523 Grand Blvd

A boutique historic loft building in Kansas City’s River Market, constructed in 1915 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property contains a small number of spacious two-bedroom loft-style units characterized by high ceilings (often 10–12 feet), oversized multi-directional windows, and industrial touches such as exposed ductwork and concrete or polished bamboo plank floors. Interiors commonly include open-plan living areas with kitchen islands or long work-surfaces, painted or solid wood cabinetry, pantry space, vaulted ceiling volumes, walk-in closets, and modern conveniences like in-unit laundry and smart thermostats. Bathrooms range from updated spa-style showers with marble surrounds to contemporary matte-tiled walk-in showers; many units feature restored or custom finishes including concrete countertops, California Closet systems, and curated lighting. Shared building features emphasize urban convenience: an underground or gated secured garage with assigned parking, a fenced patio with a separate dog area, and healthy HOA reserves with tax abatement incentives. The building’s façade retains historic architectural ornamentation while loft units provide Juliet balconies, private terraces on select penthouses, and views toward downtown and the City Market. Located steps from farmers’ markets, restaurants, bars, streetcar access, and CPKC stadium, the building supports a walkable, amenity-rich urban lifestyle with pet-friendly outdoor space and a compact, community-oriented ownership structure.
