Heartwood Preserve’s Award-Winning Greenways and Park to Open June 1
The promise of Heartwood Preserve (www.heartwoodomaha.com) in Omaha, one of the largest urban developments in the United States, has taken a giant step toward fulfillment. Applied Underwriters, owner of the over 500-acre tract in West Omaha, announced in March that the development’s Greenway along Pacific Street will soon be completed, Heartwood Park will soon complete Phase 1 construction, and both will open to the public June 1 in time for summer. Future Phases 2 and 3 at Heartwood Park will include the completion of additional infrastructure such as the reconstruction and restoration of the old Boys Town barn, an ice rink, a bandshell, and many other landscaping features.
The award-winning multi-use development, Heartwood Preserve includes the Greenway system preserve that will secure permanently 80 acres of open space, eight miles of trails, thousands of trees, and 13 iconic water basins that will feature important works of land art while also mitigating flood-risk, according to Mr. Bart Emanuel, National Director of Development and Construction at Applied Underwriters.
