Big Grove Brewery Omaha
The Situation
Big Grove Brewery, a popular Iowa-based brewery and restaurant concept, was exploring expansion into the Omaha market. The company sought a location that could support its brewery, restaurant, outdoor gathering spaces, and long-term growth while creating a destination experience for customers.
OMNE Partners was engaged to help identify a location that aligned with the brand’s vision while positioning the brewery for a successful entry into the Omaha market.
The Strategy
OMNE Partners represented Big Grove Brewery throughout the site selection process, evaluating opportunities that would support the company’s operational needs and long-term growth objectives.
After exploring multiple options, the Catalyst development emerged as an ideal fit. The project’s prominent location, mixed-use environment, and ability to accommodate a large brewery, restaurant, and outdoor patio concept aligned with Big Grove’s goal of creating a destination experience while establishing a strong presence in Omaha.
OMNE worked closely with the tenant and project stakeholders to secure a location that would support both the brewery’s growth strategy and the continued evolution of the Catalyst development.
The Result
OMNE successfully represented Big Grove Brewery in securing approximately 10,384 square feet of interior space along with a 6,000-square-foot patio within the Catalyst development.
The project introduced a well-known regional brewery to the Omaha market while adding a significant dining, entertainment, and community gathering destination to Midtown Omaha. The addition of Big Grove Brewery helped further activate the mixed-use development and enhance the area’s appeal as a destination for residents, employees, students, and visitors.
The impact of the transaction was recognized with the 2025 CoStar Impact Award for Lease of the Year in the Omaha/Council Bluffs market. The award highlighted the significance of the project and its contribution to the continued growth and transformation of the surrounding district.
By combining market knowledge, strategic site selection, and tenant representation expertise, OMNE Partners helped bring a high-profile regional brand to Omaha and secure a transaction that generated lasting value for both the tenant and the development.
