[email protected] Fremont, NE April 4, 2011 – Brad and Bruce Nelsen, natives of Omaha, are pleased to announce the development of a mixed-use community in Fremont, Nebraska. The project, Fremont Commons, will apply the most modern and comprehensive methods of responsible land planning for the development of retail, residential, hotel and office uses. Fremont Commons is strategically positioned at the primary intersection of US 30 and US 275, thirty miles west of downtown Omaha. Fremont Commons is the gateway to the Fremont commercial district, and the Hwy 275 corridor which links the cities of Norfolk, Fremont, Blair, Valley, Waterloo and Elkhorn to the rapidly expanding Northwest Omaha residential market. The development is being planned by Nelsen Partners of Austin, Texas, and Scottsdale, AriZona, considered one of America's leading planners and architects, under the direction of co-developer, Brad Nelsen. Nelsen Partners has designed such iconic mixed-use projects as Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and CityNorth in AriZona and Grand Boulevard in San Destin, Florida. “This development offers a great opportunity to deliver a high quality retail and residential community to what has traditionally been a very underserved market. Our family has significant investments and business operations in Fremont, and we look forward to creating an exciting collection of new retail, restaurant and residential offerings at Fremont Commons,” said Brad Nelsen. “We believe this development will create new jobs and contribute to the economic vitality of Fremont, and will offer a variety of affordable residential options including; single family homes, apartments, and senior living facilities – all designed around a 23-acre lake and park amenity at the center of the community”, stated Bruce Nelsen.
