This project will further develop the Douglas Avenue block where the 117-room Ambassador Boutique Hotel, new parking garage and urban park are in final plans and initial construction. "This is a dynamic opportunity for our community" commented Jeff Fluhr, WDDC President. "A city rarely has the opportunity to see an entire block developed as we are experiencing in Downtown Wichita. As a community we have set the goal to be a city of national distinction, today's announcement takes us a step closer to achieving this goal. We applaud the vision and leadership of the Kansas Health Foundation; it's capital investment furthers the synergy of Project Downtown and provides resources that will foster leadership and philanthropy across our state."

 

The following is a site plan of the development for the block bounded by Douglas Avenue, Broadway, Topeka and William Street. A resource of recently completed, under construction and planned Downtown projects may be viewed here.
