Heartwood Preserve Announces Development Advances and Contest for Bridge Design

Heartwood Preserve in Omaha (heartwoodomaha.com) continues to advance with benchmarks being met and its remarkable features coming to life.

The development’s Heartwood Estates have been presold well before they were scheduled to go on the market. The 48-property sector, south of Pacific Street, includes up to 1 to 1.5 acre lots and will be connected by a pedestrian bridge linking Heartwood’s greenways and the two main residential areas on opposite sides of Pacific Street. Applied Underwriters, owner of the 500-acre tract, engaged leading U.S. architects in a competition for the pedestrian bridge’s design.

“We are delighted at the overall progress and the great interest generated by our inclusion of eight miles of trails and 80 acres of green space in Heartwood Preserve,” said Chairman of Applied Underwriters, Mr. Steve Menzies “To date, it has been gratifying to see the construction of cairns, ponds, and other architectural features that bring the greenways to life providing visitors with a visual and natural experience like few others.”

Construction will start later this year on the residential area at the south-western corner of Pacific St. and Applied Pkwy.

Heartwood Preserve is a 500-acre mixed-use urban development with 80 acres devoted to green space, eight miles of bike paths and open trails, and over 10,000 newly planted trees. It will offer a variety of retail, commercial, residential, and recreational facilities. For more information, visit heartwoodomaha.com.
