History

The building opened in 1963 as the Wichita Executive Centre. For several years, it was the tallest building in Wichita until surpassed by the Holiday Inn Plaza (now the Garvey Center) in 1969. [1]

A major renovation was carried out in 2017, updating its HVAC, elevators, roof, water lines, signage, and parking garage. [2]

In 2021, a redevelopment plan was announced to convert portions of the tower into a mixed-use project including residential units, retail space, and a rooftop "sky park" with pool. Financing delays, however, have postponed full implementation. [3]

The building is classified as a Class B office property. [2]

Tenants and usage

125 N Market has traditionally been an office tower with ground-floor retail. Leasing information lists amenities such as a conference center, onsite restaurant, and structured parking. [4]

The tower is considered a downtown Wichita landmark and remains one of the tallest structures in the city. Its planned conversion to mixed-use space reflects wider trends in downtown revitalization and adaptive reuse of mid-20th century high-rises. [3]
