General contractor Turner Construction Co. is building Nebraska Furniture Mart’s location within the center. “They built our Kansas City store,” Owner Jeff Lind says, noting that many of the same employees are at work on the new location.

When finished, the store will feature 560,000 square feet of retail and a 1.3-million-square-foot distribution center. “It should be the largest volume home furnishing store in the United States,” he predicts.
