HDR selected their new location for their headquarters. They had originally announced a DT building that would be 15 floors and ~250 feet tall. The land deal was a mess and parking became an issue between them and a performing arts center across the street along with historic buildings in the crosshairs. Just a lot of moving parts that didn't work out.
They settled on Aksarben Village. A mixed-use development in the center of the city.

HDR’s future 10-story corporate headquarters, announced Thursday, will anchor the last sizable tract of undeveloped land at central Omaha’s Aksarben Village.
The architectural and engineering firm’s 245,000-square-foot office building will house retailers on its first floor. To the east, a new parking structure will contain ground-level shops and restaurants.
An alleyway between the two structures, at 67th and Frances Streets, is envisioned as a hotbed of retail and entertainment.
The pieces create a proposed HDR campus for up to 1,150 employees that will replace the digs that the century-old firm has outgrown near 84th Street and West Dodge Road.
