Omaha is about to get a skyline. Mutual of Omaha’s new downtown headquarters tops out at 677 feet across 44 stories, which makes it the tallest building in Nebraska and, for now, the tallest across the surrounding states too. The insurer expects to move in by late 2026.
Project Scope
The tower delivers roughly 800,000 square feet of trophy office on a downtown block once occupied by the W. Dale Clark Library. Pickard Chilton designed it, with Kendall/Heaton Associates as architect of record and HOK handling interiors; Alvine Engineering leads the MEP design and JE Dunn Construction runs the build. The project ties into a broader downtown redevelopment and streetcar push reshaping Omaha’s core.
Why It Matters
Consolidating Mutual’s workforce into one downtown tower is a bet on the urban core at a moment when much of the national office pipeline has stalled. A build this tall in a market Omaha’s size is rare, and it resets what the city’s skyline looks like for a generation. It also gives downtown a daytime anchor that developers around it are already building to.
