Two Prudential Plaza, Commercial building in downtown Jacksonville, United States
Two Prudential Plaza is a 22-story office building completed in 1985 in downtown Jacksonville. It stands at the intersection of the city's business districts and provides multiple corporate office spaces.
The building was designed in 1985 by KBJ Architects, a firm founded by three University of Florida graduates in 1946. It was built during a period of major urban expansion and vertical development in the city.
The building reflects 1980s design tastes when commercial structures in downtown Jacksonville began using contemporary materials and forms on their exterior surfaces. It is part of the wave of office development that shaped how the center looked during that decade.
The tower stands on Jacksonville's Southbank, across the St. Johns River from the downtown core, so visitors reach it by crossing one of the river bridges or by water taxi. The surrounding Southbank streets are walkable, and the building is a short walk from the riverfront. It is a working office tower, so interior access is limited to tenants and their guests.
The building is one of 17 structures in Jacksonville designed by KBJ Architects. This concentration of work shows how much influence the firm had on shaping the city's skyline during the development era.
