This project of Urban Chiral is the restoration, renovation and development
of a business-residential condominium in the Swartz Printing Company at
714 South 15th Street in Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1910, this two story brick
edifice is located just a few blocks west of the Old Market in a quiet mixed
residential-commercial area. The building is designated as an Omaha
Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The restoration of the Swartz Printing Company will create a new life for
this distinguished structure – restoring it to a dynamic position within the
urban environment.
Renovation plans include meticulous historical restoration of exterior and
interior surfaces including the entire storefront, exterior brick & concrete
surfaces, interior brick walls, interior plaster walls/ceilings, doors, trims,
and over 70 windows. Top grade materials and green building techniques
will be utilized in a completely new installation of the electrical system,
plumbing, and heating/cooling. The developer of Urban Chiral is Laura
Lenarz Shiffermiller, the architect is Bahr Vermeer Haecker, and the
contractor is Boyd Jones Construction.
