Midtown Crossing at Turner Park is a seven building, 16-acre mixed-use development in midtown Omaha, encompassing 297 luxury condominiums, 196 apartment units, and more than 225,000-square-feet of fine and casual dining, entertainment and shopping. A majority of Midtown Crossing’s restaurant and retailer partners are Omaha-born businesses, including Brix – A Wine and Spirits Experience, Wohlner’s Neighborhood Grocery & Deli, The Afternoon, and nationally-renowned The Grey Plume, America’s greenest restaurant according to the Green Restaurant Association.
Built around an expanded and revitalized Turner Park, the neighborhood sits between Farnam and Dodge Streets and 31st and 33rd Streets. It is directly to the east of Mutual of Omaha’s headquarters and minutes from downtown Omaha, CenturyLink Center Omaha, Eppley Airfield, Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo, the Old Market and a number of other local attractions.
A LEED Certified Green Community, Midtown Crossing is owned by East Campus Realty, a subsidiary of Mutual of Omaha. It was the first major project tied to Destination Midtown, a public/private partnership focused on returning historic midtown Omaha to prominence.
Free community events, held in 7-acre Turner Park, are a hallmark of the development and include concerts (such as Jazz on the Green and Playing with Fire), festivals and health and wellness gatherings.
