Many times, as a Nebraska video production company, we get to work with organization that is bringing change, real change. And not only to just Omaha, but opening the possibilities to Nebraska as well. The great people at Brinshore, a development company in Chicago, hired us to create a short documentary of this very special project in North Omaha.
This collaboration of organizations has created a newly developed area of North Omaha that is truly impressive. Giving a new life to the landscape and its people, the Highlander District is now a safe, beautiful and vibrant section of town.
Brinshore talks about the end result on their website by saying, “At completion, the development will contain nearly 450 units of new mixed-income, energy-efficient housing in a variety of design styles and product types from studios to 7-bedroom units. The development also includes new infrastructure, playgrounds, retail storefronts, and community space. All of the units, regardless of whether they are deeply affordable, or market rate are randomly interspersed and indistinguishable from each other so that quality does not relate to the rent that someone can afford to pay.’
The mayor of Omaha joined in the fun as well, ““This public-private partnership is significantly changing the quality of life for hundreds of families who wish to live and raise families in these neighborhoods,” said Mayor Jean Stothert. “We are fulfilling our commitment to affordable housing, and access to education, jobs and health services. It’s an example of how we change and adapt to community needs.”
We were fortunate as Nebraska video production company to interview the partnerships, the residents, and a truly special treat of being able to speak to the elderly that lived in the retirement community.
Along with my co-horts Marc Longbrake and Patrick McNally, we were honored to be a small part in spreading the word of this amazing feat of collaboration.
Filming in front of windows. Done! And it look amazing. Thank you ND filters!
