ObD Projects Cited in
Midwest Real Estate News
Two projects managed by Omaha by Design are featured in the September 2007 issue of Midwest Real Estate News.
Urban Design Element Implementation
In an article titled “All According to Plan,” author Patrick Rollens recounts the Omaha City Council’s August 2007 approval of a groundbreaking package of revisions and additions to the city’s zoning and subdivision codes that give legal authority to the Urban Design Element (UDE). The UDE’s 73 recommendations are designed to improve the quality of development in Omaha while protecting and enhancing the city’s natural environment.
Omaha developers Jay Noddle and John Lund were interviewed for the article, as was Coldwell Banker Commercial World Group’s Jeff Beals and Connie Spellman, director of Omaha by Design.
Benson-Ames Alliance
The Maple Street Corridor Project, the first priority area of the Benson-Ames Alliance (www.benson-ames.org), was also featured in the magazine’s September issue. The project – managed by Omaha by Design in conjunction with the Benson-Ames Alliance Steering Council, the Benson Business Association, the Benson Neighborhood Association and the City of Omaha Departments of Planning and Public Works – calls for streetscape improvements to the historic corridor, as well as a housing and retail market analysis of the Benson area.
