History edit
The original Nebraska Crossing Outlets building was a 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m2) Strip mall built in 1991 and opened in 1992.[1] The building was demolished in March 2013 to make way for a redeveloped mall.[2]
The 350,000-square-foot (33,000 m2) Nebraska Crossing opened on November 15, 2013. The design by Avant Architects features a much more intimate, walking-oriented experience than the old strip mall, featuring a courtyard. The mall cost $112 million to build.[3]
In August 2014 it was announced two additions would be built at NEX, adding a total of 26,000 square feet to the mall.[4]
NEX also boasts the largest Under Armour store in the United States.[5]
In its first year of operation, the new NEX saw an estimated 4 million visitors and $140 million in sales. In the seventh year of operation, Nebraska Crossing has surpassed $1 Billion in sales with five expansions completed, including the largest H&M in the state of Nebraska, Ulta Beauty, and a 38,000 sq. ft TJ Maxx & HomeGoods combo store.[6]
In Fall of 2022, popular retailer REI Co-op opened its first Nebraska store, a 22,000 square foot store at Nebraska Crossing featuring a full-service bike shop, gear rentals and more.[7]
Covid 19 Reopening edit
In the spring of 2020 Nebraska Crossing reopened despite concerns from local health officials. The mall was the first to reopen in the area during the height of the pandemic. [8]
