IRG, PREP Set to Redevelop Towne West Square Mall, Create a New Era as Wichita Business Park

Community Support and Use Changes will Shape New Vision

WICHITA, Kan., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial Realty Group, LLC (IRG), one of the country's largest owners of commercial and industrial properties, and Provider Real Estate Partners, LLC (PREP), a dedicated real estate fund management and advisory firm, recently announced the partnership has acquired the Wichita Business Park in Wichita, Kansas. The 650,000 square foot property sits on 60 acres and was formerly known as the Towne West Square Mall.

"The City of Wichita is thrilled to have new ownership of this property and is excited about the redevelopment plan proposed by IRG and PREP," said Lily Wu, Mayor of Wichita.

The team plans on redeveloping the property through a conversion of the former mall and department store space to create a multi-tenant campus. Strategically located in the southwest quadrant of Wichita with proximity to Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, the development will expand the property's retail and commercial use to offer modern office, light industrial, advanced manufacturing, research and development and flex spaces tailored to meet the evolving needs of today's businesses.  With sustainable infrastructure and easy access to major transportation routes, the new business park will be an economic hub and create long-term regional prosperity.

 "Wichita Business Park reflects our commitment to fostering a dynamic and future-ready business environment in Wichita," said Dalton Glasscock, District 4 Councilman for the City of Wichita.

The location of the property, the physical characteristics of the buildings and the metrics of the Wichita market, set up nicely for the property's conversion. 

"We are confident in Wichita Business Park's success because it has all of the right components coming together," said Peter Goffstein, Executive Vice President at IRG. "From the market dynamics to its great location, this project is a prime opportunity to fill a need in the Wichita community."

The diversity of tenants will create demand for future service retail, restaurants and other complimentary uses on the peripheral land, further contributing to the business park's growth.

"Wichita Business Park will serve as a catalyst for future economic growth in the greater Wichita market," said Chris Salata, Partner with PREP. "We expect this project to attract future investment and support job creation in and around southwest Wichita."

In May, Wichita's Planning Commission and City Council approved a zoning overlay that will help facilitate the redevelopment. Construction is set to begin this summer with the first tenants projected to occupy space in Q1 2026.
