Should Omaha prioritize downtown mixed-use redevelopment projects like Crossroads with public funding?
Woodbury Corporation has begun construction of a multilevel parking structure along Cass Street at the Crossroads redevelopment site at 72nd and Dodge streets in Omaha. The project's approximately 38-acre footprint also includes a 530-space underground garage and an 87,000-square-foot CentiMark GameScape entertainment venue.
Why it matters
The Cass Street structure, planned for roughly 850 to 900 spaces, is meant to support a mixed-use district that Woodbury hopes will attract shops, restaurants and services. For contractors, suppliers and retail tenants in Omaha, the phasing of these projects determines when work and leasing opportunities arrive.
The Crossroads site spans approximately 38 acres and will include a 530-space underground garage, with a separate Cass Street structure planned for roughly 850 to 900 spaces. The planned multifamily building would bring roughly 200 apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail, though no comparator figures were provided.

Market Landscape
Crossroads sits within a wave of Omaha redevelopment that includes the approved Union Omaha downtown soccer stadium agreement. The pairing of entertainment venues, structured parking and residential units follows the mixed-use pattern developers are pursuing across the metro.
Contractors and suppliers bidding on Omaha mixed-use work should watch the late-2026 steel start and the planned multifamily groundbreaking for subcontracting openings. Retail operators considering the Crossroads district should track tenant announcements, which depend on the project's progress.
The takeaway
Operators in construction, leasing and retail should map the Crossroads timeline against their own pipeline and bid calendars. Monitor the late-2026 steel start and the multifamily groundbreaking as the signals that tenant leasing conversations are ready to begin.
What happens next
Steel is expected to begin rising at the entertainment venue site in late November or early December 2026, and Eppley Airfield's first new terminal gates open November 4, 2026.
