audience members. The building, constructed circa 1980, while designed with the best technology and practices of the day, was due for several upgrades. Off the main lobby, one enters a dramatically contrasted immersive environment of the proscenium theatre. The existing main house was re-conceived with a simple, bold enclosure of light at the human scale. Hugging patrons with dynamic color-changing light, the pattern of perforations is the conversion of theatrical performance audio recordings into a physical artifact, creating a unique, memorable, and immersive experience.

The Grove Juicery - West

Actual Architecture Company | The Grove Juicery + Wellness Café

Elkhorn, NE

For a new location, and prototype for the expanding The Grove Juicery, the architects designed a calming space to enhance the local business’ passion for natural health, wellbeing & sustainability. The interior at The Grove Juicery offers an unexpected contrast to its new strip mall location using White Oak dowels to wrap primary spaces and create an ambient lighting effect softening the hard edges of partitions and demising walls. The working bar and open door to the prep area allow patrons to see staff producing juices on site (all production is local to the store) while a relaxing banquette adds color and encourages people to linger. The dowels and an abundance of living plants lend the space a biophilic quality and forest grove-like effect adding visual depth to the narrow retail bay.

Gretna East High School

DLR Group | Gretna Public Schools

Gretna, NE

The new 371,000-square-foot high school campus eases capacity issues at the district’s existing school serving 1,600 students grades 9-12. This sophisticated new high school is all about connections. From land to sky, interior to exterior, and most critically people to people. The building, situated on a prior agricultural field, recreates the clean lines and depth of the tilled rows of land that had previously existed on the site. The building is oriented on a singular axis facing east to west and connects the academic learning commons and outdoor courtyard to the terminus of the building, the green space plaza. Secondary connections are made with large expanses of glazing at the end of each hallway to seamlessly guide users throughout the building, while still feeling connected to nature. We utilized a restrained but very intentional material palette on this project, focusing on extremely durable materials with a long life-cycle and a neutral but warm palette. Category: Excellence in

St. Mary’s Campus

Reddymade + Actual Architecture Company |

St. Mary’s Catholic Church - Lincoln Lincoln, NE

On the Community Campus, every individual – from devoted parishioners to curious visitors – can embark on a journey of profound connection, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. Located on the corner of Centennial Mall opposite the Nebraska State Capitol, the expanded campus – with the historic church building as its centerpiece – is envisioned as both a place of worship and a vibrant center of community life. A new mixed-use building replaces two derelict structures, breathing new life into the area. The new building pulls back from the urban edge to reveal the church and focus views toward the Capitol. The gently curved facade cradles a semicircular public plaza and event space. The new building is envisioned as a mass timber structure. The curving fritted glass facade welcomes the visitors with a large-scale image pattern generated by an artist in the local community.

Endless Journey Serenity Village

Holland Basham Architects | Endless Journey

Omaha, NE

Change is at this project’s core. The client is a hospice service wanting to change the paradigm around hospice, viewing death as transitional on the path of an endless journey. The intent was to create a community for individuals sharing similar challenges, providing a sense of belonging, understanding, and support. The campus consists of several 12-suite homes to provide hospice in a serene atmosphere. The research and planning process is a testimonial to Integration and Discovery. We conducted exercises applying senses to the experience within the space and used sensory mapping to determine optimal home sites, transforming the experience into reality while supporting concepts with data.

IN THE spotlight

CLT Cottage

Other Office Architects Lincoln, NE

In an attempt to address the need for affordable housing in Lincoln, Nebraska, the CLT Cottage proposes the strategic utilization of the city’s endangered ash trees to create compact, cross-laminated timber housing units that can be situated on sites within the city’s existing neighborhoods. Reminiscent of the cottage court typology of the early 20th century, the CLT Cottage clusters provide an alternative to normative housing models that emphasize community inclusion and integration. At just over 270 square feet in overall size, each CLT Cottage pushes all storage space and built-in furniture elements to the exterior wall in order to create an open, flexible space at the center of the home. The plan also includes strategically positioned fenestration that provides ample daylighting, natural cross ventilation, and direct views of the surrounding landscape and outdoor spaces within the cottage court cluster.

Holland Basham Architects/ Design Architect: Ennead Architects | Omaha Performing Arts Omaha, NE

The stair is both an object in space as well as an integrated element of the overall expression of the interior through its use of steel and concrete. It is both a quiet yet strong expression of how powerful a restrained approach to design can be while celebrating a material’s inherent qualities. The main function of the building is a music venue. While the aesthetic is a moody, industrial vibe with clean lines and hard surfaces, crystal clear sound was top priority.

Steelhouse Omaha Monumental Stair

Sylvan Lake Stair

Actual Architecture Company | Donovan & Joanne Nielsen

Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada

The stair is a prominent feature of a home occupying a narrow lot on a large, recreational lake midway between Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Material selections are at a minimum, maintaining the prominence of the lake and surrounding woods. The handrail is a solid White Oak block attached to a steel angle extending inward from the guardrail to afford a graspable edge. The handrail, steel angle, plates and solid Oak stair are all articulated as assembled parts while concealing the rough framing inside.

The Riverfront Attractor

Landon Healy, AIAS

Kansas City, MO

This proposed riverfront venue is ideally located to connect city residents with the water. Its design allows for continual adaptation to current and future trends in sports and entertainment, ensuring that the community actively engages in shaping the space’s usage.

Category: 25-Year Award

SAC Museum

LEO A DALY | SAC Museum Memorial Society

Ashland, NE

The museum highlights two notable structural solutions. First, the lobby is enclosed in an insulated, glass-clad, space frame system that is the focal point of the museum design, acting as a hinge space between the two galleries. This architectural feat fills the volume with natural light making it a welcoming entry, incredible event space, and perfect area to dramatically display the SR-71 Blackbird. Second, the two aircraft gallery wings include a long-span curved truss system providing a 270 foot clear span. Today, the museum remains a popular amenity and is one of Nebraska’s great museums. In 2023 it was named a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner.

A (Humble) HFS Victory Lap

Investing isn’t easy. It’s incredibly competitive and attracts many intelligent minds due to the stakes at hand. It is impacted by many variables, and most of the important ones that move the market are unknown and under constant change. Then there is the human element of it, which at times can prove to be the most challenging. As we reflect on the past year, HFS’ 2024 outlook proved to be fairly accurate. This is not something that we take for granted or expect to achieve with precise accuracy on an annual basis. Thankfully, to be successful at investing, you don’t need to be right all the time – just more than you’re wrong.

At the time, our bullish 2024 outlook was met with a fair amount of skepticism. Recession was still on the minds of many, and consensus was looking for subdued gains – less than 2% on average according the 20 price target estimates from Wall Street strategists submitted to Bloomberg. Many notable firms, such as JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo, were forecasting negative returns in 2024 for the S&P 500. Even our home office, Northwestern Mutual, was very vocal calling for a recession and was uneasy with our optimism.

However, we were looking at the market in a different way. While we consider macro factors, that’s not our only lens. We also gather intelligence at the ground level by listening to corporate earnings calls in various sectors. Here, there wasn’t pervasive talk about recession. Instead, consumer spending remained healthy and corporate spending on advertising and computing infrastructure was beginning to reaccelerate. This was the first part of our bullish thesis – corporate earnings were rebounding.

The second part was that the Fed wasn’t going to cause any more proverbial pain with rate hikes. Unlike many others, we didn’t think the market needed interest rate cuts for stocks to move higher. Rather, we felt that the equities just needed a firm ground to continue their recovery from a broad bear market in 2022. HFS believed that all was needed was for the Fed to get out of the way.

Lastly, we felt that the opportunity of artificial intelligence wasn’t being fully appreciated by investors. At the beginning of 2024, there were many

skeptics of this emerging technology. Some joked about how frequent firms mentioned the term “AI” on their conference calls, suggesting that a lot of it was just shallow hype – vaporware. Even the few that were believers assumed that the opportunity was missed, judging by the strong gains in Nvidia’s stock during 2023. HFS felt otherwise – the AI opportunity was just in its early innings of massive transformation. It was going to happen regardless of inflation, the next Fed move, or who would win the Presidential Election.

We thank our loyal clients and readers of this publication. We hope even those outside of the HFS family were able to use our investment perspective to their advantage.

Happy holidays!

Midwest Leaders Q&A

BREANNA HETLAND CO-FOUNDER & CEO, FAMILY ROOM APP

Midwest Leaders is a weekly section showcasing individuals who are making an impact in our community through their professional and volunteer endeavors. If you’d like to nominate someone for this section, email news@mbj.com with the individual name, position, company and email.

BREANNA HETLAND

Bio

Illonois-native Breanna Hetland moved to Omaha in 2017 to join UNMC’s College of Nursing as an assistant professor. She also joined Nebraska Medicine as a nurse scientist where her research focuses on merging technology with nonpharmacological health approaches to “positively engage patients and family caregivers during critical illness experience.” Her passion for ICU families is driven by her experience as an ICU nurse, and her father’s brainstem stroke in 2013.

What brought you to the health care field?

My path to health care began like many others, with a natural inclination to care for others and a passion for science. As a child, I constantly tried to rescue injured animals (much to my mother’s dismay), and in high school, my first Anatomy and Physiology class ignited a deeper curiosity.

But my journey into nursing? That was serendipitous. At 17, I walked into the wrong summer program seminar, one for pre-nursing instead of pre-med. That “mistake” turned out to be life-changing, leading me to switch my career path to nursing.

I read that you chose to forgo a fast-track BSNto-PhD degree and returned after graduation to her hometown of Bartonville, Illinois, instead to work in a medical ICU. What inspired that decision?

After earning my nursing degree summa cum laude while juggling multiple jobs between clinical hours and classes, I was joyfully tired and ready for a break from academia. I chose to return to my hometown and start my nursing career. During this time, I found myself determined to pave a new path. When I was honest with myself, I knew that school had what I was exceptionally good at. Following my undergraduate mentor’s advice, I interviewed with several doctoral programs and secured a coveted position with a world-renowned ICU researcher at the University of Minnesota.

When I was interviewing for my doctoral I needed a ride from the airport, and a friend of a friend offered to help. That person later became my husband. We married 22 months later, proving that sometimes the best paths are the ones we don’t meticulously plan.

You’ve been working on Family Room, an app that will help family members understand the medical jargon, since 2018. Did you ever think you’d be helping create an app?

How do you take care of your mental health while balancing a research career, creating an app, and being present for your family?

One of my favorite quotes is, “You can’t always be motivated, so you must always be disciplined.”

With three kids under 6 and a spouse who also holds a professional role, this mindset is essential.

We’ve created non-negotiable routines: we fiercely protect 6:30-8:00 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. as family time only. We each make it to the gym at least three times a week and prioritize meal prep. When fatigue sets in — and it does — I lean into my faith and work to shift my mindset. I’ve learned to view my multiple roles as spouse, mother, and innovator as gifts rather than burdens.

I can choose to focus on weariness, or I can embrace being purposefully and joyfully worn-out.

As an Omaha transplant, what has been one of your favorite finds in Omaha?

In a previous life (before little kids), my husband and I were big adventurers and low-key foodies. So my favorite finds in Omaha revolve around food, drink, and fellowship. I will never turn down an opportunity for a meal at Block 16, ice cream at Coneflower or Dairy Chef, or coffee at Karma or Stories.

New Affordable Housing Community UNDERWAY IN

Council Bluffs will soon be home to a new housing community, Union at Bluffs Run. The Annex Group, an Indiana-based developer, announced plans for the community on Dec. 5. The community will include one, two and three-bedroom units for households whose income level is at or below 60 percent of the area median income. The $58.2 million community will be located at 2430 S. 19th St. “Everything about this community has been decided with future residents in mind,” said Derek Hays, Director of Development for The Annex Group in a news release. “We truly believe it will enhance the surrounding community and be a welcome place for people to gather and enjoy life. With the help of incredible partners, we’re creating a community that we are very proud of.”

A ceremonial groundbreaking took place Dec. 11. The community is expected to open in fall 2026.
