1003 Walnut, Downtown Kansas City, Missouri
A Legacy Preserved
Discover Sentinel Lofts, a premier historic preservation project located in the heart of the East Ninth Street-Grand Boulevard Historic District. Originally constructed in 1914 as the Sentinel Federal Savings Building, this architectural gem designed by Frederick Gunn is being meticulously transformed into a boutique mixed-use sanctuary. By honoring the building’s original steel, concrete, and timber bones rather than opting for demolition, we have significantly minimized environmental impact, repurposing the past to create a sustainable future for urban living.
Modern Craftsmanship, Timeless Character
Sentinel Lofts offers four floors of thoughtfully curated residential and commercial spaces where historic charm meets contemporary luxury. Our one- and two-bedroom lofts feature premium finishes designed for the discerning urbanite, including:
• Refined Interiors: Rich oak hardwood flooring and sleek stone countertops.
• Artisanal Details: Custom tile showers and expansive windows that bathe every unit in natural light.
• Effortless Living: In-unit laundry and high-efficiency mechanical systems for ultimate comfort.
The experience begins in the residential lobby, where expertly restored terrazzo floors, rich wood paneling, and mid-century light fixtures offer a warm, sophisticated welcome home.
Exceptional Amenities
Experience the unique juxtaposition of history and utility. Our state-of-the-art fitness center, social lounge, and private storage are creatively housed within the building’s original bank vault on the lower level. For added convenience, secure resident parking is located directly adjacent to the property.
