The tallest buildings in Omaha, Nebraska include towers for Woodmen of the World and the First National Bank of Omaha. Omaha's tallest building is the 634 feet (193 m), 45-story First National Bank Tower. Completed in 1969, the 478 feet (146 m), 30-story tall Woodmen Tower was the tallest[1] until the construction of the First National Bank Tower. While most of the city's tallest buildings are located in Downtown Omaha, several are located in Midtown Omaha. These include the 22-story, 321 feet (98 m) Elmwood Tower, currently the eighth-tallest building in the city, and the 285 feet (87 m), 14-story Mutual of Omaha Building. The University of Nebraska Medical Center is located in midtown and among its rapidly expanding campus is the 230 feet (70 m) Lied Transplant Center. Additionally, TD Ameritrade has its 230 feet (70 m), 12-story headquarters in Old Mill.
As of April 2022, Mutual of Omaha announced they would build their new headquarters in downtown Omaha on the site of the W. Dale Clark Library. The tower will be 44 stories and 677 feet, making it the new tallest building in Omaha.[2] The Omaha City Council approved the new tower in May 2022 and construction began on January 25, 2023. The tower is currently set to be completed in 2026. [3]
