This is a very nice and upscale project, there are 5 zones with one being an entertainment area, and the whole project just looks amazing...

You could see the photos on eomahaforums..

It is a great project. Glad that infill development is occuring in Omaha. With the University near-by and the old established homes that should be a great fit and really revitalize that area... I bet the older homes you will all of a sudden see the maintenance/pride go up on them, some of the older run down buildings/businesses will revitalize (except for Petro's and Gorat's which just keep going and going and going).

A great fit for the area.

I saw it in one of the sub-forums on that site... for those not familiar with eomahaforums, here is the direct link to the AkSarBen village - warning, that discussion is about 12 pages and pictures are throughout... but go to Page 12 for some initial ones.

the renderings looked amazing and i love the integration of residential and commercial. I think it is a great use of the area. I don't know if any of you have been by there recently but it looks too similar to the outdoor malls on 72nd and sorenson and 72nd and 370. I know they are still building but I was expecting a completely different experience. Hopefully once they are done I'll have changed my mind.

Sounds like you're focusing on the retail strip center across from Aksarben Village on the south side of Center... which is an entirely different development (or perhaps the Shoppes at Aksarben Village, at 72nd and Pacific... also an unrelated development).

Wohlners is in trouble. The theater is pulling out. Noddle is in trouble. Expect to see a ghost town for the next 5 years. Blue Cross? Lets see..Tetrad is the developer. They are relatives of Walter Scott. What a great deal..keep it in the family. SBI gets furniture out of this. Kiewitt builds this. And Blue Cross continues to NOT pay planholder expenses.

I don't know why Wohlner's ever moved. If they're having trouble I'm inclined to be spiteful and say good. I used to go to their old location quite often.

wait, there wont be a movie theatre there?




I like askarben village cause it is near the keystone trail


and bus routes 15 and 55 and 13 (sucks that 13 and 55 dont run on sundays





plus I somewhat have gotten tired of walking from mid-town to bellevue's movie theatre.




(I do that every year as a way of losing weight).

I excercise reguarly, but that is like my yearly miles run thing I do.
