The Kilroy Stars inspire hope and collaboratively light up our communities. In fostering the sublime power of art, the Stars represent a unique reflection of their time and place. They shine bright 24 hours a day and use their vantage points and color programming to express unity with their surrounding community and communities worldwide.

Kilroy partnered with Zoetic Digital, digital art program creators out of San Francisco, and a team of renowned artists and fabricators to bring these 3D sculptures. The ornate Stars are designed and built by Engineered Artworks, an Oakland-based design and fabrication studio that specializes in extraordinary custom art installations, large-scale immersive experiences, and imaginative feats of engineering using metal, light & fire. They have been commissioned by The Smithsonian, and brought spectacles to Burning Man and other public venues around the country.
BEHIND THE
SCENES
KILROY'S COMMITMENT TO ART
Kilroy Realty has a love affair with great art. They believe in art as an alluring peek into the collective cultural consciousness—an endeavor to convey and to connect. Their properties are no different. Kilroy’s buildings are designed to reflect sophisticated environmental expressions, and the art in these spaces are carefully curated to complement that aesthetic. The result is inspirational, beautiful places to inspire imagination and spur creativity. In addition to its latest pop-up installation, The Kilroy Star, the company has a robust art program, with over 300 pieces throughout its West Coast real estate portfolio, with approximately 50 being public.
