The Insurance Building

The company’s headquarters, known locally as the Insurance Building, is one of Amman’s landmark modernist structures and was once the city’s tallest tower.
Construction began in the 1950s and finished in 1961. Initiated by the Bdeir family as a symbol of modernization and progress for the Jordan Insurance Company, it marked Amman’s first high-rise.
Designed by Lebanese architect Khalil Khoury, influenced by Modernism, the Bauhaus movement, and early Brutalist architecture, the building showcases mid-century innovation in Jordan. Its three interlocking volumes—a glazed office wing, a vertical circulation core, and a podium integrated into the slope—form a composition that engages the city’s topography.
The structure remains an icon of Amman’s mid-20th-century architectural and economic transformation.
