1201 Walnut
The 1201 Walnut Building is a Skyscraper located in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA, built by HNTB Architects in 1991. Found at the intersection of 12th and Walnut streets, it is the eighth tallest habitable structure in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and the twelfth-tallest habitable structure in Missouri, at 427 feet. The exterior is made of mostly dark-colored glass, and granite panels, and is very close the new Sprint Center and Power & Light District, part of the redevelopment of downtown
the first example of French Iron Curtain Wall construction in the United States. This main component was attached to two anchor stores, The Jones Store and Macy's, via sky bridges. There was also a sky bridge crossing Walnut St. to the 1201 Walnut office tower, as well as a multi-level parking garage that also incorporated two historic renovations, retaining the façade of the Jenkins Music Building, and the Bonfils Building at the corner of 12th and Grand.
