The former Kansas City Club building near the Kansas City Power Light District is for sale.
The 160,000-square-foot, 15-story building at 1228 Baltimore Ave. is listed for $8.95 million.
Gibson Kerr, principal and managing broker for RE/MAX Commercial Solutions, is listing the landmark building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
“The former Kansas City Club building represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kansas City history and to purchase it at a fraction of its replacement cost,” Kerr said in an email. “This is where Harry Truman played poker and the scene of countless memories for generations of Kansas Citians.”
The building’s owners, led by Mark Latshaw of Latshaw Development, are selling to pursue other development opportunities, Kerr said. Latshaw did not immediately return a call.
The listing suggests the building would be ideal for adaptive reuse as a boutique hotel.
The Kansas City Club, which includes five floors of banquet or meeting space, also has a lap pool and fitness center on the 13th floor.
The building was renovated in 2002 and converted into a mixed-use facility with loft apartments and banquet areas.
Kerr said the location had improved dramatically from a decade ago and probably would continue on that trajectory.
