LINCOLN- Sandhills Global is planning to expand its campus in northwest Lincoln with 12 new buildings, ultimately adding up to 360,000 square feet for office and commercial space. The City Council on Monday approved an amendment to an existing special permit that includes a preliminary site layout for the expansion, as well as drainage plans, and a waiver to the height requirements so the business can add buildings up to 60 feet tall.

The waiver allows for buildings to be 15 feet beyond the existing 45-foot limit for office space and 5 feet beyond the 55-foot limit for manufacturing and storage space. City planners said the waiver won’t significantly impact surrounding areas because the Sandhills campus is bordered by a business district to the west and northwest and a residential district to the north, which is separated by West Fletcher Avenue and already allows 55-foot apartment buildings.
