Project Website
Situated in the heart of Omaha, adjacent to a thriving intersection and the City of Omaha’s Keystone Trail winding along the Papio Creek, Aksarben Village will be a welcome addition to this locale. The Aksarben (Nebraska spelled backwards) racetrack and arena was home to thoroughbred horse racing for 75 years. When Aksarben ceased horse racing in 1995, the property was ripe for redevelopment. The first phase, the Aksarben Business and Education Campus, is well underway. Aksarben Village is an ideal adjunct to the first phase, which accommodates growth for the University of Nebraska at Omaha and corporate campuses.
Aksarben Village is a mixed-use redevelopment, incorporating the principles of new urbanism. Residential, office, retail, entertainment, and recreation all converge to make this project a positive addition to the Omaha metropolitan community.
Lamp, Rynearson & Associates, Inc. and Urban Design Associates have teamed up to develop a Master Plan for the 70-acre site and surrounding redevelopment areas. The team included members in the areas of landscape architecture and urban planning, traffic management, parking facilities, demolition, and geotechnical, mechanical/electrical and environmental engineering.
Lamp Rynearson responsibilities included plan preparation, platting, demolition and site grading, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, public streets and parking lots, and utility coordination. Lamp Rynearson's services included hydrologic/hydraulic analysis of the Little Papillion Creek, and design for the major trunk sewers through the Aksarben Village site, which may serve as a potential sewer separation in the Saddlecreek basin. |
