TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Wichita!

Don’t look at the weather forecast for Sunday. Especially after the beautiful weather last night.

Let’s get to it!

Together with Skyline Builders

When the wind picks up, the last thing on your mind should be your building.

That’s why we build for Kansas weather from the ground up: a compacted base, reinforced concrete pad, and one dedicated crew that handles the entire build start to finish.

With over 250 buildings completed and a 1-in-20 callback rate, our 5-year workmanship guarantee is just added peace of mind.

If you want a building that stays straight and square long after the storms roll through, now’s the time to plan ahead.

Secure your spot on the 2026 schedule today.

The Last Mile

The 176,000 sq-ft “last mile” Amazon facility in Bel Aire is about to open and is now hiring ~100 workers.

This could mean faster delivery for you, just in case getting anything you need in 2-3 days isn’t fast enough.

GIFTED

Kusina Ni Cheska

Two of my good friends - Wichita by EB and Jacob with Manage to Create - have come up with a new project and video series highlighting local gifts to Wichita who deserve love and attention from Wichita.

The second highlight is Kusina Ni Cheska, Wichita’s only Filipino restaurant.

Thank you to all of our current Wichita Life Insiders!
