The future is built by
people who build together.
A curated community of change agents on the 7th floor of a historic Kansas City landmark. Housing advocates beside architects. Climate organizers next to developers. Under one roof of exposed timber and original brick, doing work that matters.
Discover the CommunityNot a coworking space.
A community of practice.
Remote work solved the commute. But it left something behind: the hallway conversations that become referrals, the coffee-line introductions that become partnerships, the proximity to people doing adjacent, important work.
The Poindexter is an intentionally curated ecosystem of professionals and organizations united by a shared commitment to improving quality of life for people and the planet. Housing advocates work alongside architects. Climate policy organizers share a floor with health care leaders and sustainable developers. The result is a living network of cross-pollination that cannot be replicated on Zoom.
We believe the built environment shapes community, and the people shaping the built environment should be in community with each other. This 7th-floor space, with its exposed timber ceilings and original brick walls, is where that belief becomes practice.
Not everyone is a fit, and that is the point. This is a curated community that grows stronger with every organization that joins.

Herman Miller standing desks. Exposed timber ceilings and original brick walls. Private offices, conference rooms, a full kitchen cafe, and natural light on every side. The space does the talking.

Travel & HospitalityThe Poindexter Data Center
Your team on the 7th floor. Your infrastructure on the ground floor. Your data never leaves the building.
The Poindexter Data Center is 20,000 square feet of climate-controlled, physically secure infrastructure designed for organizations that need to own and control their compute. This is not another cloud provider. This is sovereign, on-premises hardware in a building full of people working on the same challenges you are.
For firms doing climate modeling, health data analytics, AI research, architectural computation, and design rendering, the advantage of physical proximity is real: direct access to your hardware, complete data sovereignty, and a community of peers one elevator ride away.
Data Sovereignty
Client-owned hardware under your physical control. No third-party access.
Proximity
Your team upstairs, your models training downstairs, all in one building.
Climate Controlled
20,000 SF purpose-built facility with dedicated cooling and power infrastructure.

The Poindexter Social Club
The only modern social membership club in downtown Kansas City. Not just a gym. A fitness, wellness, and social space where work transitions into life and colleagues become friends. Opening within 12 months.
When the Kansas City Club closed in 2015, it left a void in downtown's social fabric. No modern replacement has emerged. Until now.
The Poindexter Social Club is a 20,000-square-foot hybrid fitness-wellness-social-coworking concept occupying the building's first floor. It is designed as the "after 5 PM" extension of the coworking community on the 7th floor, the place where work relationships become real relationships.
But it is also much more than a perk for coworking members. The Social Club is open to the broader downtown community, with a tiered membership structure designed for genuine mixed-income participation. Higher tiers explicitly subsidize community access, because the strength of a club is measured by the diversity of its members.
All 7th floor coworking members receive Social Club access as part of their membership.
Fitness Floor
3,000 SF with cardio, strength, and functional training. 15 machines, 12 stations.
Movement Studios
Two studios for yoga, pilates, HIIT, and cycling. 25 and 15 person capacity.
Wellness Suite
Dry sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and relaxation area. Recovery meets community.
Bar & Cafe
30-seat bar and cafe at the crossroads of every path. Third-party operated, community centered.
Coworking Lounge
35 workstations, 4 phone booths, and community tables for a change of scenery.
Conference & Events
Divisible conference room (20 capacity), private dining (8), and event rentals.
Membership Tiers
Designed for genuine mixed-income community. Higher tiers explicitly support broader access.
7th floor coworking members receive Social Club access included in their coworking membership. Hot Desk members receive Community tier ($99 value). Dedicated Desk members receive Social tier ($175 value). Private Office members receive All-Access tier ($275 value). Upgrades are available at each level.
