WoodmenLife Tower

The WoodmenLife Tower (formerly the Woodmen Tower or Woodmen of the World Tower) is an office skyscraper in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska, United States, and headquarters of the insurance company WoodmenLife. Construction of the building began in 1966 and was completed in the spring of 1969. At its compl

etion, the 478-foot (146 m), 30-story tower was the tallest building in the state of Nebraska, overtaking the Nebraska State Capitol. It would hold this record for over thirty years until 2002, when it was overtaken by First National Bank Tower. WoodmenLife Tower was praised upon completion for its role in revitalizing downtown Omaha. The exterior features an LED display that lights up the building for holidays and special events, including the “WoodmenLife” sign at the tower’s top, installed in 2020 after the tower’s renaming as part of a company rebranding effort. Since 1988, the tower has been part of the Nebraska Peregrine Falcon Project, where peregrine falcons breed and nest on the building's 28th floor.
