WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Construction is beginning on the Union at Purple Heart Trail, a new affordable housing complex in east Wichita.

In February, the Wichita City Council voted 7-0 to approve industrial revenue bonds for the project.

The Annex Group of Indianapolis is leading the new $61 million housing development at 300 S. 127th Street East.

The developer says the Union at Purple Heart Trail will offer 240 one, two and three-bedroom units to households whose income level is at or below 60% of the area median income. The anticipated opening is early 2026.
