History

[edit]

In October 2006, Mutual of Omaha announced that it would be building a $250 million mixed-use development known as Midtown Crossing.[2] Demolition began shortly after and ground was officially broken in September 2007.[3][4] In July 2008, it was announced that Marcus Theatres would take over theater operations.[5] The parking garage was completed in the Fall of 2008. The mid-rise buildings were topped-out by February 2009.[6] Midtown Crossing officially opened on May 19, 2010.[7]

In the years following Midtown Crossings opening, many buildings have been demolished to make the area more desirable for development. The North Tower of the then-Twin Towers Condos was demolished in 2013, excluding the parking garage.[8] In 2014, the Clarinda & Page Building had its historic status revoked by the Omaha City Council and was then demolished as well.[9] In 2016, Midtown Crossing added two murals, "Turner Park," and "Eastbound Zeppelins".[10]

In 2022, it was announced that Mutual of Omaha would be building a new headquarters in Downtown Omaha. With moving out of Midtown Omaha, Mutual of Omaha would step away from developing the property.[11] During the construction of Omaha Streetcar in the 2025, many businesses in Midtown Crossing reported declining sales due to construction.[12]
