Developers Robert Eyster and Michael Ramsey have plans for Kelly Donham's former hole in the ground

WICHITA — Developers Robert Eyster and Michael Ramsey have added another downtown project to their plate.

"We took over the pit," Ramsey says of the hole in the ground that developer Kelly Donham previously owned.

The property is on Douglas Avenue between Main and Market streets.

"I can't tell you exactly what we're going to do right now," Ramsey says.

He does, though, say that it will be a multiuse building.

"It's going to be in conjunction with some other things going on . . . on Market Street.

The developers are about to acquire more property on South Market Street.

It's close to where the hole in the ground is, but it's not adjacent to it.

Donham still owns the building where the Woolf Brothers department store used to be at Market and Douglas. He didn’t return a call to discuss his plans.
