I love repurposed old warehouses so I was excited to check out Dizzy Mule during Open Omaha last Saturday. Built in 1886 it was home to M.A. Disbrow and Company, a milling operation that was sold to the Radford Company in 1982.

Located in Millwork Commons at 1218 Izard Street in North Downtown, two new buildings were built and attached on both sides of the original building. Combined they include 172 units ranging from a studio to three bedrooms in addition to retail, restaurant and commercial space. Amenities include a lounge, courtyard and fitness center. One of its key features will be an alleyway that will provide space to dine and socialize similar to Inner Rail Food Hall at Aksarben Village.

If you’re familiar with Open Omaha it is Omaha by Design’s annual open house featuring local businesses, landmarks, creative spaces and hidden gems. It is free and open to the community.
