Mutual of Omaha Skyscraper Nears Final Height

Construction on Tower Core is Complete; Project Remains on Track for Fall 2026 Opening  

(OMAHA, Neb.) Mutual of Omaha’s new downtown Omaha headquarters is nearing its final height of 677 feet, solidifying the tower’s presence along the city’s skyline. The shear core is now complete to the top of the building, with steel erection around the core advancing through the upper levels of the structure. 

Despite winter weather conditions, construction remains on track to be completed in Fall 2026. Temporary heat and enclosures have been installed throughout the tower to protect completed work and maintain quality during cold-weather operations. These measures have enabled construction crews to continue completing interior activities without interruption. This steady, floor-by-floor progress signals a pivotal transition from primary structural work to enclosure and interior build-out.  

Exterior Construction Progress
The tower’s exterior is rapidly taking shape as the glass curtain wall extends through level 36, defining the architectural character of the building and providing a growing shield from winter weather. Construction has continued on the tower’s wide podium base, which contains the parking garage, where architectural details and signage elements are being integrated into the building’s exterior. 

Interior Buildout
Inside the building, construction teams are advancing several workstreams in parallel. Office floors are beginning to transition from raw structure to finished interior spaces. Access flooring, fireproofing, wall systems and finish materials are being installed throughout the tower. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems continue to be installed, marking key infrastructure milestones and shaping the future workplace environment with each passing week. 

Milestones Ahead in 2026 

The following construction milestones are anticipated in 2026:
