History

In November 2019, Omaha Performing Arts announced a $109 million live music venue to be built in Downtown Omaha. Many bands and artists previously avoided the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area due to its lack of an appropriate performance area. [1] Construction began in 2020, with groundbreaking beginning a year later. At the groundbreaking ceremony, the venue was officially named Steelhouse Omaha. [2] [3] Steelhouse Omaha officially opened on 12 May 2023. The first concert was The Killers. [4] [5]

Design

Steelhouse Omaha is a charcoal-colored building with a sawtooth rhythm design on the exterior. This is meant to represent the manufacturing of steel. [6] The building was designed by Ennead Architects and was built by Kiewit Corporation. Ennead also designed the nearby Holland Performing Arts Center, which also owned by Omaha Performing Arts. [7] Steelhouse Omaha has a capacity of 2,700 people on the floor and an additional 300 people on the balcony. [8]
