Redwood Living, Inc. • March 28, 2025

Redwood Bellevue South 25th Street has been honored for addressing a critical housing need and contributing to local economic growth in the Omaha, Nebraska market.

Redwood Living, Inc. (Redwood), known for building and managing multifamily build-to-rent apartment neighborhoods across the Midwest and the Carolinas, has received a notable industry award for its first Omaha, Nebraska neighborhood. 

 

Redwood Bellevue South 25th Street has been named the 2025 Multifamily Development of the Year CoStar Impact Award winner in the Omaha market. Impact Award winners across the nation—chosen for their growth, diversification, and ability to overcome unique challenges in their markets—were selected by a panel of industry professionals familiar with each respective market. 


Redwood Bellevue South 25th Street was specifically chosen as an award-winning project in the Omaha market because, despite rising construction costs, supply-chain delays and labor shortages, it enhanced the area, addressed a critical need for housing and contributed to local economic growth. The neighborhood, which welcomed its first residents last spring, features 131 single-story apartment homes ranging in size from 1,294 – 1,620 square feet. Each of the four different floor plans include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car attached garage and all the signature advantages that make living in a Redwood apartment feel more like home. 


“We are honored that Redwood’s first neighborhood in Omaha has already been recognized with such a prestigious award,” said Steve Kimmelman, founder and CEO of Redwood. “As we continue to grow in the Omaha area with two more neighborhoods under construction, this recognition is a testament to the initial impact we’ve had in the market and reinforces our commitment to providing thoughtfully designed homes that meet the needs of today’s renters.” 

The CoStar Impact Awards recognize exemplary commercial real estate transactions and projects completed in 2024 that have significantly influenced neighborhoods or submarkets across 129 major international markets in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The awards honored over 340 winners for their CRE transactions across five categories: Lease of the Year, Sale/Acquisition of the Year, Commercial Development of the Year, Multifamily Development of the Year and Redevelopment of the Year. 


“Each year, the CoStar Impact Awards celebrate commercial real estate professionals that are introducing innovative and transformative projects and transactions in the industry,” said Lisa Ruggles, Senior Vice President, Global Operations at CoStar Group. “We received an incredible number of submissions this year and enlisted a diverse panel of judges across each market to identify the most impactful projects shaping the commercial real estate landscape. Congratulations to all the winners for their efforts to transform the industry and the communities they serve.”
