Why Hubbell Is Investing in Greater Omaha

In this article:

Expanding our footprint through multifamily, industrial and homebuilding growth

At Hubbell, growth is intentional. It is built on strong market fundamentals, trusted partnerships, and a long-term vision for creating communities where people can live, work, and thrive. Today, that vision is rapidly expanding into Greater Omaha, Nebraska, where Hubbell is making strategic investments across multifamily, industrial, and homebuilding sectors to expand our regional footprint and deliver lasting value.

From new residential communities to dynamic industrial parks, our momentum in Omaha reflects both the strength of the market and Hubbell’s full-service capabilities as a developer, builder, and partner of choice.

A Market Positioned for Long-Term Growth

Greater Omaha continues to stand out as one of the Midwest’s most promising growth markets. Affordability, population growth, and strong employment fundamentals all point to sustained demand across housing and commercial sectors.

According to insights from NAI NP Dodge Market Report, the region consistently ranks among the most affordable places to live while offering competitive wages, making it attractive to both residents and employers.

Key drivers fueling Hubbell’s investment strategy include:

  • Steady employment growth with long-term stability
  • Strong population growth across the metro area (now over 1 million population)
  • High rankings for housing affordability and livability
  • Continued infrastructure investment, including a modern streetcar system and enhanced riverfront development

“We’re incredibly bullish on the Omaha market. The fundamentals are strong, and the relationships we’re building here are just as important as the projects themselves. It’s a community we’re proud to invest in,” said Kyle Gamble, President & CEO Hubbell Realty Company.

These indicators reinforce why Omaha is a smart investment and a market positioned for sustained growth well into the future.

Strategic Growth Across Three Core Sectors

Hubbell’s expansion in Omaha is intentionally diversified, allowing us to meet evolving market needs while strengthening our regional presence.

Multifamily: Meeting Demand for Attainable Living

Projects like Sagebrook Apartments and Townhomes are helping address the growing demand for high-quality, attainable housing in surrounding suburban communities like La Vista. Sagebrook is a 264-unit community with Class A amenities built on a large infill opportunity and it was Hubbell’s first venture into this market.

Omaha’s affordability combined with population growth continues to drive strong multifamily fundamentals. Hubbell’s approach focuses on creating thoughtfully designed communities that enhance quality of life while supporting long-term regional growth.

Other upcoming multifamily projects include:

Industrial: Supporting Regional Business Expansions

Our work at Infinity Industrial Park and partnerships with companies like Rotella’s Italian Bakery and Ford Storage highlight the increasing demand for strategic industrial space in the Omaha region. Longtime Omaha-based companies are looking to expand their footprint in the quickly developing Sarpy Co. industrial park where national tenants like Google, Meta and others already call home.

With strong logistics advantages and a growing workforce, Omaha is attracting businesses seeking efficient distribution and operational hubs. Hubbell’s industrial developments are designed to meet that demand with scalable, high-quality solutions.

Homebuilding: Building Communities for the Future

In 2019, Hubbell Realty Company acquired longtime homebuilder The Home Company, The Land Company (formerly known as Boyer Young Land) and Premier Land Title Company as part of a strategic succession plan by the former owners. Since then, The Home Company has continued to set record breaking sales and closing years throughout 10+ communities in Greater Omaha, Fremont and now Lincoln.

By bringing our experience in residential development to Omaha, we are creating vibrant neighborhoods that reflect the needs of today’s homeowners while supporting long-term community growth.

A Fully Integrated Partner

One of Hubbell’s greatest strengths is our ability to deliver across the full development lifecycle. As both a general contractor and developer, in addition to our homebuilding services, we offer a seamless approach that sets us apart in markets like Omaha.

Our capabilities include:

  • Land acquisition and development strategy
  • Design and construction management
  • General contracting for third-party owners & operators
  • Financial structuring and partnership expertise
  • Long-term asset and property management and operations

This integrated model allows Hubbell to move efficiently from concept to completion while maintaining quality, cost control, and consistency across every project.

Built on Relationships That Drive Success

At the heart of our expansion is a commitment to strong partnerships. From municipal leaders to trade partners, relationships play a critical role in Hubbell’s ability to deliver impactful projects and grow in new markets.

Trade partners have been instrumental in helping Hubbell scale operations and deliver high-quality developments across multiple sectors. Their expertise and collaboration ensure every project meets the standard Hubbell is known for.

“Our growth in Omaha wouldn’t be possible without the trust and collaboration of our trade partners. We’re grateful for the role they play in helping us build something meaningful and lasting in this market.”
Matt Weller, Vice President, Development

Looking Ahead: Expanding Our Omaha Footprint

Hubbell’s investment in Greater Omaha is just the beginning. With strong market fundamentals, a growing economy, and a collaborative business environment, the region offers significant opportunities for continued expansion. By leveraging our full-service capabilities and strengthening local partnerships, Hubbell is well positioned to:

  • Deliver impactful multifamily communities
  • Expand industrial capacity to support business growth

As we continue to grow our presence in Omaha, our focus remains the same: creating value, building relationships, and delivering projects that positively shape the communities we serve.
