Commerce Trust Building is a 15-story tower built for Kansas City Missouri's biggest bank Commerce Bancshares in 1907,[3] and was Kansas City's second skyscraper following the New York Life building.

It has a facade of red granite and white terra cotta tiles and was Missouri's tallest building when it opened.

Formerly, the site was the home of the Kansas City Journal, which in turn was taken over by Commerce.

Its architect, Jarvis Hunt, also designed Union Station and the headquarters of the Kansas City Star.

[5] Part of the renovation also included illuminating the lobby's ornate glass ceiling to replicate natural sunlight.
