Tallest Buildings

 * 1) AEGON Center. Kentucky's tallest building as of 2006, the AEGON Center is located on the block bounded by Market, Jefferson, Fourth and Fifth streets. It is built with gray Italian granite and black granite accents, and a decorative 80-foot high, open-air dome, which is lit at night. There are two ground-level lobbies and a one-acre plaza with fountains. It was designed by John Burgee Architects of New York. The tower contains 640,000 square feet of floor space, and was built at a cost of $100 million, with ground broken in July 1991. As its corporate namesake has changed names, it has been known as the Capital Holding Building, the Providian Center and its current name since June 1997. It is a multi-tenant building, housing offices for AEGON, and several law and investment firms.
 * 2) National City Tower. Tallest building in Kentucky from its construction in 1972 until the completion of the AEGON Center. Located at 5th and Main Streets. It was designed by the firm Harrison & Abramovitz.
