Good morning, and welcome to the show. Jeff Beals at

any further ado Fellas, let's go into our news of
the week, and it is brought to you by Eagle
Mortgage Eagle Mortgage Company dot com. You can find them
in person at one hundred and fourteenth and Davenport. But
know this, if you are even thinking about buying a house,
one of the very first things you want to do
is contact the Eagle Mortgage. They are a broker, so
(04:14):
they're not beholden to one bank. They can shop the
market find the best lending solution for you and your
unique circumstances. And I don't care whether you're going conventional
FHAVA even some of those specialty loans that they do
take good care of. You get yourself a pre approval
letter from Eagle Mortgage. Like I said earlier, you can
get a hold of them by going to Eagle Mortgage
(04:37):
Company dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So Trenton and Brad.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
We've got some really cool stuff coming to the Planning
Board here pretty soon at the September meeting, which I
assume is next week. And this is all in the
Millwork Commons there. Millwork Commons is part of North Downtown.
It is north of Charles schwab Field. It is ain't
by the master Craft and the Ashton buildings. And here
(05:04):
are the he Low apartments. Hello apartments would be right
north of the Ashton building. And here are some of
the things that we have queued up before the Planning
Board for the Milwark Commons area. First of all, and
we did report this one a couple weeks ago. City
of Omaha plans a six hundred stall parking garage to
the east of the Ashton building, so on the north
(05:26):
side of Nicholas Street. But in addition to that, now
developers have plans to build a forty four million dollar
multifamily building west of the Ashton building. This thing would
have five stories and one hundred and forty six units
along with ten thousand square feet of retail space. Meanwhile,
(05:46):
that's not all. To the south of the Ashton building
is the Dizzy Mule project. It's been going on for
a while. It's a square block and the Dizzey Mule
coming along nicely. It was part historic renovation, part new construction.
One hundred and seventy two residential units going there. But
the northeast corner of that block was an historic building
(06:08):
called the Radford that hadn't been touched. It wasn't part
of the Dizzey Mule project, and now plans call for
that to become a one hundred and thirty five room
boutique hotel, fifty seven million dollar project, keeping the building,
keeping the building. And Brad, I want to I want
to throw this over to you because you know you've
looked into this quite a bit, all these things going
(06:30):
on to the Millwork Commons district. But this is this
is huge because we already have a lot of momentum there.
Here's three more projects.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, and don't forget last planning board or two planning
boards ago. There was also a building on the east
side of Eleventh Street that was going to be a
multi story residential with ground floor retail that's not even
part of all these projects you just talked about. Now,
the one thought I had about this whole Millberg commentary is,
right now the streetcar is going to dead end essentially
in front of chi Heuse Center in the ballpark. There's
(07:02):
this would be a perfect opportunity to extend that north
and just make a loop around the Millwork Commons and
come back south. To me, it'd be just like down
in Kansas City, it's the North River Market, I believe, yep,
the north end of their street car line just makes
a big two block loop and turns around and heads
back south. This would be a very similar area. They
(07:24):
could do that, and it really just be a great
end to the street car line up there.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, I think the street car is just such a
game changer. And you know, it started as a dream,
and it still has a lot to go obviously, but
you know, everything's committed. And I just listed to property
at twenty nine oh nine Harney Street, a small building
under four thousand feet right at the entrance the four
to eighty southbound. It's got a drive door, eb painting,
(07:52):
and it's for sale. It's hard to find small buildings,
whether it's a human cave or a or a studio
or sales and service.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Those are hard to find. So if everybody's looking for
a small building called Trenton. You know.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
One more thing about the Milvert Commons area is even
with all these new projects, there's still a ton of
available land up there. I mean, there's a ton of
potential yet even though we're seeing all this activity.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That's a good point because and it's builder flat, like, yeah,
that's perfect Trenton because you can yeah, you can get
going there pretty easily. But there's about twenty acres of
Union Pacific land there that Union Pacific pretty much doesn't use.
There's some industrial buildings that are underutilized. And then there's
even more Union Pacific land to the west. Yeah, that
could become a very dense area. And there's an organization,
(08:39):
a philanthropic organization, a bunch of stakeholders, Future Forward that
they've sold a couple pieces to active developers and stuff.
But it's in good hands so they want to kind
of control the look and the progress of that whole area.
So you're gonna see more and more around that area.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
A couple other news items here. The small construction has
started on the Old Market gardens. This is going to
be a pocket park planned for the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and Levenworth, which is kind of the southwest corner
of the Old Market. Small, it's only one point two
acres and it is if you can close your eyes
and picture that area. You have the Beamis Center for
(09:21):
contemporary Art on that square block, as well as a
very small historic building that probably only has a footprint
of about five or six hundred square feet. The rest
of it has all been just kind of nothing. There
was a community garden there that I remember was flooded
a couple of years ago, and some parking. The rest
(09:41):
of all they're going to save that little historic building,
obviously the Beama Center. The rest of it will be
this park that will have gardens, public art, a cafe,
play area for kids. It's going to be really really
nice and presumably will spark some more development in that
part of.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
The Old Market.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
That part of the Old Market really, if we could
get that to grow and be a vibrant area that
really connect downtown to Thirteenth Street. Right now, there's just
kind of a void in that, you know, Union Pacific
Railroad area. If we could get more activity in the
area to tie in the thirteenth Street. It's going to
be a great area, Trenton.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You and I have talked a lot the last couple
of few weeks about all of this growth at the
Med Center. You know, we've been talking a lot about
this three hundred and eighty foot tall hospital and all
that sort of thing. Well, now the steel has gone
vertical on the southwest corner of Farnham and Saddle Creek,
and that is where the sixth story UNMC Campus Operations
(10:38):
and Research Excellence Building is now going up really fast.
There's also a seven level parking garage going up in
that area. The Catalyst building is still under development. West
part of the Med Center is Enfuego.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, it's amazing to see and you can see it
all on at groma dot com. The projects. But the
whole district that the development district over there in the
Saddle Creek area, they've really made a concentration on how
do we master plan this whole area, how do the
different developers work together with the city to just keep
it thriving.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And don't forget that Omaha's favorite bird count has gone
up by one for that project too.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's right. Tower cranes.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Ah, Yeah, we love ourselves some tower cranes here on GROLLMHA.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes your News of the week,
which is brought to you by Eagle Mortgage Eagle Mortgage
Company dot com. Going to take our first break of
the hour, and when we come back, you know what's
on the other side. It's our call in. Shall we
do this about every two months? This is your chance
(11:39):
to ask questions. You know, we always have people that
come up to Trenton and Brad and me at social
gatherings and things like that, and they say, Brad, what's
going on at the corner of whatever and whatever Trenton?
What are they building along the Dodge Expressway. If you
have ever wondered that, this is your chance call us
four oh two five five eight eleven ten. Phone lines
(12:00):
are open four O two five five eight eleven ten.
Call now. Ask your questions about growth and development and
construction projects. It's a lot of fun for us to

to grow Omaha, brought to you by Dingman's Collision Center
along with Cheer Athletics on News Radio eleven ten kfab
and welcome back to the show. Jeff Beals, Trenton Maggott
(12:22):
and Brad Williams at your service, Brad with Brad Williams
Photography and Ena Consulting. It's the call in show. We've
got three people queued up right now, get to them
in just a moment. The phone number is four oh two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten if you want.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
To join them.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Thank you to Dingman's Collision Center and Cheer Athletics for
being our sponsor. Cheer Athletics is the nation's number one
all star cheer Jim and here in the Omaha area
can find them southwest of Highways fifty and three seventy
in Papillion. Let's go straight to our calls and we're
going to go right here in the order in which
(12:58):
they came in, and our first person is Mary. Good morning, Mary,
and welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Good morning, Hi there.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
What's your question today, Mary?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
It's two parts. The first part of my question is
in the list that you mentioned at the beginning of
the show, will there be a list for happy hours?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We actually do have a list for happy hours, and
so if you go to list on the drop down menu,
happy Hours is one of them. In fact, our partner
Cam Vassak, who created all of that, that was the
very first one she did.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So, yes, there are happy hours, very good, You're good, okay.
And then the second part is at one hundred and
forty fourth and Dodge at the Heartwood Preserve. Years ago
I read about a community, a development they were going
to do that was individual houses, a neighborhood of sorts
that might be geared towards the senior population. Do you
(13:51):
know what I'm talking about? And are those plans still
in play?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I know that they have Progressive Living over their National Developer,
the one that burned, and some other buildings, but that's
multifamily obviously, And I know there's a bunch of single
family houses and you know, lots that they get a
pretty penny for. But as far as like age restricting them,
I'm not sure, Brad, you.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Know I have I don't haven't heard anything in a
long time. Jeff looks like he found the answer for you, though.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, we have something a new residential phases in the
works at Heartwood Preserved, just to the north of the
Ovation Senior Living facility. Now it's not going to be
single family houses. It was originally slated to be an
office building, but it looks like they're trying to change
it to three six story buildings with thirty six condo
(14:37):
units in each. There was and I know there was
talk about what you are talking about as well. I
know this, Mary, that's a multi phase project that's going
to take many, many years. So I would I would
think a lot of things are possible there. We just
kind of wait and see.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
They describe houses that would have front porches and sidewalk,
you know, like your community, and it appealed to me
at the time. They also said it would probably take
fifteen years to come through fruition.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, I know, I'm sack. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I remember exactly what you're talking about. That was
in the original plan. And my guess is there's probably
a good chance that's still a plan, but we don't.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Know for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And Mary, in addition to the happy hours, they also
have daily specials for restaurants cam Vasik put on there.
The thing I think is the coolest is event spaces.
So if you have a family reunion, you have a wedding,
you have whatever, you have birthday party, you can type
in by many fields and search at the same time
(15:41):
as far as the number of people, what part of Omaha,
whether they cater all those kinds of things. And we
get all that asked all the time. You know, where
should I have my event? So check that out too.
All right, thanks Mary, We're going to go.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's very helpful. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Thanks Mary.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We're going to go to our next caller, and we
have Joe with a question about Ashland. Good morning, Joe,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I was wondering.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Any future residential plants going on in Ashland.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay, we're looking at each other right now.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Wasn't there one on the north side of Ashland proposed
a couple of years ago, But I don't know that
I've heard anything about that recently.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
My guess is that we are probably a couple years
away from seeing a lot of residential development in Ashland.
You know, we've seen quite a bit of development around
those lakes that are on the what east northeast side
of Ashland. My guess is that will continue some momentum
into other parts of the area. And we've also had
(16:45):
some cool commercial development that just opened recently, steakhouse fast
food restaurant in that area. I think it's just a
matter of time before Ashland probably experiences somewhat of a
housing boom and becomes the next Gretna. But that's what
we know so far. And Joe, we appreciate your calling,
and we're next going to go to Rick. Rick has
(17:07):
a question about one hundred and sixty eighth to night.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Good morning, Rick, Well, good morning to the Three Musketeers.
And yeah, my question is one hundred and sixty eighth
and on the Northwest corner, they're starting to do dirt
work again. But two years ago on your show, you
said that there was a plan to have a Fairway
grocery store going there, but I hadn't heard anything since then.
(17:31):
Is that still going in or with anything new that's
planned in there.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know there's commercial going on some from our office
is marketing some of that, but I'm not sure whether
specifically it's a Fairway or a supermarket.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You know, Fairway seemed like they were very interested in
a lot of sites in northwest Omaha a couple of
years ago, and as far as I've heard, a lot
of that has died down, especially after that one out
there on what was one hundred and thirty second Ford Open.
I haven't heard any activity because they were looking at
a couple different lots. The one hundred and sixtieth and
Ida that you're seeing now is a daycare.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh, that's a daycare right now. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So the old saying in real estate development is that
retail follows rooftops. And if you look at the overall
metro area, there are about three places where you're seeing
a heavy presence of new rooftops under construction, and clearly
that one hundred and sixty eighth and Ida area is
one of them. That arc from Elkhorn to Bennington is
(18:33):
just exploding with new houses. Therefore, we would expect within
the next three to five years to see a heck
of a lot of retail development. I would say that
retail follows rooftops, churches and gas stations churches, and that
is true because they do all seem to kind of
go together that way.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
And all the infrastructure is now in for that northwest
corner of one hundred SIXTIETHH in Itis, so if someone
wanted to build, they could get going quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, So we appreciate you making that call, Rick, And
looks like we have someone calling in just right now.
That's great. We would love to have a lot of
you call in. The number is four O two five
five eight eleven ten. Four oh two five five eight
eleven ten. We're going to break for the news, but
when we come back, we're going to take more calls.
(19:21):
Looks like the caller that just called in as Betty.
Hang tight, Betty, you're first, but after Betty, there is
room for you. Four oh two five five eight eleven ten.
We have Brad Williams with us assisting with a call
in show. He's our regular, frequent contributor and you know him,
you love him just like we do. Want to thank
Dingman's Collision Center along with Cheer Athletics for making all
of this possible, and we'll be back after this on
(19:43):

on at one of the many Notle Companies projects in
the metro area and ladies and gentlemen, there are.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A lot of them.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Nottle Companies is doing a Sarbon Village, the Builders District
in north downtown, River's Edge and Council Bluffs, the Village
Point West Medical Campus. They're doing Steel Ridge out in
the Papilion Gretna area, and so many more. They're famous
for so many amazing buildings like you know, the HDR headquarters,
the Valmont headquarters. We could go on and on. Not
All Companies does an outstanding job of building our built environment.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Our news in this week's segment is at Xarbon Village

It's now available at the Backstretch Bar inside the InterRail

the bar in the middle Great Barts called the backstretch.
You can now get go shark Utery Omaha. There and

you want to learn more about Nodle Companies and the
mini projects they do, just go to Nottelecompanies dot com
or check out their Facebook page. It's the call in
show and we have five people queued up, so we're
(21:33):
going to get to those five, and the first one
patiently waiting is Betty. Good morning, Betty, and welcome to
the show.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Good morning, Thank you for taking my cap. I was
wondering at one hundred and three seventh in Maple next
to the Burger King something stand built.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah, it's a Chase Bank, right yeah, Chase Bank, one
of the two big banks expanding in Omaha right now.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, Chase Bank and Bank of America. You know, basically
the largest banks in the country are just going all
over the Omaha area.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And that is another Chase Banks. So Mary, apparently.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
FMBO makes it look easy. Betty, we appreciate you calling
and thanks for your patience. And now we go to Tyler.
Good morning, Tyler. You're next on grow Omaha. Tyler, you
have a question about Springfield going once going twice. No, Tyler,
(22:27):
all right, hopefully things work out a little bit better
for Carl, who has a question about the Amazon building
in Council of Bluffs.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Good morning, Carl, Hey, good morning. Yes, I'm curious to
know what's going on with that Amazon building over in
Council Bluff. It got built, it was busy for a while,
then it's gone dormant. I see there's been a little
bit of activity happening. So what's happening there. Thank you
for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
You know, didn't they overbuild at one time? Like I
don't know that the one on North seventy second ever
really got going.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And they build these things, Carl, and then they put
them in mothballs for a while, and we've never heard like,
you know, we do a lot of industrial space, and
we never hear about like, hey, we want to fill
this building for a couple of years and because we're
short on warehouse space. But my guess is that, you know,
there's factors outside of Omaha that also decide when these
come online. Even the big one, you know, a couple
(23:19):
of million square feet and papillion, it took like a
year to open, So it'll be interesting to see. But
thanks for bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Well, we have to keep in mind too, guys, that
that project was spawned during the pandemic time where the
e commerce stuff was just blowing up like crazy. You know,
that was right when they built that one and counts Bluffs,
which is between two and three hundred thousand square feet.
They built one that wasn't quite as big that Brad
referred to earlier, seventy second, just south of six eighty.
(23:48):
And yes, Brad, the last time I drove by that
a couple of weeks ago, it was still very.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Very obviously empty.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So my thought is Amazon's already one of the biggest
corporations in the world. They know they're going to continue
to grow, and so they have the capacity now. All right,
thank you so much Carl for that call. We're now
going to go to Matt, which who has a call
about one hundred and twentyeth then l good morning Matt.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Yeah, I was wondering there's supposed to be a Burger
Detour going in there. This team's dormant now, yeah, anything.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So that would be the third site that we know
of for Burger Detour. The you know, a brand new concept,
and they decided to build three pretty much all it once,
but they built two and this one seems to be
lagging behind. You know, they built that retaining wall, and
the owner of Burger Detour spent a fortune on this site.
And there's talk about a coffee shop and maybe like
a some kind of a car wash or something, but
(24:39):
we haven't heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Brad. Do you see anything coming through? Na, No, we
didn't work on that but that I know of. But
I will say that the one on one hundred or
two hundred fourth in Pacific just finally open. They had
a couple of delays and it finally got opened. So
maybe now that that's open, they'll shift their attention.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And I think I think, you know, it's unique, but
it's also always fe should I think they try to
be like in an out burger, because it'll be a
whild before we get in an out burger here.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I've been there, I think twice, and I thought
it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I still haven't tried it. I got to get over
and try one of those one of these days. All right, Matt,
we appreciate the call, and we now go to Clyde.
Good morning, Clyde, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, Good morning guys, and God bless this show.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Thanks really wonderful.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Thank you all right out here and think of Gretna
Highway six Cornhusker Road, get see in the area. Then
you had Eastern Cornhusker Road. Uh, you know it's just
railroad bridge that's still out and is there ever any
hope you think of Cornhusker opening up? So there's you know,
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
That is one of the coolest old rickety bridges like
wood or something. I think it's like built like a
nuclear fallout shelter if I remember creak, big thick concrete, Okay,
and you couldn't fit two cars through it at the
same time. My guess, and this is just a Jeff
guessing here, is that you have to coordinate with the
(26:06):
county or the city of Gretna. You have to coordinate
with what is that Burlington Northern Santa Fe being SF
that goes to there. My guess is it's going to
be very, very.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Expensive and someone or some people are procrastinating on that
one because that's going to be a big, big deal,
uh redoing that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But but it's needed.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It's it's gonna like remember those commercials with a god
awful bridge by Mingleson's.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, for people that are old enough, people used to
say Mangleson's one of a kind kind of everything store
just north of that awful tunnel.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And that was that was like a very skinny tunnel
that became a huge expanse of a Union Pacific big bridge.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But it wasn't as skinny as this one. This one
is way skinnier than that one.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Was it out.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I think they just the road because they don't want
people going through there because it's just too narrow.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But but people taking their redding pictures there.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
My guess was that that road started seeing too much
traffic for the size of that bridge, and as a
safety reason, they just close the road. And they don't
have anything in place yet to reopen it, don't have.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The budget for it, but at some point Clyde, they're
going to have to do it because that areas is
going to grow and grow and grow.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Appreciate the question and appreciate the kind words about the show,
and we next go to Tie one hundred and forty
fourth in Platview. Good morning, Tie, and welcome.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Good morning, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, the question is one hundred and forty fourth in
plat View in Springfield. I know that they're putting in
a Believe tractor supply, but I was wondering what else
they have developmently planned for that area. Maybe a grocery store.
That was our hopes.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
It's been a lot of industrial so far, some of
the developments that I've worked on out that way. They're
kind of waiting to see where the actual final alignment
of plat View Road ends up. There was three SOFTA
County was looking at three different options for plat View Road,
and I think they developers really want to see where
that road's going to be before they invest too much more.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And that expressway, hopefully we'll live to see it, but
you know, all the way from my twenty nine basically
to the outlet mall will be probably four lanes, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Okay, so Ty, we appreciate your call and thanks for calling,
and we now go to our final call of the morning,
and the honor of that goes to our friend Joe
with a question about one hundred ninety second and for
good morning.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Joe, Good morning, thanks for taking my call. Just want
if you know of any plans yet for development on
the south side of Fort Street between like one eighty
third and one ninety second between Fort and that established
neighborhood there, and also specifically anything on the southeast corner
of one ninety second and Fort.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
So we've worked on a lot of those residential subdivisions
up there, and the only thing I've seen is more residential.
I haven't seen any kind of commercial activity or anything.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
There's finally got Fort Street all open in that area,
and so that's really going to help get more people
out there, but so far just all residential.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Once you see the gas stations and the churches, retails
next Joe.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, and that's kind of what we were talking about earlier, guys,
that the single family housing growth in that area is
very impressive and it's just a matter of time. You know,
if you drive around those Northwest corridors in that Elkhorn
Bennington area up there, you'll notice lots of housing going on,
but lots of somewhat smallish to medium size pieces on
(29:30):
the corners that are reserved.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's going to be your future commercial well, and the
fact that the infrastructure is getting done. Just like on
West Maple we developed one hundred and sixty eight one
hundred and seventy seventh on the north side where walmart
Is and Harley Dudson all that stuff. We knew that
the infrastructure was pretty much in. There's some turning lanes
that need to be done and stuff like that, but
that's what they need. They need the infrastructure, the sewers,
the utilities, everything else. And now you're going to start
(29:52):
getting retail, but it'll take a couple of years and.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
They need the people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And with that, we appreciate the call, Joe, and we're
going to take our final break of the hour, and
you know what that means. When we come back, it's
the Perkins Chritzer Construction Lightning Round. I'm looking at the
list and there are a lot of things on it,
so stay with us. You don't want to miss any

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, in the tent, so yeah. Next weekend is the
annual Rockbrook Village Art Fair. It's been around for like
fifty five years now. One hundred and eighth in Pacific
or one hundred eighth in Center. We'll be there Saturday
and Sunday ten to five on Sunday ten to six
on Saturday. It's the biggest art fair in the area
and one of the longest running art fairs. I can
totally picture it. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We got a couple few restaurant things to bring up today.
Good looking. The Breakfast and Lunch Cafe at forty nine
nineteen Underwood here in Dundee plans to open a second location,
the former Austin Steaks and Saloon Space one hundred and
sixty eighth and West Dodge Road. Opening daties yet to
be announced. Cone Amor, a Latin inspired restaurant, will soon
(32:11):
open in Valley, Nebraska at two fifteen North Spruce Street.
It's in the former Simply Delicious space. Tentative opening date
is about three weeks from now. The restaurant focuses on
authentic Latin, Central and South American dishes infused with the
owner's unique flavors. Currently is available for takeout, though, but
(32:32):
it looks like the seating is just not quite there yet,
will be soon. They're looking for a head chef Olast Soul,
a new Korean Mexican fusion food concept, will open inside
Camp Blackstone the Food Hall at thirty six eighteen Farnham
Street on September sixth. It'll celebrate its grand opening with
(32:53):
some really cool stuff coming up, So put September sixth on.
If you like both Korean, if you like both Korean
and me Excan food, why not put them together? Who
doesn't and I love them both. Tea Time has opened
at one hundred and forty fifth and West Maple Road
in the Shops of Greyhawk. The business focuses on beverages
(33:15):
with authentic Chinese flavor, from classic milk teas to fruit blends,
and Starbucks Coffee is building a free standing store with
a drive through in the stony Brook area near one
hundred and forty fourth and stony Brook Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Finally we're getting another Starbucks, thank god. Eight of them
are going up now. LASiS gentlemen, in addition to the
other ones. The only thing I can think of it's
a liquid business, That's the joke.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I like to use a lot construction site for this one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
In Stonybrook, though, is right in front of HIGHV Grocery
store and south of the Chipotle that is right there.
Brad Runza is planning to rebuild its former restaurant at
nine to six five South seventy second Street, many many
years ago. It was Aroncos. You took a photograph of it.
We had it as a Project of the Day a
few days ago. But the Runza is going to become
(34:07):
a Rnza.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Still can't figure out yet. I haven't seen a building permit.
If it's getting torn down or just remodeled.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, the science has rebuild, rebuild.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah, that's vague, so you would.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Think tear down, but we don't know for sure. I
want to give a shout out to my friend Dan
Rudolph for that. For many years, he has been the
head of real estate for Runs. I did a few
deals with him and Dan Rudolph does a great job.
And congratulations to Runs on their growth.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay, the targeted opening date for Legos first Nebraska store
is September twentieth, So a lot of Lego fans out
there that's coming up a lot, a lot sooner. It'll
be here before you know it. It's gonna be a
twenty one hundred square foot space just a little bit
to the east of Vineyard vines at Nebraska Crossing.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
There's no hepe for that opening.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No one seems to care.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
And as special for the opening, we're gonna go out
there and we're we're gonna put legos all over the
floor and have barefoot parents walk over and see how
they can survive.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Country Sampler will soon reopen as Thus Sampler at its
new location one hundred and forty fifth and West Center Road,
that's about two and a half miles west of its
previous location at one hundred and twentieth in Center. It's
a quilt shop and it has not yet announced the
official opening.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
That's what they do.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
La La Poblanita, a local South Omaha Mexican restaurant twenty
three twenty two South twentieth Street, abruptly closed on August
twenty seventh, which I guess was just earlier this week. Hey,
that's unfortunate. The Happy Taco also will officially close its
Dundee location at fiftieth and Underwood on September first, had
(35:42):
been in business for seven years. They have not announced
the reason for the closure, but on social media, the
restaurant hinted about a possible future opening, but that has
not been confirmed. Trent, and you want to say something
really fast about newsletter access.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Well, I just want to make sure that everybody knows
that if for some reason you don't get our newslettereff

they're not beholden to one bank. They can shop the
market find the best lending solution for you and your
unique circumstances. And I don't care whether you're going conventional

take good care of. You get yourself a pre approval
letter from Eagle Mortgage. Like I said earlier, you can
get a hold of them by going to Eagle Mortgage
(04:37):
Company dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So Trenton and Brad.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
We've got some really cool stuff coming to the Planning
Board here pretty soon at the September meeting, which I
assume is next week. And this is all in the
Millwork Commons there. Millwork Commons is part of North Downtown.
It is north of Charles schwab Field. It is ain't
by the master Craft and the Ashton buildings. And here
(05:04):
are the he Low apartments. Hello apartments would be right
north of the Ashton building. And here are some of
the things that we have queued up before the Planning
Board for the Milwark Commons area. First of all, and
we did report this one a couple weeks ago. City
of Omaha plans a six hundred stall parking garage to
the east of the Ashton building, so on the north
(05:26):
side of Nicholas Street. But in addition to that, now
developers have plans to build a forty four million dollar
multifamily building west of the Ashton building. This thing would
have five stories and one hundred and forty six units
along with ten thousand square feet of retail space. Meanwhile,
(05:46):
that's not all. To the south of the Ashton building
is the Dizzy Mule project. It's been going on for
a while. It's a square block and the Dizzey Mule
coming along nicely. It was part historic renovation, part new construction.
One hundred and seventy two residential units going there. But
the northeast corner of that block was an historic building
(06:08):
called the Radford that hadn't been touched. It wasn't part
of the Dizzey Mule project, and now plans call for
that to become a one hundred and thirty five room
boutique hotel, fifty seven million dollar project, keeping the building,
keeping the building. And Brad, I want to I want
to throw this over to you because you know you've
looked into this quite a bit, all these things going
(06:30):
on to the Millwork Commons district. But this is this
is huge because we already have a lot of momentum there.
Here's three more projects.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Yeah, and don't forget last planning board or two planning
boards ago. There was also a building on the east
side of Eleventh Street that was going to be a
multi story residential with ground floor retail that's not even
part of all these projects you just talked about. Now,
the one thought I had about this whole Millberg commentary is,
right now the streetcar is going to dead end essentially
in front of chi Heuse Center in the ballpark. There's
(07:02):
this would be a perfect opportunity to extend that north
and just make a loop around the Millwork Commons and
come back south. To me, it'd be just like down
in Kansas City, it's the North River Market, I believe, yep,
the north end of their street car line just makes
a big two block loop and turns around and heads
back south. This would be a very similar area. They
(07:24):
could do that, and it really just be a great
end to the street car line up there.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, I think the street car is just such a
game changer. And you know, it started as a dream,
and it still has a lot to go obviously, but
you know, everything's committed. And I just listed to property
at twenty nine oh nine Harney Street, a small building
under four thousand feet right at the entrance the four
to eighty southbound. It's got a drive door, eb painting,
(07:52):
and it's for sale. It's hard to find small buildings,
whether it's a human cave or a or a studio
or sales and service.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Those are hard to find. So if everybody's looking for
a small building called Trenton. You know.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
One more thing about the Milvert Commons area is even
with all these new projects, there's still a ton of
available land up there. I mean, there's a ton of
potential yet even though we're seeing all this activity.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That's a good point because and it's builder flat, like, yeah,
that's perfect Trenton because you can yeah, you can get
going there pretty easily. But there's about twenty acres of
Union Pacific land there that Union Pacific pretty much doesn't use.
There's some industrial buildings that are underutilized. And then there's
even more Union Pacific land to the west. Yeah, that
could become a very dense area. And there's an organization,
(08:39):
a philanthropic organization, a bunch of stakeholders, Future Forward that
they've sold a couple pieces to active developers and stuff.
But it's in good hands so they want to kind
of control the look and the progress of that whole area.
So you're gonna see more and more around that area.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
A couple other news items here. The small construction has
started on the Old Market gardens. This is going to
be a pocket park planned for the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and Levenworth, which is kind of the southwest corner
of the Old Market. Small, it's only one point two
acres and it is if you can close your eyes
and picture that area. You have the Beamis Center for
(09:21):
contemporary Art on that square block, as well as a
very small historic building that probably only has a footprint
of about five or six hundred square feet. The rest
of it has all been just kind of nothing. There
was a community garden there that I remember was flooded
a couple of years ago, and some parking. The rest
(09:41):
of all they're going to save that little historic building,
obviously the Beama Center. The rest of it will be
this park that will have gardens, public art, a cafe,
play area for kids. It's going to be really really
nice and presumably will spark some more development in that
part of.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
The Old Market.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
That part of the Old Market really, if we could
get that to grow and be a vibrant area that
really connect downtown to Thirteenth Street. Right now, there's just
kind of a void in that, you know, Union Pacific
Railroad area. If we could get more activity in the
area to tie in the thirteenth Street. It's going to
be a great area, Trenton.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You and I have talked a lot the last couple
of few weeks about all of this growth at the
Med Center. You know, we've been talking a lot about
this three hundred and eighty foot tall hospital and all
that sort of thing. Well, now the steel has gone
vertical on the southwest corner of Farnham and Saddle Creek,
and that is where the sixth story UNMC Campus Operations
(10:38):
and Research Excellence Building is now going up really fast.
There's also a seven level parking garage going up in
that area. The Catalyst building is still under development. West
part of the Med Center is Enfuego.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, it's amazing to see and you can see it
all on at groma dot com. The projects. But the
whole district that the development district over there in the
Saddle Creek area, they've really made a concentration on how
do we master plan this whole area, how do the
different developers work together with the city to just keep
it thriving.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
And don't forget that Omaha's favorite bird count has gone
up by one for that project too.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's right. Tower cranes.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Ah, Yeah, we love ourselves some tower cranes here on GROLLMHA.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, concludes your News of the week,

so if you go to list on the drop down menu,
happy Hours is one of them. In fact, our partner
Cam Vassak, who created all of that, that was the
very first one she did.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So, yes, there are happy hours, very good, You're good, okay.
And then the second part is at one hundred and
forty fourth and Dodge at the Heartwood Preserve. Years ago
I read about a community, a development they were going
to do that was individual houses, a neighborhood of sorts
that might be geared towards the senior population. Do you
(13:51):
know what I'm talking about? And are those plans still
in play?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I know that they have Progressive Living over their National Developer,
the one that burned, and some other buildings, but that's
multifamily obviously, And I know there's a bunch of single
family houses and you know, lots that they get a
pretty penny for. But as far as like age restricting them,
I'm not sure, Brad, you.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Know I have I don't haven't heard anything in a
long time. Jeff looks like he found the answer for you, though.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, we have something a new residential phases in the
works at Heartwood Preserved, just to the north of the
Ovation Senior Living facility. Now it's not going to be
single family houses. It was originally slated to be an
office building, but it looks like they're trying to change
it to three six story buildings with thirty six condo
(14:37):
units in each. There was and I know there was
talk about what you are talking about as well. I
know this, Mary, that's a multi phase project that's going
to take many, many years. So I would I would
think a lot of things are possible there. We just
kind of wait and see.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
They describe houses that would have front porches and sidewalk,
you know, like your community, and it appealed to me
at the time. They also said it would probably take
fifteen years to come through fruition.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, I know, I'm sack. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I remember exactly what you're talking about. That was
in the original plan. And my guess is there's probably
a good chance that's still a plan, but we don't.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Know for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And Mary, in addition to the happy hours, they also
have daily specials for restaurants cam Vasik put on there.
The thing I think is the coolest is event spaces.
So if you have a family reunion, you have a wedding,
you have whatever, you have birthday party, you can type
in by many fields and search at the same time
(15:41):
as far as the number of people, what part of Omaha,
whether they cater all those kinds of things. And we
get all that asked all the time. You know, where
should I have my event? So check that out too.
All right, thanks Mary, We're going to go.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's very helpful. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Thanks Mary.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We're going to go to our next caller, and we
have Joe with a question about Ashland. Good morning, Joe,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I was wondering.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Any future residential plants going on in Ashland.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay, we're looking at each other right now.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Wasn't there one on the north side of Ashland proposed
a couple of years ago, But I don't know that
I've heard anything about that recently.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
My guess is that we are probably a couple years
away from seeing a lot of residential development in Ashland.
You know, we've seen quite a bit of development around
those lakes that are on the what east northeast side
of Ashland. My guess is that will continue some momentum
into other parts of the area. And we've also had
(16:45):
some cool commercial development that just opened recently, steakhouse fast
food restaurant in that area. I think it's just a
matter of time before Ashland probably experiences somewhat of a
housing boom and becomes the next Gretna. But that's what
we know so far. And Joe, we appreciate your calling,
and we're next going to go to Rick. Rick has
(17:07):
a question about one hundred and sixty eighth to night.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Good morning, Rick, Well, good morning to the Three Musketeers.
And yeah, my question is one hundred and sixty eighth
and on the Northwest corner, they're starting to do dirt
work again. But two years ago on your show, you
said that there was a plan to have a Fairway
grocery store going there, but I hadn't heard anything since then.
(17:31):
Is that still going in or with anything new that's
planned in there.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know there's commercial going on some from our office
is marketing some of that, but I'm not sure whether
specifically it's a Fairway or a supermarket.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You know, Fairway seemed like they were very interested in
a lot of sites in northwest Omaha a couple of
years ago, and as far as I've heard, a lot
of that has died down, especially after that one out
there on what was one hundred and thirty second Ford Open.
I haven't heard any activity because they were looking at
a couple different lots. The one hundred and sixtieth and
Ida that you're seeing now is a daycare.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh, that's a daycare right now. Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
So the old saying in real estate development is that
retail follows rooftops. And if you look at the overall
metro area, there are about three places where you're seeing
a heavy presence of new rooftops under construction, and clearly
that one hundred and sixty eighth and Ida area is
one of them. That arc from Elkhorn to Bennington is
(18:33):
just exploding with new houses. Therefore, we would expect within
the next three to five years to see a heck
of a lot of retail development. I would say that
retail follows rooftops, churches and gas stations churches, and that
is true because they do all seem to kind of
go together that way.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
And all the infrastructure is now in for that northwest
corner of one hundred SIXTIETHH in Itis, so if someone
wanted to build, they could get going quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, So we appreciate you making that call, Rick, And
looks like we have someone calling in just right now.
That's great. We would love to have a lot of
you call in. The number is four O two five
five eight eleven ten. Four oh two five five eight
eleven ten. We're going to break for the news, but
when we come back, we're going to take more calls.
(19:21):
Looks like the caller that just called in as Betty.
Hang tight, Betty, you're first, but after Betty, there is
room for you. Four oh two five five eight eleven ten.

the metro area and ladies and gentlemen, there are.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
A lot of them.

the Valmont headquarters. We could go on and on. Not
All Companies does an outstanding job of building our built environment.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well.

show and we have five people queued up, so we're
(21:33):
going to get to those five, and the first one
patiently waiting is Betty. Good morning, Betty, and welcome to
the show.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Good morning, Thank you for taking my cap. I was
wondering at one hundred and three seventh in Maple next
to the Burger King something stand built.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah, it's a Chase Bank, right yeah, Chase Bank, one
of the two big banks expanding in Omaha right now.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, Chase Bank and Bank of America. You know, basically
the largest banks in the country are just going all
over the Omaha area.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And that is another Chase Banks. So Mary, apparently.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
FMBO makes it look easy. Betty, we appreciate you calling
and thanks for your patience. And now we go to Tyler.
Good morning, Tyler. You're next on grow Omaha. Tyler, you
have a question about Springfield going once going twice. No, Tyler,
(22:27):
all right, hopefully things work out a little bit better
for Carl, who has a question about the Amazon building
in Council of Bluffs.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Good morning, Carl, Hey, good morning. Yes, I'm curious to
know what's going on with that Amazon building over in
Council Bluff. It got built, it was busy for a while,
then it's gone dormant. I see there's been a little
bit of activity happening. So what's happening there. Thank you
for taking my call.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
You know, didn't they overbuild at one time? Like I
don't know that the one on North seventy second ever
really got going.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And they build these things, Carl, and then they put
them in mothballs for a while, and we've never heard like,
you know, we do a lot of industrial space, and
we never hear about like, hey, we want to fill
this building for a couple of years and because we're
short on warehouse space. But my guess is that, you know,
there's factors outside of Omaha that also decide when these
come online. Even the big one, you know, a couple
(23:19):
of million square feet and papillion, it took like a
year to open, So it'll be interesting to see. But
thanks for bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Well, we have to keep in mind too, guys, that
that project was spawned during the pandemic time where the
e commerce stuff was just blowing up like crazy. You know,
that was right when they built that one and counts Bluffs,
which is between two and three hundred thousand square feet.
They built one that wasn't quite as big that Brad
referred to earlier, seventy second, just south of six eighty.
(23:48):
And yes, Brad, the last time I drove by that
a couple of weeks ago, it was still very.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Very obviously empty.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So my thought is Amazon's already one of the biggest
corporations in the world. They know they're going to continue
to grow, and so they have the capacity now. All right,
thank you so much Carl for that call. We're now
going to go to Matt, which who has a call
about one hundred and twentyeth then l good morning Matt.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Yeah, I was wondering there's supposed to be a Burger
Detour going in there. This team's dormant now, yeah, anything.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
So that would be the third site that we know
of for Burger Detour. The you know, a brand new concept,
and they decided to build three pretty much all it once,
but they built two and this one seems to be
lagging behind. You know, they built that retaining wall, and
the owner of Burger Detour spent a fortune on this site.
And there's talk about a coffee shop and maybe like
a some kind of a car wash or something, but
(24:39):
we haven't heard anything about that.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Brad. Do you see anything coming through? Na, No, we
didn't work on that but that I know of. But
I will say that the one on one hundred or
two hundred fourth in Pacific just finally open. They had
a couple of delays and it finally got opened. So
maybe now that that's open, they'll shift their attention.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
And I think I think, you know, it's unique, but
it's also always fe should I think they try to
be like in an out burger, because it'll be a
whild before we get in an out burger here.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And I've been there, I think twice, and I thought
it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I still haven't tried it. I got to get over
and try one of those one of these days. All right, Matt,
we appreciate the call, and we now go to Clyde.
Good morning, Clyde, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Yeah, Good morning guys, and God bless this show.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Thanks really wonderful.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Thank you all right out here and think of Gretna
Highway six Cornhusker Road, get see in the area. Then
you had Eastern Cornhusker Road. Uh, you know it's just
railroad bridge that's still out and is there ever any
hope you think of Cornhusker opening up? So there's you know,
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
What you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
That is one of the coolest old rickety bridges like
wood or something. I think it's like built like a
nuclear fallout shelter if I remember creak, big thick concrete, Okay,
and you couldn't fit two cars through it at the
same time. My guess, and this is just a Jeff
guessing here, is that you have to coordinate with the
(26:06):
county or the city of Gretna. You have to coordinate
with what is that Burlington Northern Santa Fe being SF
that goes to there. My guess is it's going to
be very, very.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Expensive and someone or some people are procrastinating on that
one because that's going to be a big, big deal,
uh redoing that.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But but it's needed.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It's it's gonna like remember those commercials with a god
awful bridge by Mingleson's.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, for people that are old enough, people used to
say Mangleson's one of a kind kind of everything store
just north of that awful tunnel.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And that was that was like a very skinny tunnel
that became a huge expanse of a Union Pacific big bridge.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But it wasn't as skinny as this one. This one
is way skinnier than that one.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Was it out.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I think they just the road because they don't want
people going through there because it's just too narrow.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But but people taking their redding pictures there.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
My guess was that that road started seeing too much
traffic for the size of that bridge, and as a
safety reason, they just close the road. And they don't
have anything in place yet to reopen it, don't have.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The budget for it, but at some point Clyde, they're
going to have to do it because that areas is
going to grow and grow and grow.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Appreciate the question and appreciate the kind words about the show,
and we next go to Tie one hundred and forty
fourth in Platview. Good morning, Tie, and welcome.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Good morning, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Yeah, the question is one hundred and forty fourth in
plat View in Springfield. I know that they're putting in
a Believe tractor supply, but I was wondering what else
they have developmently planned for that area. Maybe a grocery store.
That was our hopes.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
It's been a lot of industrial so far, some of
the developments that I've worked on out that way. They're
kind of waiting to see where the actual final alignment
of plat View Road ends up. There was three SOFTA
County was looking at three different options for plat View Road,
and I think they developers really want to see where
that road's going to be before they invest too much more.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
And that expressway, hopefully we'll live to see it, but
you know, all the way from my twenty nine basically
to the outlet mall will be probably four lanes, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Okay, so Ty, we appreciate your call and thanks for calling,
and we now go to our final call of the morning,
and the honor of that goes to our friend Joe
with a question about one hundred ninety second and for
good morning.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Joe, Good morning, thanks for taking my call. Just want
if you know of any plans yet for development on
the south side of Fort Street between like one eighty
third and one ninety second between Fort and that established
neighborhood there, and also specifically anything on the southeast corner
of one ninety second and Fort.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
So we've worked on a lot of those residential subdivisions
up there, and the only thing I've seen is more residential.
I haven't seen any kind of commercial activity or anything.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
There's finally got Fort Street all open in that area,
and so that's really going to help get more people
out there, but so far just all residential.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Once you see the gas stations and the churches, retails
next Joe.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, and that's kind of what we were talking about earlier, guys,
that the single family housing growth in that area is
very impressive and it's just a matter of time. You know,
if you drive around those Northwest corridors in that Elkhorn
Bennington area up there, you'll notice lots of housing going on,
but lots of somewhat smallish to medium size pieces on
(29:30):
the corners that are reserved.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's going to be your future commercial well, and the
fact that the infrastructure is getting done. Just like on
West Maple we developed one hundred and sixty eight one
hundred and seventy seventh on the north side where walmart
Is and Harley Dudson all that stuff. We knew that
the infrastructure was pretty much in. There's some turning lanes
that need to be done and stuff like that, but
that's what they need. They need the infrastructure, the sewers,
the utilities, everything else. And now you're going to start
(29:52):
getting retail, but it'll take a couple of years and.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
They need the people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And with that, we appreciate the call, Joe, and we're
going to take our final break of the hour, and
you know what that means. When we come back, it's
the Perkins Chritzer Construction Lightning Round. I'm looking at the
list and there are a lot of things on it,
so stay with us. You don't want to miss any
of it. You're listening to Jeff Biel's, Trenton Maggott and
Brad Williams on grow Omaha, brought to you by Dingman's

annual Rockbrook Village Art Fair. It's been around for like
fifty five years now. One hundred and eighth in Pacific

and Sunday ten to five on Sunday ten to six
on Saturday. It's the biggest art fair in the area
and one of the longest running art fairs. I can
totally picture it. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We got a couple few restaurant things to bring up today.
Good looking. The Breakfast and Lunch Cafe at forty nine
nineteen Underwood here in Dundee plans to open a second location,
the former Austin Steaks and Saloon Space one hundred and
sixty eighth and West Dodge Road. Opening daties yet to
be announced. Cone Amor, a Latin inspired restaurant, will soon
(32:11):
open in Valley, Nebraska at two fifteen North Spruce Street.
It's in the former Simply Delicious space. Tentative opening date
is about three weeks from now. The restaurant focuses on
authentic Latin, Central and South American dishes infused with the
owner's unique flavors. Currently is available for takeout, though, but
(32:32):
it looks like the seating is just not quite there yet,
will be soon. They're looking for a head chef Olast Soul,
a new Korean Mexican fusion food concept, will open inside
Camp Blackstone the Food Hall at thirty six eighteen Farnham
Street on September sixth. It'll celebrate its grand opening with
(32:53):
some really cool stuff coming up, So put September sixth on.
If you like both Korean, if you like both Korean
and me Excan food, why not put them together? Who
doesn't and I love them both. Tea Time has opened
at one hundred and forty fifth and West Maple Road
in the Shops of Greyhawk. The business focuses on beverages
(33:15):
with authentic Chinese flavor, from classic milk teas to fruit blends,
and Starbucks Coffee is building a free standing store with
a drive through in the stony Brook area near one
hundred and forty fourth and stony Brook Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Finally we're getting another Starbucks, thank god. Eight of them
are going up now. LASiS gentlemen, in addition to the
other ones. The only thing I can think of it's
a liquid business, That's the joke.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I like to use a lot construction site for this one.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
In Stonybrook, though, is right in front of HIGHV Grocery
store and south of the Chipotle that is right there.
Brad Runza is planning to rebuild its former restaurant at
nine to six five South seventy second Street, many many
years ago. It was Aroncos. You took a photograph of it.
We had it as a Project of the Day a
few days ago. But the Runza is going to become
(34:07):
a Rnza.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Still can't figure out yet. I haven't seen a building permit.
If it's getting torn down or just remodeled.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, the science has rebuild, rebuild.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yeah, that's vague, so you would.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Think tear down, but we don't know for sure. I
want to give a shout out to my friend Dan
Rudolph for that. For many years, he has been the
head of real estate for Runs. I did a few
deals with him and Dan Rudolph does a great job.
And congratulations to Runs on their growth.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay, the targeted opening date for Legos first Nebraska store
is September twentieth, So a lot of Lego fans out
there that's coming up a lot, a lot sooner. It'll
be here before you know it. It's gonna be a
twenty one hundred square foot space just a little bit
to the east of Vineyard vines at Nebraska Crossing.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
There's no hepe for that opening.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
No one seems to care.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
And as special for the opening, we're gonna go out
there and we're we're gonna put legos all over the
floor and have barefoot parents walk over and see how
they can survive.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Country Sampler will soon reopen as Thus Sampler at its
new location one hundred and forty fifth and West Center Road,
that's about two and a half miles west of its
previous location at one hundred and twentieth in Center. It's
a quilt shop and it has not yet announced the
official opening.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
That's what they do.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
La La Poblanita, a local South Omaha Mexican restaurant twenty
three twenty two South twentieth Street, abruptly closed on August
twenty seventh, which I guess was just earlier this week. Hey,
that's unfortunate. The Happy Taco also will officially close its
Dundee location at fiftieth and Underwood on September first, had
(35:42):
been in business for seven years. They have not announced
the reason for the closure, but on social media, the
restaurant hinted about a possible future opening, but that has
not been confirmed. Trent, and you want to say something
really fast about newsletter access.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Well, I just want to make sure that everybody knows
that if for some reason you don't get our newslettereff
sends it out every Thursday afternoon. If you don't get
it by late Thursday, check your spam folder, check your
junk mail, whatever it is. Some people think, we hope
that if you put news at Groma dot com in
one of your contacts on your outlook, that might get

it past your filters and things like that. And if
worst comes to worst, or you can still go to
