There is a lot going on in downtown Lincoln and we are excited to be a part of it. There are currently ~$1.8B in transformative changes being proposed in downtown Lincoln:
“As the nation struggles to emerge from the worst recession in decades, Lincoln has $1.8 billion in projects on the drawing board in the downtown area alone – about 80 percent of it planned by the city and university.
The development boom is bookended by a proposed new city arena west of downtown and a new $56 million corporate headquarters for insurance company Assurity under construction to the east and topped off to the north by an $800 million renovation of the state fairgrounds into a research and development campus by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
City planner and historian Ed Zimmer said a $1.8 billion transformation would be one for the history books. It smacks of the 1910s and 1920s, he said, when city boosters bandied about the slogan “A New Skyline Every Morning” after more than a half dozen buildings went up downtown between 1912 and 1927, including the Sharp and Stuart buildings.”
