The Root, an Oklahoma-based coworking and hospitality brand, is set to open the doors to The Root – Builders, its first location in Omaha’s newest downtown neighborhood, the Builders District. The company has transformed over 25,000 square feet of the 1501 Mike Fahey building, bringing downtown Omaha its unique and elevated style of flexible coworking, offices, meeting rooms, and event space.
This marks The Root’s fourth location and its second outside of Oklahoma, where the brand originated from. The expansion into Omaha aligns with the company’s mission to foster vibrant, community-focused workspaces in emerging neighborhoods.
“We’ve been eyeing Omaha for a while, and when we were introduced to this opportunity in the Builders District, we knew it was the perfect fit,” said Ben Von Drehle, Founder & CEO of The Root Coworking. “The neighborhood is growing fast, it’s walkable, it’s packed with energy — everything we look for when choosing a new home for our brand, and our members.”
The new location, referred to as “The Root – Builders,” is being developed in partnership with Omaha-based Noddle Companies. It will feature private offices, team suites, flexible workspaces, meeting rooms, a private event space, a podcast studio, and an in-house espresso bar, along with a range of other premium amenities. Designed with a focus on hospitality and community building, the Omaha location will carry forward The Root’s signature style — blending modern work amenities with curated, local touches.
“Whether you’re a freelancer, remote worker, a startup team, or enterprise company looking to land your new HQ, our goal is to make coming to work something you and your team actually look forward to,” added Von Drehle.
Located just blocks from Charles Schwab Field and Creighton University, and surrounded by a growing mix of residential, retail, and office developments, The Root – Builders is poised to be a key player in the ongoing revitalization of the Builders District.
The Root will be opening their doors on Monday, June 23rd to the public, and will be offering a free week of coworking, and daily community events to anyone interested in trying out the space. They are currently offering exclusive founding member discounts and perks to those who sign up for a membership before the official launch date.
