美国建筑设计公司Pickard Chilton将在内布拉斯加州的奥马哈市建造一座206米高的摩天大楼，这将成为该州最高的建筑。

这座44层的摩天大楼将成为保险公司Mutual of Omaha的新总部大楼，位于奥马哈市中心。

“这座206米高的总部大楼在竣工之后将成为内布拉斯加州和周围的爱荷华州、密苏里州、 Kansas州、南达科他州和怀俄明州最高的摩天大楼。”Pickard Chilton表示。

这座摩天大楼的设计呈现出玻璃塔的外观，塔顶俯视角可见，并设有贯穿5个楼层的“天空休息厅”，其中包括办公室、餐厅、健身房和户外休息空间。

这座大楼的设计旨在通过灵活的工作环境来提高员工的工作效率。

Construction is underway on a 206-metre-high skyscraper by US architecture studio Pickard Chilton in Nebraska, which is set to be the state's tallest when completed.
Located in Omaha, the 44-storey skyscraper will be the new corporate headquarters of insurance company Mutual of Omaha and is set to be the tallest skyscraper in Nebraska and neighbouring states, according to the team.
"Upon completion, the next-generation 677-foot (206-metre) headquarters tower will be the tallest in Nebraska and in the surrounding states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming," said Pickard Chilton.
Renders of the skyscraper show a glass tower with notched corners topped with a translucent cap.
It will contain 22 floors of offices divided by a 17th-floor "sky lobby" that will span five floors and contain offer, dining, fitness and outdoor spaces.
A double-height conference room will be located on the tower's 44th floor and offer "grand vistas" to visitors.

塔楼的室内部分由HOK建筑工作室设计，目的是利用灵活的工作环境，提升员工们的工作效率。

“设计的亮点是每层的多样性。”HOK公司的室内设计总监Betsy Graham表示。

“从电话间到会议室再到休息区，我们都依据员工的需求创造了工作空间，打造出一种响应式、以人为本的工作环境，体现了公司的精神。”

目前，Mutual of Omaha的总部位于奥马哈市中心，而这座新大楼位于河滨Gene Leahy Mall西侧，这里刚刚重新开放。

据团队介绍，城市规划中的新有轨电车线路促进了这一新项目的推进。

“现代化的城市交通系统使我们能够利用便捷的交通方式，连接总部大楼和周围的区域。”公司CEO James Blackledge在2022年宣布这项计划时表示。

“我们被奥马哈市中心的能量所吸引，我们认为，充满活力的城市核心对于城市的未来至关重要。”他补充说。

这座大楼由内布拉斯加州的Lanoha 房地产公司开发，2022年开始动工，预计将于2026年完工。

Pickard Chilton于1997年成立，总部位于康涅狄格州的新黑文市。

在美国中西部地区，还有其他几个引人注目的项目，包括俄克拉荷马市的Legends塔楼，预计将成为世界上最高的摩天大楼之一；以及威斯康辛州的密尔沃基市最近公布的世界最高的木结构摩天大楼设计方案。

With interiors by architecture studio HOK, the tower's design aims to foster productivity through spaces that were created for a flexible work environment, according to the team.
"One of the most notable aspects of the design is the variety on each floor," said HOK directors of interior Betsy Graham.
"From phone and meeting rooms to break areas, we've carved out opportunities that meet employees where they are – creating a responsive, people-first environment that reflects the spirit of their work."
The company's current headquarters is located in midtown Omaha, while this tower will be located west of the Gene Leahy Mall at the RiverFront, which recently reopened.
According to the team, a new streetcar line planned for the city prompted the move.
"A modern urban transportation system in the form of the planned streetcar line makes this project possible by providing convenient access to our planned headquarters tower and by allowing us to think creatively about many aspects of the project," Mutual of Omaha CEO James Blackledge said when the project was announced in 2022.
"We are inspired by the energy in downtown Omaha and recognize the importance of a vibrant urban core for the city's future," he added.
Developed by the Nebraska-based Lanoha Real Estate Company, construction on the project began last year, with completion estimated for 2026.
Pickard Chilton was founded in 1997 and is based in New Haven, Connecticut.
Other midwest development includes the Legends Tower proposed for Oklahoma City, which if completed will be the tallest skyscraper in the world outside Asia and recently unveiled renderings for the world's tallest mass-timber skyscraper in Milwaukee.
