St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church

The beautiful new St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church creates an iconic focal point on the north Ridge Road campus. The 30,300 SF church is designed to inspire faith among those who visit the Church and those who can view the stunning 125’ bell towers from afar. The SPT team worked closely with Fr. Dan Spexarth and the church building committee to design this outstanding example of Neo-Romanesque architecture. The cruciform configuration represents the traditions and history of the Catholic faith. The church alter features a historic marble and alabaster Reredos, which was the inspiration for the sanctuary design and interior color palette. The former church building has been readapted for use as the new fellowship hall.

Seventeenth Apartments

The Seventeenth apartment development is located adjacent to the Wichita State University Campus, south of 17th Street. With previously limited options for new, off-campus student apartments, this development fills a tremendous need in the WSU community. This phased community currently includes four new apartment buildings that offer affordable housing for 274 students. A mix of studio, one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments feature sophisticated interior finishes, ample natural lighting, campus adjacency, and thoughtful amenities, all designed specifically for student residents. Shared amenities include a community lounge, fitness center, outdoor barbecue area, relaxation pool, a private dog run, and an on-site leasing office, as well as a secure parking area. Currently under construction, two additional apartment buildings will be completed this summer, and future phases are planned as part of a larger, mixed-use development.

740 West Second Street Building

The 740 West Second Street Building renovation transforms a former 12,000 SF construction warehouse into a contemporary, Class A mixed-use building with tenant space designed for office, retail, and restaurant uses. A 12,000 SF second story was added, and the eastside entryway features a 2-story glass atrium with an open staircase to create a spacious, impressive lobby with easy access to building tenants. The industrial interior design offers an exposed ceiling structure and cable wire stair railing, with modern lighting. Multiple windows were added to the solid tilt-up concrete panels, and a portion of the existing roof structure was raised to recreate the building entry by giving the lobby and shared multipurpose room better volume and a clerestory of natural light. An eastside balcony provides outdoor space accessible from the training and conference rooms. Positioned at the northern border of the historic Delano District, this project provides an important urban improvement to the McLean Blvd. corridor and adjacent downtown Wichita.
