Sentinel Lofts 1003 Walnut Street, Downtown Kansas City
Sentinel Lofts is a boutique mixed-use community located at 1003 Walnut Street in the heart of Downtown Kansas City. Originally built in 1914 as the Sentinel Federal Savings Building and designed by renowned architect Frederick Gunn, this historic landmark sits within the East Ninth Street Grand Boulevard Historic District. Thoughtfully preserved and rehabilitated, the building blends timeless architectural character with modern design, offering a sustainable approach to urban living through the adaptive reuse of its original steel, concrete, wood, and glass elements.
The property features four floors of beautifully designed one- and two-bedroom loft apartments above vibrant ground-floor commercial space. Residences showcase oak hardwood flooring, stone countertops, in-unit laundry, tile showers, and expansive windows that flood each home with natural light. The welcoming residential lobby highlights restored terrazzo flooring, rich wood paneling, and mid-century light fixtures, honoring the building's historic charm.
The first floor includes a dynamic commercial suite with vaulted ceilings, original marble accents, and energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems. Unique resident amenities are located in the lower level, creatively integrated within the former Sentinel Bank vault, and include a fitness center, social lounge, and private storage. Secure resident parking is conveniently located adjacent to the property.
Pet-friendly and ideally situated just one block from the KC Streetcar, Sentinel Lofts offers unmatched walkability and easy access to the River Market, Power & Light District, Crossroads Arts District, and more.
