WICHITA — The Assemblies of God Kansas District Council is building new headquarters in Maize.

“It’s another stepping stone towards the Wyn-Wood addition … filling up,” says Curt McNay of Caber Associates Architects and Caber Construction.

He’s the architect and contractor on the project. Michael Cathcart of Cathcart Architects is the design architect.

McNay says the building will be almost 9,000 square feet and will house the main support office for all Assemblies of God churches in the state.

The headquarters currently is near 21st and Rock Road in leased space.

“I just think they want their own building,” McNay says.

Thomas Lassley of Keller Williams Hometown Partners and Leanne Barney of Golden Realtors handled the transaction.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel coming to Maize

April 28, 20105:41 p.m.

UPDATED — Maize has landed its second hotel deal.

On Wednesday, developer Marv Schellenberg and the city of Maize announced plans for a new Holiday Inn Express Hotel, which will be at Schellenberg’s Hampton Lakes development at the northwest corner of 37th and Maize.

Maize Hotel LLC is building the $2.5 million hotel, which will have three stories and 73 rooms and is scheduled to open in April 2011.

“This will just continue to solidify that even though we have a weak economy, Maize’s economy is still growing and strong,” says Rebecca Bouska, Maize’s deputy city administrator.

“We are getting ready to grow pretty quickly, I think, over the next 10 years.”

The hotel is adjacent to the proposed Northwest Bypass.

The Maize Hotel partners, including Mitesh Patel and Raju Sheth, also built the Hampton Inn in Derby. Sheth is still involved there.

The Holiday Inn Express would be the first hotel to be built in Maize’s 124-year history.

“There’s really just nothing on the northwest side as far as hotels go,” Schellenberg says.
