Does every group with a finite classifying space have finitely generated center?

Remarks:

1. Finite classifying space means that the group is the fundamental group of a finite aspherical cell complex.

2. I suspect the above question is a well-known open problem, but cannot find it stated in the literature, so a reference would be appreciated.

3. Alperin-Shalen (Inventiones, 1982) showed that the answer is yes for every subgroup of $GL_n(K)$ where $n>0$ and $K$ is a field of characteristic zero.

4. The answer is also yes for elementary amenable groups. (I know a proof, but have no reference).
