909 Walnut is among the tallest residential buildings in the Midwest outside of Chicago boasting twin-spires atop 35-stories. 909 Walnut is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was built in 1930-31 as the Fidelity National Bank & Trust Building (referred to locally as the Fidelity Building) that was liquidated in 1933 during the Great Depression. In 1946, the building was acquired by the United States federal government and renamed the Federal Office Building. In 2000, 909 Walnut was acquired by Dallas-based Glenn Solomon of Simbol Commercial Inc., and Housing Horizons, LLC, a subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark Corporation for a historic update and makeover that transformed the building to its original grand scale with 161 condos, 90,000 square feet of commercial office space and to a 323-space attached, eight-story, gated garage. The top of the garage also includes a 16,000-square-foot, award-winning rooftop garden.
