ABOUT

ICONIC DOWNTOWN OMAHA LIVING AND WORKING

White Lotus Group and the City of Omaha are excited to announce Civic Square. This 9-acre project represents a significant investment in Omaha’s future, set to create a vibrant destination for residents, businesses, students, and visitors.

Civic Square is a dynamic and engaging mixed-use destination designed to meet Omaha’s evolving needs, with a special emphasis on fostering a strong connection with Creighton University. Featuring the innovative “NEST” concept, designed to create a collegiate extension within the urban core. The development brings together diverse retail, modern offices, residential options, a grocery store, and a hotel creating a vibrant hub that serves the university, surrounding neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.


MORE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT (THE DETAILS)

  • Civic Square will come to life on the grounds of the old Omaha Civic Auditorium. “The Civic” (as it was called) was a special place with special memories for Omahans for more than 60 years. People of all ages visited for concerts, Broadway shows, NBA basketball, Creighton University basketball, UNO hockey, Omaha Beef football, circus big tops, graduations and the 1988 vice presidential debate.

  • The new Civic Square neighborhood takes urban living up an important notch. Everything is here to live, work and enjoy your best life. Civic Square’s robust design includes market rate apartments, townhomes, affordable apartments, commercial office space, fitness center, and a mix of retail, restaurants, services, healthcare and civic uses. The sacrifices of living downtown (not being near a grocery store for one) are now a thing of the past.

  • Civic Square is made for those who love the energy and poetry of urban living. The design is architecturally iconic and life practical all at the same time. Built from the ground up and not with aging structures, Civic Square will shine with modern glass and steel to please the eye and function with precision.

  • You won’t have to circle the block again and again at Civic Square. With access to more than 3,000 parking stalls, visitors, residents, and businesses can count on convenient parking every time.

    • 454-stall connected parking structure

    • 700 surface lots

    • 180 on-street stalls

    • 1,700 offsite city-shared stalls within 1.5 blocks

  • Civic Square is a hop, skip and jump away from things of matter and interest. Grocery, retail, fitness, medical and more. In addition, Civic Square is a short walk from Joslyn Museum and adjacent to Creighton University. Omaha’s Eppley Airfield is just a 10-minute drive. The CHI Center, Charles Schwab Field (home of the College World Series), Omaha’s beautifully restored Gene Leahy Mall, the Holland Center, SteelHouse Omaha music venue and more are all walkable, less than 20 minutes. Importantly too, Civic Square is tucked close to I-480 for quick and easy access to and from west Omaha and Council Bluffs.

  • You may have heard of us. Then again, maybe not. It’s okay either way because Civic Square isn’t about us. It’s about you. It’s about Omaha. It’s about all the people who want to be a part of the energy, community and opportunity in Omaha’s downtown. White Lotus Group is committed to bringing that to life in Civic Square and has given Omaha every reason to believe we can do it in great fashion.

    Our project legacy includes:
    - I-80 Logistics Hub
    - Hotel Deco
    - 30 Metro Apartments
    - RTG Medical
    - Nebraska Realty HQ (Lincoln and Omaha)
    - Baxter Auto Headquarters
    - Several state of Nebraska offices

    White Lotus Group is also actively working on mixed use projects in NODO, Maple 180 and Pershing in Lincoln.

  • The NEST℠ communal area presents a significant opportunity for consistent and increased foot traffic, as Civic Square is purposefully designed to replicate the success of established collegiate extensions by forging a direct and dynamic link between Creighton University and Downtown Omaha, becoming a central gathering point that cultivates a strong sense of community and belonging for Creighton students, faculty, alumni, and fans.

    Drawing inspiration from the vibrancy of districts like Aggieville and Haymarket, this university-centric atmosphere will not only serve the daily needs of the Creighton community but also act as a destination, channeling a consistent flow of individuals directly to the Civic Square community from The NEST℠ and the broader activity within district.

  • White Lotus Group is open to joint venture opportunities with groups that have an interest in participating in the project.
