Architecture

Established in 1946 in Jacksonville, KBJ has been one of the region’s leading architectural firms and has been a significant part of shaping the landscape of north and central Florida.

In its seven decades of practice, KBJ has been the architect for significant buildings throughout the Southeast. In 1953, KBJ designed Florida’s first high-rise office building, the South Central Home Office in Jacksonville for the Prudential Insurance Company of America, following in 1986 with the Company’s companion high-rise on an adjacent site. Additionally, KBJ has designed high rise and mid rise office buildings for several other corporations in Jacksonville, literally shaping its skyline.
