INVESTMENT MULTIFAMILY Two apartment buildings are planned south of Wichita State University near Bluff Ave and 17th. The developers are planning to add 84 units with 147 bedrooms around an existing building that has 35 one-bedroom apartments. Tom George, who converted the former Kellogg and Sunnyside elementary schools into apartments, has just opened eight apartments made from shipping containers across from the Kellogg apartments. The rents range from $480 to $500 for the 400 SF units. Notable sales in the multifamily market for the second quarter include the 253-unit Farmington Place Apartments, the 94-unit Garden Pines Apartments, 88-unit Ridgeport Apartments, and the 192-unit Somerset Apartments. HOSPITALITY The Wichita City Council voted to allow a 30-day first right of refusal to the DoubleTree by Hilton Wichita Airport for a land lease and use agreement that would last until 2069. The city was originally planning to grant the lease to developer Mitesh Patel, who planned to construct a 90-room hotel before concerns were raised about the first refusal. The hotel would be just north of the existing airport Hampton Inn. Construction continues on the 131-room downtown Hilton Garden Inn – Commerce Plaza located at Douglas & Topeka as well as the Home2 Suites at 21st & K-96. There were no notable sales in the hospitality market for the second quarter. MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES Notable sales in the manufactured housing community market for the second quarter include the 119-site Cedar Ridge Manufactured Housing Community at 5135 S Hydraulic and the 199-site Lakeside Landing Manufactured Housing Community at 2625 S West St. SELF-STORAGE
Activity in the Wichita multifamily market has remained steady in the first half of 2019. Approximately 2,000 units are projected to be sold in 2019 - similar to 2017 and 2018, but down from the nearly 3,000 sold annually from 2014 to 2016. Both regional and local buyers remain active in the market, however available quality product is limited, leading to multiple at or above asking price offers on stabilized, well-maintained properties.
The Wichita Self Storage development at the former Jeff Englert Johnson’s Garden Center site at 802 N Ridge is getting Senior Vice President closer to completion and should be finished in the third quarter. Construction continues on the three-story U-Haul rental and self-storage facility located at 600 S Holland just west of Kellogg & Ridge. The facility will have more than 700 climatecontrolled storage units and 110 outdoor drive-up storage units. Construction has yet to start on the three 105,000 SF Centennial American Properties that will each have three stories with 750 units. The first two locations are planned for 13th & Maize behind CVS and the other at Kellogg & Webb.
