Downtown Omaha may see a new high-rise corporate headquarters and a new midtown streetcar line—with no projected tax increase—under a new development plan announced by Mutual of Omaha and Mayor Jean Stothert.
Mutual of Omaha will reshape the downtown skyline with its planned skyscraper headquarters. An architect’s concept rendering depicts a glassy 40-plus story building rising above the block currently occupied by the downtown library at 14th and Douglas Streets.
The tower would sit along the route of a three-mile city streetcar line that would run from the University of Nebraska Medical Center to Omaha’s riverfront. Rides on the streetcar are planned to be free.
