A Lincoln development project and a longtime local commercial real estate agent are among the honorees at Friday's CRE Summit at CenturyLink Center in downtown Omaha.
Hudl's new $35 million corporate headquarters at 600 P St. in the West Haymarket will be honored as the 2018 CRE Summit Development of the Year, Lincoln winner.
The seven-story, 170,000-square-foot building opened in December and is the largest office building to open downtown in several years. The building is home to Hudl and some Nelnet employees, and a third company will be moving in soon. The first floor has retail space that currently is vacant. Nelnet, along with Speedway Properties, WRK LLC and Chief Industries developed the project.
The other Lincoln honoree is George Hancock, who retired last year after a more than 50-year career in the Lincoln commercial real estate market.
