2345 Grand (formerly the IBM Plaza, IBM Building and Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company Building) is a high-rise office building located in Kansas City, Missouri.[1] It is listed on many sites as being the work of Mies van der Rohe; however, he died in 1969 before the building could be opened in 1977. The work was done by Fujikawa Conterato Lohan & Associates.[2]

The building was originally built to be both the western headquarters of now defunct Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company[3] and an IBM office. At the time, it was called both the Mutual Benefit Building and the IBM Building.

It was acquired by Shorenstein Properties, who sold the building for $49.5 million in 2004 to Hines Interests Limited Partnership and GE Real Estate. In turn, they sold the structure for $75 million to Franklin Street Properties Corp in December 2007.[4]

The current principal tenant in the building is the law firm of Lathrop & Gage, which occupies nine floors of the building. It also houses Missouri's Federal Immigration Court.
