The CitiCenter Building is a historic high-rise building in Akron, Ohio. The eleven-story structure is the eleventh-tallest in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

The building was constructed in 1931 as a Young Women's Christian Association branch. The building was purchased by a developer in 1985. It then held the CitiCenter Athletic Club, which closed in 2018. The building also held multiple city departments, until vacating around 2018.[2]

In 2018, a Cleveland-based developer purchased the building. The company then proposed it for redevelopment at a cost of $28 million, to create 95 apartments and three floors of office space. The building project won a $3 million state tax credit in 2020, allowing the project to begin.[3]
