Abstract
The Project Intent
At the height of its time, Aksarben was the best place in omaha to go for entertainment and social gatherings. The large space allowed for many events such as concerts, world championships, road shows, and the most popular, horse races. Unfortunately in the 1990s, there was a decline in such attractions, particulary in horse racing, and Aksarben’s ownership went to Aksarben future trust.
Today, developers are using this historical essence to reclaim the once thriving area and bring it back to what it used to be with new current trends.
I propose to take the currently vacant building on the northwest side, building 2111, which has just currently been constructed and place into it a boutique hotel that includes a salon and spa, restaurants and bars, and a retail spaces that will bring the community in as well as the student population from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
