WICHITA — Construction has begun at Laham Development’s latest development, which is on almost six acres at the northwest corner of Kellogg and Towne East Mall Drive.
LongHorn Steakhouse is the first tenant to sign a lease there. The chain already has a Wichita site on the west side near 21st and Maize Road.
Its east-side restaurant will be 6,200 square feet, which will allow for more than 240 diners, and will open in September.
On property next to Laham’s, Old Chicago is already in business, and further east BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is under construction.
Other deals are in the works for the new development, says Cathy Erickson, vice president at Laham Development, which also has Bradley Fair, Regency Lakes and Plazzio among other developments.
“We have had interest from several different groups for different types of businesses,” Erickson says. “We’re evaluating all our options.”
That could be more restaurants, retail or even a hotel.
“We hope to have announcements on some of the other parcels later this summer.”
