White Lotus Group and the City of Omaha are excited to announce Civic Square, a 9-acre, stylishly modern downtown development. The square in Civic Square (17th to 19th Street, Capital to Chicago Street) offers urban residents, workers and visitors one-of-a-kind charm and convenience (a grocery store, fitness center, healthcare, commercial office space, a variety of retail stores, great food and drink, along with parking ease and downtown Omaha’s best interstate access).
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. Parking will be available on-street as well as in a 500-stall garage. There will be over 2,300 parking stalls within 1.5 blocks of Civic Square.
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 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.
Now it’s a smooth field of ground, soon however that will change. Civic Square’s infrastructure is scheduled to be completed in 2024, and build-out will continue to follow. White Lotus Group is open to joint venture opportunities with groups that have an interest in participating in the project.
