by Kristin Harlow April 23, 2020

Over the past few decades, Omaha has grown in both size and reputation as a Midwest gem that offers affordable housing, a solid job market, excellent schools and a central location that makes both business and leisure travel a relative breeze. As our city has grown, our lifestyle has adapted, which has had an interesting impact on commercial real estate. While some developments are flourishing, others have been struggling. Overall, retail growth in Omaha is slow, but occupancy is robust in Class A-located centers. The main corridors in west Omaha (Center, Dodge and Maple streets) have strong occupancy and rents now pushing $40 per square foot NNN for new construction. Restaurants, medical/retail (or “medtail”) and fitness have become the main drivers of recent retail space use. “Treasure hunt” discount concepts such as Ross, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Burlington and Five Below have all opened multiple locations in the past 24 months in a wide range of demographic areas of Omaha.

CEO John Fox will take a 70 percent temporary pay cut to his base salary. The other members of Beaumont’s executive leadership team will also take temporary pay cuts up to 45 percent of their total compensation. Of the 2,475 layoffs, most involve hospital administrative staff and others who are not directly caring for patients. Most of the 450 position eliminations are part of the corporate staff or serving in other administrative roles. Beaumont will also pause or cancel some nonessential projects. For the first three months of 2020, Beaumont reported a net operating income of -$54.1 million, a $91.7 million decrease compared to the same time last year.
