Currently on track to meet the projected fall 2013 completion timeline, the West Haymarket Redevelopment Project is a multi-faceted endeavor intended to enrich and revitalize more than 400 acres of a once-blighted and underutilized business district. Historically, the affected redevelopment area has operated primarily as a railroad freight and passenger service business. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railway operations here include main line, switchyard and various maintenance structures that have been active within the area since the 1880s.


When complete, the West Haymarket Redevelopment initiative will feature the addition of new hotels, a community plaza, more retail and offi ce space, and several upscale residential units. The


main attraction, however, is the new University of Nebraska sports arena, athletic and entertainment facility that will become the new home of the Cornhuskers’ men’s and women’s basketball teams. The $350 million facility is situated within three-point range of Haymarket’s center court, in the same bustling area that spawned the initial growth and expansion of Lincoln’s downtown business district more than a century ago.
