For $4.7 million, this KC condo could be yours. Here’s the history behind it
You’ve probably seen the Kansas City skyline hundreds of times. But have you ever dreamed about living in one of the buildings that’s a part of it?
This spring, that could be a reality for someone new. A multimillion dollar Kansas City condo in the heart of the Financial District has been unofficially placed on the market for the first time. The penthouse takes up the 32nd through 35th floors in the 909 Walnut apartment building, the fourth-tallest building in Kansas City, according to skyscraper.com.
The 6,100-square-foot condo has three bedrooms, seven bathrooms and dozens of amenities, like a media room, a wet bar, a four-car-garage, and many more. The condo is currently listed at $4.75 million on Homes.com.
According to David Sandvig, the condo’s listing agent, it’s already gaining attention from potential buyers, since it’s a space you don’t see that often in Kansas City.
“Even in cities like Chicago, this is a statement property. Just because you don’t see stuff like this very often,” Sandvig said. “If you want a 6,100 square-foot mansion in Prarie Village or Mission Hills, you can go build that tomorrow. But what you can’t have is a 6,100-square-foot penthouse and one of the most iconic downtown buildings in Kansas City, like you can’t just replicate that.”
Sandvig believes that the penthouse is properly priced, based on the space and the history behind the 909 Walnut building. He also raved about the idea of someone potentially living in a building that’s a part of the Kansas City skyline.
The next most expensive condo listing is a unit on the 14th floor of the Alameda Towers, 400 W. 49th Terrace, according to Homes.com.That unit is currently marked at $2.2 million, which has two bedrooms and four bathrooms in the 3,758-square-foot condo.
The penthouse was previously owned by Alan Antin and Terry Cracraft-Antin. Alan told Homes.com that the couple spent nearly a million dollars on buying the raw space, and several million on building out the property.
The couple spoke to The Kansas City Star back in 2015. They said they added marble floors, mirrored vanities and thick, decorative moldings to the unit. They also said that they had hosted charity events and gatherings in the condo.
“They said that they’ve had up to 100 people at that place. If I could host my 100 closest clients in a setting like that, that would be pretty sweet. So I could see someone wanting to buy it for that as well,” Sandvig said when talking about the couple.
When will the condo hit the market?
Sandvig said the tentative date for the condo to be available is April 13, though that is subject to change. Those interested in the condo can contact Sandvig on Homes.com, or reach out to him at (913) 907-4980.

What’s so special about 909 Walnut?
The building was originally built in 1931 as the Fidelity National Bank & Trust Building. It was purchased by the federal government in 1946 and renamed the Federal Office Building before being repurposed in 2000 to the apartments and condos you see now.
The bank closed in 1933 due to the Great Depression, but later reopened as the Federal Office Building after World War II. The Severe Local Storms Unit (later the National Severe Storms Forecast Center) were once tenants in the building, which tracked the country’s worst weather until 1997.
The address to the building was once 911 Walnut, but was changed to 909 after the Sept. 11 attacks, according to Sandvig.
