OMAHA — Darland Construction has started the renovation of a six-story building in Omaha. Once complete in August 2013, the newly named Victory Apartments & Offices will provide affordable housing to U.S. veterans, as well as office and classroom space. American First Real Estate Group acquired the building from Grace University earlier this year, as part of a community project to serve the needs of veterans. The first floor will house classrooms and offices for the university and a 7,000-square-foot fitness facility and community room for residents. Clinical offices for the Nebraska-Western Iowa VA Medical Center will be located on the second floor, while the upper floors will become apartments.
