A century of history on the outside. A completely new chapter taking shape inside.

Built in 1922 as the Kansas City Title and Trust Building, 929 Walnut has stood at 10th and Walnut for more than 100 years. Today, we are giving it a new purpose through adaptive reuse, transforming the former downtown office building into loft residences and commercial space while preserving the character that makes it worth saving.

And the exterior is only part of the story.

Stay tuned as we take you inside 929 and share more of the spaces, details and design decisions behind the transformation.

For more than a century, this building has been part of downtown Kansas City, and preserving that history has been an important part of this project from the beginning.

Our involvement with 929 goes well beyond the role of architect. As architects, developers and owners, we’ve had the opportunity to approach the building from every side, from determining what could be preserved and adapted to creating a residential experience that works for how people live today.

The transformation is significant, but 929 still feels connected to the building that was here long before us. That balance between preserving what gives a property its character and making it viable for the future is a big part of why we believe in adaptive reuse.

We’re proud of what 929 has become and even more excited to see people experience it for themselves.

There’s a difference between preserving a building and giving it a future.

For us, adaptive reuse has always been about understanding what’s already there, identifying what makes it worth keeping, and finding the right way to move it forward.

Aiden is that philosophy realized.
What was once the historic 1919 Mutual Building has been reimagined as a new hospitality experience in the heart of Kansas City, with the character of the original building still very much part of the story.
Historic character. New purpose. Built for what’s next.

Every redevelopment starts with one question:

Does the project work?

At Exact, we bring design sense + business sense to the same table. Connecting architecture, feasibility, incentives and ex*****on early so better decisions get made faster.

We start with the pro forma. Understanding the business case from the beginning shapes every recommendation we make, from early feasibility through design, construction and beyond.

Whether you’re evaluating a historic property, planning a hospitality project or exploring your next redevelopment opportunity, we’re focused on creating places that work on paper, work in practice and perform for the long term.

Considering your next redevelopment project? We'd love to be part of the conversation.

A lot of work goes into creating spaces that truly serve the people who use them.

Ageless Adventures was designed to provide a welcoming environment where older adults can build community, stay active, and receive quality care. Congratulations on the ribbon cutting and this exciting milestone. We’re grateful to have helped transform that vision into a place that will make a lasting impact.

"That building looks so cool... I wonder what's inside."

We're glad you asked.

Behind the historic exterior, the Aiden Hotel brings new life to one of Kansas City's downtown buildings through thoughtful adaptive reuse. From welcoming gathering spaces to carefully designed guest rooms, every detail was created to honor the building's history while shaping its future.

Sometimes the best part is what's inside.

A lot can change in a year.

These two photos tell the story of the Aiden Hotel. What began as an active construction site is now a thoughtfully reimagined destination in the heart of downtown Kansas City.

Hunter Farrell has been part of the project from the very beginning, helping bring this adaptive reuse project to life. We can't wait to see the doors officially open on September 8th and celebrate this building's next chapter.

Kansas City’s next must-see destination hotel is calling.

A closer look reveals the details shaping the Aiden experience. From custom room signage and vintage-inspired touches to bold patterns, warm materials and carefully considered architectural moments.

Through thoughtful adaptive reuse, we helped give this historic Kansas City building a new purpose while preserving the character that made it worth reimagining.

Join us September 8th for the grand opening as Aiden begins its next chapter.

Not every building looks like potential at first. That’s exactly the point.

Worn finishes, exposed structure and outdated spaces rarely photograph like the final vision. Adaptive reuse begins by looking beyond what is immediately visible, and identifying what has value, what should be preserved and where thoughtful intervention can create the greatest impact.

We don't just see a building as it stands today. We see what it could become.

As 929 Walnut moves closer to its grand opening, the details are beginning to tell the full story.

Original brick, richly veined stone, Art Deco-inspired patterns and thoughtfully layered finishes connect the building’s historic character with a new residential experience. Even the smallest elements were considered to ensure the transformation feels elevated, cohesive and true to the architecture that came before it.

The doors will open soon and we’re looking forward to sharing more of this remarkable downtown revitalization.

Historic character. Modern living. Designed, developed and operated with intention. Follow the Red X inside the transformation of 929 Walnut.
