Hotels Planned for Omaha's Qwest Center
OMAHA, NB, October 30, 2005. Some Union Pacific land north of downtown and near the Qwest Center will be developed into two hotels, according to a Wisconsin developer, the Journal Star reports.
The North Central Group of Middleton, WI, would build a Homewood Suites with 110 rooms and a Hampton Inn and Suites with about 150 rooms.
The developer owns the Hilton Garden Inn a few blocks south.
Union Pacific is asking $8 million for the 3.3-acre parcel. The railroad had sold most of its former rail yard to the city for the Qwest Center and street changes.
The two new hotels would be walking distance from the convention center.
A North Central vice president says that if the land sale is completed by the end of the year, construction would begin by summer.
