The Bryant Building located at 1102 Grand Ave, in the heart of downtown Kansas City, Missouri is an architecturally and historically significant landmark in the Kansas City skyline. The 26 story high-rise was built in 1930 and was home to many influential professionals over the past 75 years.
The Bryant building provides vast fiber and connectivity for telecommunication tenants. About 20 different Carriers have fiber in the building,
and an additional 10 carriers have fiber
in the street outside the building. Over the past 12 years, the who’s who of the telecommunication industry, including Wiltel, MCI, SBC, and Westel, have created data centers in the Bryant Building.
The Bryant Building has the unique position of being located on two separate and diverse power grids. What this means is that the Bryant Building primary power is supplied from two separate KCP&L and diverse power grids and if one of the KCP&L power grids fails the other power grid will automatically start supplying power to the building. The Bryant Building is only one of a few buildings in the downtown KC area to be configured on two separate power grids.
The ownership group of the Bryant Building, 1102 Grand LLC, with the help of the current tenants, has completed the architectural, engineering and implementation plans to develop the Bryant Building to be a complete carrier hotel facility with the ability to service the needs of any size telecommunications company.
The Bryant Building over the next 6 months will undergo a transformation to a full service carrier hotel catering to the special needs of telecommunication providers and telecomunication service users. Many improvements to power and HVAC reliability, access and increases in capacity will be implemented. In additional special requirements for redundant fiber paths, expanded conduit facilities, rooftop improvements for wireless providers and a carrier-neutral Meet-me-Room have or will be developed in support of telecommunication providers and service users. See Planned Improvements for complete details.
