The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Mutual chairman and CEO James Blackledge along with Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert, and other dignitaries.
The headquarters tower will be built in a way to support flexible work approaches – in-person, remote and hybrid work modes.
Blackledge said: “We are creating a hub for work at Mutual of Omaha – a dynamic and inviting place where our associates come together to work, to collaborate, to innovate, to serve our customers and to build on the culture that makes Mutual of Omaha such a special place.
“That’s why we are calling our new headquarters Project Beacon. It will be a beacon inviting our employees to a new, modern workplace from which to fulfill our noble purpose of helping our customers protect what they care about and build their financial futures. It also will be a beacon for vitality, development and investment in our downtown.”
