City Center Square is a skyscraper in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA, built by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, in Spring of 1977. It consumes the entire block of 11th Street to 12th Street, and from Main Street, to Baltimore Street. It is 30-stories tall, and uses a reinforced concrete structure evident by the look of the exterior. It is the tenth tallest habitable structure in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and the fifteenth tallest habitable structure in Missouri at 404 feet (123 m).
In 2003 the property was appraised at $38 million when Citigroup underwrote a $29 million loan. Net operating income was $3.1 million. As the real estate market rose, the property was re-appraised in February 2005 for $60 million and Ally Financial (formerly GMAC) underwrote a $44 million 10-year loan. This loan went delinquent in April 2010. An August 2010 appraisal estimated property value at $38 million, below the $41 million remaining principal.
