Fantastic. Looks like a bit like 1180 Peachtree in Atlanta.

Mutual of Omaha Pursuing Downtown Omaha Headquarters Tower

OMAHA, Neb. (Jan. 26, 2022) – Fortune 300 insurance and financial services company Mutual of Omaha will pursue the development of a new headquarters tower in downtown Omaha, Mutual of Omaha Chairman and CEO James Blackledge announced.

Mutual is working closely with the City of Omaha and developer Lanoha Real Estate Co. on the headquarters plan, which would represent a major addition to the Omaha skyline, Blackledge said. Based on the previously planned relocation of the downtown library, Mutual will focus its planning on the current library site.

“We are inspired by the energy in downtown Omaha and recognize the importance of a vibrant urban core for the city’s future. The development of a downtown headquarters tower provides a rare opportunity to create an inspiring workplace for our associates while contributing to the vitality of downtown Omaha,” Blackledge said.

A key element of the company’s decision to pursue a downtown headquarters is the city’s commitment to a modern streetcar line.

woah, is it really going to be that tall? Looks easily 500 feet, and the podium is massive.

DetroitSky Jan 26, 2022 9:22 PM

Wow! Is this a potential new tallest?

A couple articles I read stated its going to be in the 40-50 floor range and "potentially" surpassing First National Tower, the current tallest in the state.

Definitely looking forward to more info on this one!

WOW!!!

I count ~40 floors with a substantial rooftop screen wall as well.

My guess is 600 - 700' tall.

Omaha's current tallest is 634', so this could very well be a new tallest for the city.

Damn Omaha! Get it!!!!

Yes it would almost certainly be a new tallest.

I was thinking pickard-chilton, but PCP is a good guess as well.

It's been a long time coming. But this is no overly optimistic real estate developer.. when financially conservative Mutual of Omaha decides it's going to do something, you know it's going to get done..

From the link HOK is mentioned as the architect.

That rendering screams Pickard Chilton (which, incidentally, is also mentioned in the linked press release. FWIW, the mention of HOK was not as the architect, but in connection with a "study to assess its space needs and develop a compelling vision of the future workplace."

A couple paragraphs later it says: "In addition to developer Lanoha Real Estate Co., Mutual is working with a design team that includes Kendall/Heaton Associates of Houston, Picard Chilton of New Haven, Conn., and Omaha’s Alvine Engineering. "

A long time coming and a streetcar line to boot. Big day for the ole hometown.

futuresooner Jan 27, 2022 2:39 AM

Stunning, and Omaha comes in swinging from the back!

Yeah, the design is textbook Pickard Chilton.

They're also doing the new Sherwin Williams HQ tower in Cleveland.

And they also designed the newish Northwest Mutual HQ tower in Milwaukee completed in 2017.

They're starting to get a lock on corporate HQ trophy towers in the Midwest.

although PCP is known for this design archetype all over the world, Pickard Chilton does have a very iconic example in Atlanta that is indeed very similar.

Great Looking building Omaha!! I really hope it gets built! Looks to be around 650-700'.... I often wondered when Mutual of Omaha was going build a significant tower in DT Omaha! It also looks like it will sit on land that sits lower in elevation than the current tallest. Might look to be the same height when finished. I'll be down from Minneapolis to see this one Hopefully if it gets built!

TallBob Jan 28, 2022 11:51 AM

BTW....If you include the podium and eliminate the mechanical floor at the top, I count 45 stories!
