What is an HOA?

An HOA is Home Owners Association. or otherwise known as a condo association?

The condo association is the governing body of the condo project. The members of the association are the condo unit owners. The members elect a Board of Directors to oversee the management and operations of the condo, hold an annual meeting to elect officers, vote on proposed changes to the By-Laws and any other significant issues.

What is a 'Master Association'?

When more than one condo association shares certain amenities (pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, etc.), the amenities may be owned and managed by a separate master or "umbrella" association. Each condo association or units owner pays a pro-rata share of the operating costs of the master association. This cover things like maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, staff, etc.


What does the Board of Directors actually do?

The Board of Directors sets policies, adopts rules, establishes the annual operating budget and the condo fees, hires and supervises the property manager, approves service contracts, resolves problems, appoints committees, reviews topical issues, and numerous other tasks.

The Board forms committees to assist in the operation of the building. Committees commonly include: budget and finance, building systems, capital improvements, security, grounds and landscaping, communications, social, decorating, etc.

Committees provide owners with an excellent opportunity to get involved in their community and help make it a better place to live.

So...If you are in the market to buy a Condo... Make sure you know the agenda of the Condo association as well as the finances.

From Grocer Supplier to Condo? FORD LOFTS

In 1915 Ray Atlee Ford created the Ford Transfer Company.  Originating in Council Bluffs, providing storage and hauling services of flour, rice, grain and other bulk products to local grocers.
After his brother Roy Virgil Ford returned from WWI they formed a partnership business where Ray operated the storage side of the business and Roy operated the delivery side.  Shortly thereafter the brother's business boomed due to the industrial revolution and they created a network of national delivery lines.  This surge in business created a need for much more storage so they leased and later purchased 1024 Dodge street in the heart of Downtown Omaha Nebraska... 
Later to be known as the Ford lofts.  
Years later in 2006, this storage building was converted to Condominiums.  This conversion was a 13 million dollar project creating 64 Condominium units including one, two and three bedroom lofts of up to 2800 square feet in size.

Brothers CW, WT and JB Kitchen built the first Paxton Hotel for about $250,000. They named it after Omahan William Paxton, a frontier entrepreneur active in cattle production, railroading and freight. Among some of the prominent guests who stayed at the Old Paxton were "Buffalo" Bill Cody and William Jennings Bryan.

A most intriguing event associated with the original Paxton was the murder of Harry King, son of the millionaire owner of Browning, King & Co. men's apparel store in Omaha. King's mistress, Elizabeth Bechler, fired two shots at him as he walked away from her in the hotel lobby.

President McKinley stayed at the Paxton during the Trans-Mississippi Exposition.

The Paxton served as the headquarters for three political parties: the Bull Moose, Democratic and Republican. Such dignitaries as Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt registered as guests in 1912.

The first Paxton Hotel was demolished to make way for the grand structure that exists today. It took four weeks to raze the Old Paxton.

Eight months and $1.5 million after demolition, the new Paxton Hotel opened. The hotel was regarded as one of Omaha's finer art deco buildings. The carpet in the lobby is said to be the largest ever used in any hotel at that time. The interior design was by Marshall, Field & Co. of Chicago. Features included 420 rooms, four dining rooms, a barbershop and a ballroom, plus modern amenities such as elevators, telegraph and cable services, and even a rooftop dog kennel with runways. Room rates started at $2.50 a night.

The Kitchen brothers sold the Paxton to Joseph Huckins III. The sale was regarded as the largest real estate deal ever to take place in Omaha at that time.

The College World Series was held in Omaha for the first time. The teams stayed at the Paxton.

Color television was displayed at the Paxton and broadcast nationally.

The Paxton boasted air conditioning, a package liquor store and grill room. Throughout the 1930's and 1940's, the hotel hosted the big band sounds of Paul Moorhead, which were broadcast weekly on coast-to-coast radio.

The Paxton stopped operating as a hotel and became the location of the Women's Job Corps.

The Paxton became a hotel once again. Decorated in a "traditional Mediterranean" style, the hotel featured carpeting on all floors and smoked glass mirrors on the lobby walls. Virtually every square inch of the hotel was refurbished, with the exception of three large murals in the lounge. The murals, painted by Nebraska artist, Leonard Thiessen, were part of the original hotel built in 1929.

The Paxton hotel converted to Paxton Manor, a self-care retirement home.

The grandeur of The Paxton is restored into an exclusive condominium residential community with attending shops and offices.

Paxton Events, L.L.C restores the Historic Paxton Ballroom to its original grandeur and reopens the Ballroom as the premier venue for social, charitable, and business events in Downtown Omaha.
